We show that the Goldberger-Wise mechanism for the three 3-brane scenario proposed by Kogan et al. stabilizes the radion. We find that the system of 3-branes stabilizes in such a way that the loss in the scale factor is insignificant. That…

The electroweak model is formulated on the nonlinearly realized gauge group SU(2) X U(1). This implies that in perturbation theory no Higgs field is present. The paper provides the effective action at the tree level, the Slavnov Taylor…
The backreaction on the Randall-Sundrum warped spacetime is determined in presence of scalar field in the bulk. A general analysis shows that the stability of such a model can be achieved only if the scalar field action has non-canonical…

In this paper, we study the consequences of the assumption that the gauge group $SU(2)$ of the standard model is a nonassociative image of $Spin(3)$. Such an approach allows us to take a different look at the Higgs mechanism and obtain the…

In certain five dimensional gauge theories compactified on the orbifold $S^1/Z_2$ the Standard Model Higgs doublet is identified with the zero mode of the fifth component of the gauge field. This gauge-Higgs unification scenario is realized…
We present a 5D $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric IR-UV-IR model with a {\it warped KK-parity} under which the bulk fields have towers of either even or odd KK-modes. We show that this $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric geometry is equivalent to two times the…
