The geometrization of the Electro-Weak Model is achieved in a 5-dimensional Riemann-Cartan framework. Matter spinorial fields are extended to 5 dimensions by the choice of a proper dependence on the extra-coordinate and of a normalization…
Here we consider the tree level corrections to electroweak (EW) observables from standard model (SM) particles propagating in generic warped extra dimensions. The scale of these corrections is found to be dominated by three parameters, the…
Electroweak measurements place significant bounds on higher-dimensional versions of the standard model in which the gauge and Higgs fields have Kaluza-Klein excitations. These bounds may be altered quantitatively if chiral matter is also…
We consider Kaluza-Klein theories as candidates for the unification of gravity and the electro-weak model. In particular, we fix how to reproduce geometrically the interaction between fermions and gauge bosons, in the low energy limit.
The structure of the electroweak theory is suggested by classical geometrical ideas. A nonlinear map is constructed, from a 12-dimensional linear space of three Weyl spinors onto the 12-dimensional tangent bundle of the Stiefel manifold of…
In a Kaluza-Klein background $V^4\otimes S^3$, we provide a way to reproduce, by the dimensional reduction, a 4-spinor with a SU(2) gauge coupling. Since additional gauge violating terms cannot be avoided, we compute their order of…
We propose an alternative to the introduction of an extra gauge (custodial) symmetry to suppress the contribution of KK modes to the T parameter in warped theories of electroweak breaking. The mechanism is based on a general class of warped…
Electroweak symmetry can be naturally broken by observed quark and gauge fields in various extra-dimensional configurations. No new {\it fundamental} fields are required below the quantum gravitational scale ($\sim$ 10 - 100 TeV). We…

We discuss electroweak constraints on TeV scale extensions of the standard model. To obtain model-independent results, effective theory approach is adopted. Constraints are given on arbitrary linear combinations of a set of dimension-6…
We extend the 5D gauge-higgs scenario to the soft-wall framework where the IR brane is replaced by a smoothly decaying warp factor. The electroweak symmetry of the Standard Model is embedded in a larger symmetry group whose gauge bosons…
Electroweak observables are highly sensitive to the loop corrections. Therefore, a proper gauge-fixing mechanism is always needed to define the propagators which are involved in Feynman loop amplitude. With this spirit we compute…
We study several aspects of electroweak vacuum metastability when an extra gauge singlet scalar, a viable candidate for a dark matter particle, is added to the standard model of particle physics, which is assumed to be valid up to the…
We present a geometrical unification theory in a Kaluza-Klein approach that achieve the geometrization of a generic gauge theory bosonic component. We show how it is possible to derive the gauge charge conservation from the invariance of…
In this work we develop a geometrical unification theory for gravity and the electro-weak model in a Kaluza-Klein approach; in particular, from the curvature dimensional reduction Einstein-Yang-Mills action is obtained. We consider two…
Many models beyond the Standard Electroweak Theory, top-down or bottom-up, contain extensions of the gauge symmetry group by extra U(1)' factors which can be understood or treated as subgroups of E(6). A brief overview of such models is…
