The ultra-violet behavior of Kaluza-Klein theories on a one dimensional orbifold is discussed. An extension of dimensional regularization that can be applied to a compact dimension is presented. Using this, the FI-tadpole is calculated in…
We discuss the gauge coupling renormalization in orbifold field theories in which the 4-dimensional graviton and/or matter fields are quasi-localized in extra dimension to generate hierarchically different mass scales and/or Yukawa…
For one and two dimensional field theory orbifolds we compute in the DR scheme the full dependence on the momentum scale (q) of the one-loop radiative corrections to the 4D gauge coupling. Imposing a discrete "shift" symmetry of summing the…
We critically revisit the issue of power-law running in models with extra dimensions. The general conclusion is that, in the absence of any additional physical principle, the power-corrections tend to depend strongly on the details of the…
We show how the tree level unitarity violations of compactified extra dimensional extensions of the Standard Model become much stronger when the scalar sector is included in the bulk. This effect occurs when the couplings are not suppressed…
We analyse the phenomenological implications of a particular class of supersymmetric models with additional space-time dimensions below the unification scale. Assuming the unification of the gauge couplings and using a two-loop calculation…
We study scenarios in which there is a hierarchy of two sets of large compactified extra dimensions. One particularly interesting case has a single millimeter size extra dimension and five TeV^{-1} size dimensions. The Standard Model gauge…
We verify a recently derived equations relating the renormalization group running of two gauge couplings in ${\cal N}=1$ SQCD+SQED by the explicit three-loop calculation. It is demonstrated that these equations are really valid in the…
We suggest a non-minimal renormalization scheme based on dimensional regularization that naturally incorporates threshold effects of heavy particles. By renormalizing couplings and masses to subtract all poles in $d \geq 4$, the resulting…
We measure the impact of nonvanishing boundary localised terms on $\Delta B=2$ transitions in five-dimensional Universal Extra Dimensional scenario where masses and coupling strengths of several interactions of Kaluza-Klein modes are…
For theories with multiple couplings the perturbative $\beta$-functions for scalar, Yukawa couplings are expressible in terms of contributions corresponding to one particle irreducible graphs and also contributions which are one particle…
We discuss the effect of the renormalization procedure in the computation of the unification point for running coupling constants. We explore the effects of threshold--crossing on the $\beta$--functions. We compute the running of the…
We consider the scenario where all the couplings in the theory are strong at the cut-off scale, in the context of higher dimensional grand unified field theories where the unified gauge symmetry is broken by an orbifold compactification. In…
Using an effective field theory approach, we address the effects on the gauge couplings of one and two additional compact dimensions in the presence of a constant background (gauge) field. Such background fields are a generic presence in…
Considering that the momentum squared in the extra dimensions is the physically relevant quantity for the generation of the Kaluza-Klein mass states, we have reanalyzed mathematically the procedure for five dimensional scalar fields within…
The zero to four loop contribution to the cross section $R_{e^{+}e^{-}}$ for $e^{+}e^{-} \longrightarrow$ hadrons, when combined with the renormalization group equation, allows for summation of all leading-log ($LL$), next-to-leading-log…
Extra dimension provides an attractive way to break symmetry by boundary conditions which can be useful to construct a natural grand unified theory avoiding the doublet-triplet splitting problem and the proton decay problem. It can provide…
We study the gravitational correction to the gauge couplings in the extra dimension model where the gravity propagates in the (4+n)-dimensional bulk. We show by explicit calculation in the background field method that the one-loop…
Fermions in a space with some extra dimensional reflection symmetries are considered. In this space only one Kaluza-Klein mode is observed at the scales larger than the sizes of the extra dimensions while at the smaller scales all modes…
A distinctive feature of string unification is the possibility of unification by a non-simply-laced group. This occurs most naturally in four dimensional type~II string models where the gauge symmetry is realized by Kac-Moody algebras at…
