The common lore dictates that extra dimensional theories loose predictive power at energies just above the compatification scale, due to the power-law running of bulk coupling. We show that five-dimensional gauge-Yukawa theories can be…
We reconsider the constraints on Universal Extra Dimensions (UED) models arising from precision electroweak data. We take into account the subleading contributions from new physics (expressed in terms of the X,Y ... variables), as well as…
Effects of universal extra dimensions on Standard Model observables first arise at the one-loop level. The quantization of this class of theories is therefore essential in order to perform predictions. A comprehensive study of the Standard…
The gauge structure of the four dimensional effective theory originated in a pure five dimensional Yang-Mills theory compactified on the orbifold $S^1/Z_2$, is discussed on the basis of the BRST symmetry. If gauge parameters propagate in…
In this thesis we have explored some of the phenomenological aspects of warped/flat extra dimensional theories and their interface with supersymmetry. We study the numerical impact of compactified warped extra dimension on the processes gg…
In this thesis we discuss some aspects concerning the construction of a 4D effective theory derived from higher dimensional (in particular 6D) models. The first part is devoted to the study of how the heavy Kaluza-Klein modes contribute to…
Experimental limits on the violation of four-dimensional Lorentz invariance imply that noncommutativity among ordinary spacetime dimensions must be small. Noncommutativity among extra, compactified spatial dimensions, however, is far less…
We study the gauge coupling unification with extra dimensions. We take into account corrections due to the higher dimensional operators. We show the prediction of $\alpha_3(M_Z)$ is sensitive to such corrections, even if…
We study 5 dimensional grand-unified theories in an orbifold geometry by the method of effective field theory: we match the low and high energy theories by integrating out at 1-loop the massive Kaluza-Klein states. In the supersymmetric…
We investigate the decoupling of heavy Kaluza-Klein modes in $\phi^{4}$ theory and scalar QED with space-time topology $\mathbb{R}^{3,1} \times S^{1}$. We calculate the effective action due to integrating out heavy KK modes. We construct…
Analytical calculations of radiative corrections in strong-field QED have hinted that in the presence of an intense plane wave the effective coupling of the theory in the high-energy sector may increase as the $(2/3)$-power of the energy…
We overview the issue of the power corrections to the parton model, mostly within the context of QCD sum rules. There are a few sources of the power corrections responsible for various qualitative effects. The basic idea that the power…
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 one-loop quantum corrections of a compactified Abelian 5d gauge field theory. We use a cut-off regularisation procedure which respects the symmetries of the model, i.e. gauge invariance, exhibits the expected power-like divergences…
We consider variations of coupling strengths and mass ratios in and beyond the Standard Model, in the light of various mechanisms of mass generation. In four-dimensional unified models, heavy quark and superparticle thresholds and the…
We consider QED in five dimensions in a configuration where matter is localized on a 3-brane while foton propagates in the bulk. The idea is to investigate the effects of the Kaluza-Klein modes of the photon in the relativistic regime, but…
In this paper we examine the 4-dimensional effective theory for the light Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes. Our main interest is in the interaction terms. We point out that the contribution of the heavy KK modes is generally needed in order to…
Precision experiments, such as those performed at LEP and SLC, offer us an excellent opportunity to constrain extended gauge model parameters. To this end, it is often assumed, that in order to obtain more reliable estimates, one should…
We calculate the one-loop corrections to the Kaluza-Klein gauge boson excitations in the deconstructed version of the 5D QED. Deconstruction provides a renormalizable UV completion of the 5D theory that enables to control the cut-off…
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…
