Abstract

A five-dimensional lattice space can be decomposed into a number of four-dimens ional lattices called as layers. The five-dimensional gauge theory on the lattice can be interpreted as four-dimensional gauge theories on the multi-layer with interactions between neighboring layers. In the theory, there exist two independent coupling constants; β4\beta_4 controls the dynamics inside a layer and β5\beta_5 does the strength of the inter-layer interaction.We propose the new possibility to realize the continuum limit of a five-dimensional theory using four-dimensional dynamics with large β4\beta_4 and small β5\beta_5. Our result is also related to the higher dimensional theory by deconstruction approach.
