We present a construction of non-Abelian gauge theories on the R^4 x S^1/Z_2 orbifold. We show that no divergent boundary mass term for the Higgs field, identified with some of the fifth dimensional components of the gauge field, is…

In this paper we study the properties of the phase diagram of a simple extra dimensional model on the lattice at finite temperature. We consider the five-dimensional pure gauge abelian model with anisotropic couplings which at zero…

We examine the problem of gauge-field localization in higher-dimensional gauge theories. In particular, we study a five-dimensional U(1) by lattice techniques and we find that gauge fields can indeed be localized. Two models are considered.…

The scalar interaction term of the top mode standard model can be generated by a gauge theory. It is emphasized that in this approach generalization to family space directly yields a heavy top quark while leaving all other quarks massless.…

We explore the possible low energy phases of the confining non-supersymmetric $SU(5)$ chiral gauge theory with three generations of fermions in the $(10+\bar{5})$ representations. This theory has the same fermion and gauge matter content as…

We propose a new approach towards the understanding of confinement. Starting from an anisotropic five dimensional pure gauge theory, we approach a second order phase transition where the system reduces dimensionally. Dimensional reduction…

We extend to large lattices the work of a previous investigation of the phase diagram of the anisotropic five-dimensional SU(2) Yang-Mills model using Monte Carlo simulations in the regime where the lattice spacing in the fifth dimension is…

We investigate the phase structures of theories which differ from QCD only in the gauge group and can be simulated on the lattice at non-vanishing chemical potential $\mu$. These theories can thus serve as testing ground for functional…

In order to investigate the phenomenological implications of allowing gauge fields to propagate in warped spaces of more than five dimensions, we consider a toy model of a space warped by the presence of a anisotropic bulk cosmological…

Topological insulators are materials where current does not flow through the bulk, but along the boundaries, only. They are of particular practical importance, since it is considerably more difficult, by ``conventional'' means, to affect…

We review recent developments in our understanding of the dynamics of strongly-coupled chiral $SU(N)$ gauge theories in four dimensions, problems which are potentially important in our quest to go beyond the standard $SU(3)_{QCD} \times…

The complete absence of isolated quarks reaching particle detectors after high energy collisions suggests that some physical mechanism generates resistance to their propagation in the vacuum. In order to reveal such a mechanism, we analyze…

We study (non-renormalizable) five dimensional supersymmetric field theories. The theories are parametrized by quark masses and a gauge coupling. We derive the metric on the Coulomb branch exactly. We use stringy considerations to learn…

We investigate consistency conditions for supersymmetric gauge theories in higher dimensions. First, we give a survey of Seiberg's necessary conditions for the existence of such theories with simple groups in five and six dimensions. We…

In this talk I give a preliminary account of original results, obtained in collaboration with John Ellis. Details and further elaboration will be presented in a forthcoming publication. We present a proposal for a non-critical (Liouville)…

We study the phase diagram of five-dimensional SU(2) gauge theories on anisotropic lattices with periodic boundary conditions. We locate a line of first order bulk phase transitions and second order phase transitions related to breaking of…

In this paper, we study uncharged, non-conformal, and anisotropic systems with strong interactions using the gauge-gravity duality by considering Einstein-Quadratic-Axion-Dilaton action in five dimensions. In fact, we would like to gain…

The light quark propagation in the confining vacuum, described by an (infinite) set of gauge-invariant vacuum correlators, is studied in detail. To keep gauge invariance at each step the system of light quark and heavy antiquark is…

Deconfined regions in relativistic heavy ion collisions are limited to small volumes surrounded by a confined exterior. Here the geometry of a double layered torus is discussed, which allows for different temperatures in its two layers.…

We describe higher-dimensional theories whose low-energy 4D descriptions contain larger gauge or global symmetry groups. As an example, we construct a Higgsless SU(2) x U(1) model of electroweak symmetry breaking. The 5D SU(2) gauge…
