Dynamical origin of low-mass fermions in Randall-Sundrum background

We investigate a dynamical mechanism to generate fermion mass in the Randall-Sundrum background. We consider four-fermion interaction models where the fermion field propagates in an extra-dimension, i.e. the bulk four-fermion interaction model. It is assumed that two types of fermions with opposite parity exist in the bulk. We show that electroweak-scale mass is dynamically generated for a specific fermion anti-fermion condensation, even if all the scale parameters in the Lagrangian are set to the Planck scale.

Chiral phase transition of bulk Abelian gauge theories in the Randall-Sundrum brane world

The chiral phase transition of strong-coupling Abelian gauge theories is investigated in the brane world. It is assumed that gauge boson propagates in an extra dimension, i.e. bulk gauge theories. The phase structure is analytically evaluated by using the low-energy effective theories. We also numerically solve the ladder Schwinger-Dyson equation for the full fermion propagator including Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitation modes of the gauge field. It is found that the chiral phase transition is of the second order, and the critical value of the coupling constant is obtained. The extra dimension has a large influence on the chiral phase transition for the Randall-Sundrum (RS) brane world. It is studied how the number of KK modes affect the chiral phase transition.

Structure of Chiral Phase Transitions at Finite Temperature in Abelian Gauge Theories

The mechanism of the chiral symmetry breaking is investigated in the strong-coupling Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature. The Schwinger-Dyson equation in Landau gauge is employed in the real time formalism and is solved numerically within the framework of the instantaneous exchange approximation including the effect of the hard thermal loop for the photon propagator. It is found that the chiral symmetry is broken below the critical temperature T for sufficiently large coupling. The chiral phase transition is found to be of the 2nd order and the phase diagram on the $T-α$ plane is obtained. It is investigated how the structure of the chiral phase transition is affected by the hard thermal loops in the photon propagator.

Dynamical Symmetry Breaking in Flat Space with Non-trivial Topology

We consider a four-fermion theory as a simple model of dynamical symmetry breaking in flat space with non-trivial topology, motivated from recent studies in similar considerations in curved space. The phase structure is investigated, by developing a useful formalism to evaluate the effective potential in arbitrary compactified flat space in 3- and 4-dimensional spacetime. The phase structure is significantly altered due to the finite volume effect in the compactified space. Interestingly, the effect works in different way depending on the boundary condition of the fermion fields. The physical interpretation of the results and its implication on the dynamical symmetry breaking phenomenon in curved space are discussed.
