TITLE: General formula of effective potential in 5D SU(N) gauge theory on orbifold
CONTACT: Tango
SPEAKER: Dr. Toshifumi Yamashita  (Kyoto Univ.)
ABSTRACT: We show a simple method to calculate the 1-loop effective potential of the Wilson line in the Hosotani mechanism. This method does not rely on a matrix representation, but depends on a group theoretical analysis. Thus it is available for more than 5 dimensional theories with any gauge symmetry. As an application, we show a general formula of the 1-loop effective potentials of 5D SU(N) gauge theories compactified on an orbifold, S^1/Z_2. We also calculate the effective potentials for some concrete models.
