Gauge-Higgs models from nilmanifolds

Résumé

We consider the compactification of a Yang-Mills theory on a three-dimensional nilmanifold. The compactification generates a Yang-Mills theory in four space-time dimensions, coupled to a specific scalar sector. The compactification geometry gives rise to masses for the zero-modes, proportional to the twist parameter of the nilmanifold. We study the simple example of an SU(3) model broken by a non-trivial vacuum of the scalar potential which generates three mass scales, two being at tree level, and the third one at loop level. We point out the relevance of general twisted geometries for model building and in particular for gauge-Higgs type models, as the twist generates tree-level mass hierarchies useful for grand unification and for the Higgs sector in electroweak symmetry breaking.
