The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

In higher dimensional gauge theory, dynamics of non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm phases induces gauge symmetry breaking through the Hosotani mechanism. Higgs fields in the four-dimensional spacetime are identified with the extra-dimensional components of the gauge fields. Basics of the Hosotani mechanism are reviewed, and applied to the electroweak theory. The Higgs boson mass and the Kaluza-Klein excitation scale are related to the weak W-boson mass.

  • Among them, the gauge-Higgs unification with extra dimensions [ref] produces brilliant dynamics of gauge symmetry breaking, called the Hosotani mechanism [ref] , with the Higgs particle as an extra-dimensional component of the gauge field: when adjoint fermions are introduced with periodic boundary condition (PBC) in gauge theory with a compact dimension, the compact-space component of the gauge field can develop a non-zero vacuum expectation value (VEV), which breaks the gauge symmetry to its subgroup spontaneously.
