SU(2) gauge theory in 5 dimensions — •Magdalena Luz and Francesco Knechtli — Bergische Universitaet Wuppertal, Deutschland

Extra-dimensional gauge theories with orbifold boundary conditions are a possible extension of the standard model if the extra dimensional component of the gauge field is identified with the Higgs.

We study an SU(2) gauge theory in 5 dimensions on an anisotropic lattice. We present results concerning spontaneous symmetry breaking and compactification on both the torus and the orbifold.
