Renormalizable extra-dimensional models
Renormalizable extra-dimensional models
Non-Abelian gauge theories may have continuum limits in more than four dimensions, supported by non-trivial ultra-violet fixed points. Moreover, such theories can be expected to be accessible to Wilson's epsilon expansion. We investigate this series for SU(N) Yang-Mills, in particular for the fixed point coupling and critical exponent nu, up to four loops. From the model-building point of view, such theories would be effectively perturbatively renormalizable in the normal way. A particularly attractive possibility is the construction of renormalizable extra-dimensional models of the weak interactions, which have the potential to address the full hierarchy problem. The simplest such gauge-Higgs unification model is however ruled out by a combination of theoretical and phenomenological constraints.

Abstract
Non-Abelian gauge theories may have continuum limits in more than four dimensions, supported by non-trivial ultra-violet fixed points. Moreover, such theories can be expected to be accessible to Wilson's epsilon expansion. We investigate this series for SU(N) Yang-Mills, in particular for the fixed point coupling and critical exponent nu, up to four loops. From the model-building point of view, such theories would be effectively perturbatively renormalizable in the normal way. A particularly attractive possibility is the construction of renormalizable extra-dimensional models of the weak interactions, which have the potential to address the full hierarchy problem. The simplest such gauge-Higgs unification model is however ruled out by a combination of theoretical and phenomenological constraints.
