Higgs mechanism from fluxes and two mass hierarchies in the "fat" throat solution of Type IIA supegravity
Abstract
Spectra of Kaluza-Klein gauge fields are calculated at the background of the magnetic fluxbrane throat-like solution of the Type IIA supergravity equations. Magnetic flux plays the role of Higgs scalar generating the electroweak scale mass of non-abelian KK gauge field. The same "flux-Higgs" mechanism gives the scale of the "second mass hierarchy", 0.001 eV, in the spectrum of KK excitations at the background of the throat deformed in a Reissner-Nordstrom way. Gauge coupling constants in 4 dimensions are calculated; they prove to be of the physically sensible values for the EW scale massive modes of the gauge fields and are extremely small for the long range gauge fields. 5D effective Action with the flux-generated mass terms of the KK gauge fields associated with isometries of compactified subspaces is put down, correspondence of the "classical" KK approach and dual holography approach to the low-dimensional gauge theories is discussed, and idea of Bootstrap Holography is set forth.
