Stability of the Higgs mass in theories with extra dimensions

Abstract

We analyze the ultraviolet stability of the Higgs mass in recently proposed Kaluza-Klein models compactified on S1/Z2 or S1/(Z2× Z2'), both at the field theory and string theory level. Fayet-Iliopoulos terms of U(1) hypercharge are shown to be of vital importance for this discussion. Models with a single Higgs doublet seem to be generically affected by quadratic divergences.
