Dynamical Symmetry Breaking in Randall-Sundrum Background

Abstract

Characteristic features of dynamical symmetry breaking are investigated in Randall-Sundrum (RS) background. To study the influence of bulk fermion or bulk gauge field I consider a five-dimensional four-fermion interaction model and a non-Abelian gauge field theory as simple models where the chiral symmetry is broken down dynamically. Using a four-dimensional Lagrangian induced from the five-dimensional theory, I calculate the dynamically generated fermion mass and show how the extra dimension affects the chiral phase transition in the RS background.
