Extra Dimensions and Fuzzy Branes in String-inspired Nonlocal Field Theory

Florian Nortier (Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, CEA, Institut de Physique Théorique, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, France)

Particle physics models with extra dimensions of space (EDSs) and branes shed new light on electroweak and flavor hierarchies with a rich TeV scale phenomenology. This article highlights new model building issues with EDSs and branes, arising in the framework of weakly nonlocal field theories. It is shown that a brane-localized field is still delocalized in the bulk at a small distance from the brane position: fields localized on such distant fuzzy branes are thus allowed to interact directly with suppressed couplings. Directions for model building are also given: (i) with fuzzy branes, a new realization of split fermions in an EDS is presented, naturally generating flavor hierarchies; (ii) with a warped EDS, the usual warp transmutation of a brane-localized mass term is revisited, where it is shown that the nonlocal scale is also redshifted and provides a smooth UV cutoff for the Higgs boson mass. This framework is expected to have natural UV completions in string theory, but the possibility to embed it in recent UV complete weakly nonlocal quantum field theories is commented.
