Gauge-Higgs models from nilmanifolds

We consider the compactification of a Yang-Mills theory on a three-dimensional nilmanifold. The compactification generates a Yang-Mills theory in four space-time dimensions, coupled to a specific scalar sector. The compactification geometry gives rise to masses for the zero-modes, proportional to th...
