Description

We study equivalence classes of boundary conditions in a gauge theory on the orbifold T2/Z3. Orbifold conditions and those gauge transformation properties are given and the gauge equivalence is understood by the Hosotani mechanism. Mode expansions are carried out for six-dimensional Z3 singlet fields and a Z3 triplet field, and the one-loop effective potential for Wilson line phases is calculated. (author)
