Chiral asymmetry for Kaehler-Dirac fields in Kaluza-Klein theories
Description
The problem of explaining the left-right asymmetry of Weyl fermions in Kaluza-Klein theories is reconsidered. Since one has no spinor fields on a typical Kaluza-Klein space m x G/H, we reduce the Kaehler-Dirac equation from M x G/H to M. This procedure yields a family of Weyl fermions of one definite chirality on M, which are all G-singlets. (orig.)
