Abstract

Previous studies have shown how the three generations of the Standard Model fermions can arise from a single generation in more than four dimensions and how off-diagonal neutral couplings arise for gauge-boson Kaluza-Klein recurrences. These couplings conserve family number in the leading approximation. While an existing example, built on a spherical geometry, suggests a high compactification scale, we conjecture that the overall structure is generic and work out possible signatures at colliders compatible with rare decays data.
