Gauge fields with respect to $d=(3+1)$ in the Kaluza-Klein theories and in the spin-charge-family theory

It is shown that in the spin-charge-family theory, as well as in all the Kaluza-Klein like theories, vielbeins and spin connections manifest in $d=(3+1)$ space equivalent vector gauge fields, when space with $d\ge5$ manifests large enough symmetry. The authors demonstrate this equivalence in spaces with the symmetry of the metric tensor in the space out of $d=(3+1)$ - $g^{\sigma \tau} = \eta^{\sigma \tau} \,f^{2}$ - for any scalar function $f$ of the coordinates $x^{\sigma}$, where $x^{\sigma}$ denotes coordinates of space out of $d=(3+1)$. Also the connection between vielbeins and scalar gauge fields in $d=(3+1)$ (offering the explanation for the Higgs's scalar) is discussed.


Introduction
The spin-charge-family theory [1,2,3,4,5] explains, starting with the simple action (Eq. (1)) in d > (3 + 1), all the assumptions of the standard model, as well as other phenomena, like the matter-antimatter asymmetry, dark matter appearance and others. In this theory the spin connection fields manifest in the low energy regime as the known vector gauge fields as well as the Higgs's scalars (and the Yukawa couplings), while in the Kaluza-Klein theories [6,7] vielbeins (or rather metric tensors) are usually used to represent vector gauge fields.
We demonstrate in this paper that in d-dimensional spaces with the symmetry of the metric tensor in (d − a e-mail: norma.mankoc@fmf.uni-lj.si 4)-dimensional space g στ = η στ f −2 [where (x σ , x τ ) determine the coordinates of the almost compactified space [8,9,10], η στ is the diagonal matrix in this space and f is any scalar function of these coordinates] both procedures -the ordinary Kaluza-Klein one with vielbeins and the one with spin connections (related to the vielbeins, Eq.(17)), used in the spin-charge-family theory ( [1,2,3,4,5] and the references therein) -lead in d = (3 + 1) to the same vector gauge fields. That either the vielbeins or the spin connections represent in symmetric enough (d − 4) spaces in d = (3 + 1) the same vector gauge fields is known for a long time [6,7,9].
This paper is to clarify the equivalence of representing in theories with higher dimensional spaces vector gauge fields either with spin-connections or with vielbeins, but it is also to show that expressing the gauge fields with spin connections rather than with vielbeins makes the spin-charge-family theory transparent and correspondingly elegant, so that it is easier to recognize that the origin of charges of the observed spinors, vector gauge fields, Higgs's scalar and Yukawa couplings might really be in (d − 4) space, and that this explanation might show a possible next step beyond the standard model.
Let us remind the reader that the vector gauge fields, which carry the space index m = (0, 1, 2, 3), as well as the spinor fields, both observed in d = (3 + 1), have in the Kaluza-Klein theories and in the spin-chargefamily theory all the charges defined by the symmetry in (d − 4)-dimensional space, while the (observed) dynamics of these fields is defined in (3 + 1) space 1 .
We present also the relation between the vielbeins and the spin connection fields for the scalar gauge fields -for the same symmetry of d-dimensional spaces (g στ = η στ f −2 in (d − 4)-dimensional space). While the vector gauge fields carry the space index m = (0, 1, 2, 3), the scalar gauge fields carry the space index (s ≥ 5). Scalar gauge fields, carrying the space index s = (7,8), manifest in d = (3 + 1) as the Higgs's scalar of the standard model, carrying the weak and the hyper charges (± 1 2 , ∓ 1 2 ), respectively [2,3,4,1]. Scalar gauge fields carry besides the properties defined by the space index (like there are the weak and hyper charges when the space index s = (7,8)) also the charges defined by the superposition of S st (superposition are determined by the symmetry of (d − 4) space).
There are spinor fields (and possibly also scalar gauge fields) which are responsible for curling (d − 4) space, forcing the space to manifest the required symmetry (Eqs. (5)- (8)). Consequently vielbeins and spin connections of (d − 4) space reflect this symmetry and correspondingly these spinors (or possibly as well scalar gauge fields) do not enter into the relation of Eq. (4) 2 .
Let us start with the action of the spin-charge-family theory [2,5,3,4,1]. In this simple action in an even dimensional space (d = 2n, d > 5) 3 fermions interact with the vielbeins f α a and the two kinds of the spinconnection fieldsω abα andω abα -the gauge fields of S ab = i 4 (γ a γ b − γ b γ a ) andS ab = i 4 (γ aγb −γ bγa ), respectively: here 2 If there are additional spinors, which do strongly influence the relation among vielbeins and spin connections, the spin connections are not any longer uniquely determined by the vielbeins, as demonstrated in Eq. (4). Then the symmetry of (d − 4) space might change further. It can happen, like in Ref. [8,9,10], that some of spinors stay massless after the break and the others do not, or like at the electroweak break when the symmetry of (d − 4) space breaks so that the weak and hyper charges break, keeping the electromagnetic charge unbroken [2,1,5,3,4], while some scalars gain constant values (called in the standard model the nonzero vacuum expectation values) independent of (3 + 1) space coordinates. 3 In the spin-charge-family theory d is chosen to be (13 + 1), what makes the simple starting action in d to manifest in (3 + 1) in the low energy regime all the observed degrees of freedom, explaining all the assumptions of the standard model as well as other observed phenomena [2,1,5,3,4].R The action introduces two kinds of the Clifford algebra objects, γ a andγ a , f α a are vielbeins inverted to e a α , Latin letters (a, b, ..) denote flat indices, Greek letters (α, β, ..) are Einstein indices, (m, n, ..) and (µ, ν, ..) denote the corresponding indices in (0, 1, 2, 3), (s, t, ..) and (σ, τ, ..) denote the corresponding indices in d ≥ 5: 5 . The action A offers the explanation for the origin and all the properties of the observed fermions (of the family members and families), of the observed vector gauge fields, of the Higgs's scalar and of the Yukawa couplings, explaining the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry, the appearance of the dark matter and predicts new scalars and new family to be observed at the LHC ([2,1] and the references therein).
The spin connection fields and the vielbeins are related fields and, if there are no spinor (fermion) sources present (both kinds of, the one of S ab and the one of S ab ) the spin connection fields are expressible with the vielbeins. In Ref. [5] (Eq. (C9)) the expressions relating the spin connection fields of both kinds with the vielbeins and the spinor sources are presented.
When the gauge vector and scalar fields in d = (3 + 1) are studied, with the charges originating in (d − 4)dimensional space, the denominator 1 d−2 must be replaced by 1 (d−4)−2 . One notices that if there are no spinor sources present, carrying the spinor quantum numbers S ab , then ω abc is completely determined by the vielbeins (and so isω abc if there are no spinor sources present carryingS ab ). Eq. (4) manifests that the last terms with δ e a and δ e b do not contribute when the vector gauge fields ω st m , (s, t) = (5, 6, . . . , d) and m = (0, 1, 2, 3), are under consideration.
We demonstrate in this paper, Sect. 2, that in the spaces with the maximal number of the Killing vectors ( [6], p. (331-340)) and with no spinor sources present (which would change the symmetry of (d−4) space), the vielbeins f σ m and the spin connections ω stm are in the Kaluza-Klein theories [7,6] related. We find, Eqs. (14,18): . When the vector gauge fields are superposition of the spin connection fields (A Ai m = s,t c Ai st ω st m ), the relations among the vielbeins and spin connections are correspondingly: f σ m = A τ Aσ A A m , as presented in Eqs. (20-23). Spinors, vector gauge fields and scalar gauge fields, manifested in d = (3 + 1) as dynamical fields, can be treated as weak fields, which do not influence the symmetry of (d−4) space. When these fields start to be strong the symmetry of the curled space changes. (Let us mention that, for example, scalar fields at the electroweak break do break the symmetry of (d − 4) space.) Since the vielbeins f α a and inverted vielbeins e a α (Eq. (3)) appear in the metric tensor as a product (g αβ = f α a f βa , g αβ = e a α e aβ ), also tensors of the vector gauge fields appear in d = (3 + 1) in the curvature R (d) as it is expected for the vector gauge fields, Eqs. (23,24,25): We demonstrate in Sect. 3 that also spin connection fields ω st s ′ (with the index s ′ from (d − 4) space, and accordingly scalar with respect to (3 + 1) space) are uniquely expressible by vielbeins, Eqs. (39,40), as long as the curled space has large enough symmetry. Consequently also the superposition of the scalar spin connection fields are expressible with the vielbeins.
2 Proof that spin connections and vielbeins lead to the same vector gauge fields in (3 + 1)-dimensional space-time We discuss relations between spin connections and vielbeins when space in (d − 4) demonstrates the desired isometry in order to prove that both ways, either using vielbeins or spin connections, lead to equivalent vector gauge fields in (3 + 1).
We point out that spin connections manifest (charges and properties of) vector gauge fields more transparently (and elegantly) than vielbeins 6 .
Let (d − 4) space manifest the rotational symmetry, determined by the infinitesimal coordinate transformations of the kind internal degrees of freedom of boson and fermion fields, and correspondingly: M st = E σ st p σ . One derives, when taking into account Eq. (6) and the commutation relations among generators of the infinitesimal rotations, the equation for the Killing vectors E σ and the Killing equation Let the corresponding background field (g αβ = e a α e aβ ) be All these support the idea that the origin of vector (as well as scalar) gauge fields might indeed be in higher dimensional space. 7 While L st act on coordinates, S st act on spinor fields, on vector gauge fields (they are superposition of ω stm , (s, t) belonging to (d − 4) space, m to (3 + 1) space) and on scalar gauge fields (they are superposition of ω stt ′ , (s, t, t ′ ) belonging to (d − 4) space), the charges of which originate in higher dimensional space and correspondingly S st act on their charges (which are the superposition of S st ). For example, S ab act on gauge fields [1] as follows: This leads to and (12) We have: Let us introduce the vector gauge field Ω st m (x ν ), which depends only on the coordinates in d = (3 + 1), as follows with 8 These gauge fields Ω st m are in the low energy regime weak in comparison with the fields which force the space to curl. The influence of these gauge fields and correspondingly of f σ m on the equations of motion of vielbeins and spin connections in the higher dimensional space can be assumed as negligible, as is the case for weak spinor sources (this is the usual procedure in problems in classical or quantum mechanics when weak perturbation is put into strong fields, this prosedure is assumed also in the Kaluza-Klein theories).
for which E σ st is equal to solving the Killing equation (8) if f is the scalar function of the coordinates. Let us put the expression for f σ m , Eq. (14), into Eq. (4) to see the relation among ω stm and f σ m . One finds (Eq. (9)) and taking Ω stm = Ω stm (x n ), as assumed above, it follows (after using Eq. (14) and recognizing It is therefore proven for the vielbeins Eq. (14), where in d ≥ 5 vielbeins solve the Killing equation (8), that the spin connections determine the gauge vector fields in d = (3 + 1). Statement: Let the space with s ≥ 5 have the symmetry allowing the infinitesimal transformations of the kind then the vielbeins f σ m in Eq. (9) manifest in d = (3+1) the vector gauge fields A Ai The relation between ω st m and vielbeins is determined by Eq. (17).
We have to express A Ai m = s,t c Aist ω stm using Eq. (17). Then it is not difficult to see that we end up with the relation leading to the equation The Lagrange function for these vector gauge fields follows from the curvature in d dimensional space R = R α βαγ g βγ , after using Eqs. (11,12) in the relation for Γ α βγ = 1 2 g αδ (g γδ , β +g βδ , γ − g βγ , δ ) and after taking into account this relation in the Riemann tensor where , δ denotes the derivative with respect to x δ ( ∂ ∂x δ ) and the parentheses require antisymmetrization of the two indexes.
For a flat four dimensional space (R (4) = 0) it follows for the curvature ( [6], Eq. (10.41)) where R (d−4) determines the curvature in (d−4) dimensional space and f st s ′ t ′ s"t" can be obtained from the with E τ Ai defined in Eq.
Taking into account Eq. (6) one finds The expressions for f σ m are correspondingly Expressing the two SU (2) gauge fields, A 1 m and A 2 m , with ω stm as it is required in Eq.  10)), it follows after a longer but straightforward calculation that One obtains this result for any component of A 1i m and A 2i m , i = 1, 2, 3, separately. It is not difficult to see that the gauge fields, which are superposition of ω stm , (s, t) = (5, 6, . . . , d), demonstrate in d = (3 + 1) the isometry of the space of SO(d − 4), Eq. (9), with The space breaks into SO(3 + 1) × SO(d − 4) and f is any scalar field of the coordinates: while ρ 0 is the radius of the (d − 4) sphere and where A A m are the superposition of ω st m , demonstrating the symmetry of space with s ≥ 5. This illustrates the proof of the statement in the section 2.

Relations between vielbeins and spin connections for scalars
The spin-charge-family theory offers the explanation for the origin of the Higgs's scalar and the Yukawa couplings: The scalar gauge fields -the gauge fields of the charges described by the two kinds of the Clifford algebra objects [2,1], γ a 's andγ a 's, (Eq. (1)) -take care of masses of spinors after the electroweak break. We discuss here only the relation between vielbeins and spin connections for scalars the charges of which have the same origin as the charges of the vector gauge fields and only as long as (d − 4) space manifests the isometry presented in Eqs. (5)(6)(7)(8)(9) with the choice of f σ s = f δ σ s , Eq. (15), (which solves the Killing equation (8), if f is the scalar function of the coordinates x σ ). We do not include fermion sources which would change the symmetry of (d − 4) space, while f σ m are (in the low energy regime) weak fields. This section is only to point out the differences between the relation of spin connection -vielbeins for vector and scalar gauge fields.
Let us add that while the spin of the vector gauge fields in (3 + 1) determines with respect to the space index m = (0, 1, 2, 3) the SU (2) × SU (2) structure of their spin, the space index s of the superposition of the scalar spin connection fieldst,t ′ c Aitt ′ ω tt ′ s -manifests for s = (7, 8) the weak and hyper charges of the Higgs's scalar: (± 1 2 , ∓ 1 2 ), respectively. Superposition of the spin connection fields with the space indices > 8 take care of transitions from the matter to antimatter and back, contributing to the matter-antimatter asymmetry of our universe.
To find the relation between vielbeins and spin connections we need to express the curvature R σ τ στ ′ g τ τ ′ for (d − 4) space, where the Riemann tensor and Γ σ τ σ ′ for this space are in terms of vielbeins g στ = f σ s f τ s , which is in our case g στ = f 2 η στ , while g στ = f −2 η στ (, δ again denotes the derivative with respect to x δ and [ ] the anti symmetrization with respect to particular two indexes) and compare this expression with the corresponding one when R is expressed with spin connections (and with the vielbeins).
One finds that Γ σ τ σ ′ is for f σ s = f δ σ s equal to We take into account Eq. (4) and evaluate Eq. (36), obtaining We conclude: If f σ s = δ σ s f , where f = f (x τ x τ ), then both expressions for the curvature of (d − 4) space -the one with the metric tensor (Eq. 35) and the one with the spin connection (Eq. 36) -lead, as expected to the same expression where The result is valid also for the case that vielbeins and spin connections depend on the coordinates of (3 + 1) space: , (s, t, t ′ ) = (5, 6, .., d).
That spin connections and vielbeins lead to the same Lagrange density in (d−4) space, although as expected, contributes to better understanding how in the low energy regime, after the electroweak break, scalar fields expressed with spin connections ω stt ′ , t ′ = (7, 8), offer the explanation for Higgs's scalar and the Yukawa couplings [1,3].

Conclusions
In the Kaluza-Klein theories the vector gauge fieldsthe gauge fields of the charges originating in higher dimensional spaces -are represented through the vielbeins f σ m (Eq. (9)) or rather with the corresponding metric tensors (Eqs. (11,12)). In the spin-charge-family theory the vector gauge fields are expressed as superposition of the spin connection fields A Ai m = t,t ′ c Aitt ′ ω tt ′ m . This presentation offers an elegant and transparent understanding of the appearance of the vector gauge fields A Ai m , the charges of which originate in this theory (and in the Kaluza-Klein theories) in higher dimensional spaces, while dynamics is determined in (3 + 1).
Also the scalar (gauge) fields of the spin-chargefamily theory originate in higer dimensional spaces, offering the explanation for the origin of the Higgs's scalar and Yukawa couplings of the standard model -when the scalar gauge fields of both charges, S st andS st (Eq. (2)), are taken into account [1]. Their dynamics is (like in the case of the vector gauge fields) determined in (3 + 1). We discuss in this paper only gauge fields of S st for either vector or scalar fields.
We presented the proof, that the vielbeins f σ m (Einstein index σ ≥ 5, m = 0, 1, 2, 3) lead in d = (3 + 1) to the vector gauge fields, which are the superposition of the spin connection fields ω stm : f σ m = A A A m τ Aσ τ x τ , with A Ai m = s,t c Ai st ω st m , when the metric in (d − 4), g στ , is invariant under the coordinate transformations x σ ′ = x σ + A,i,s,t ε Ai (x m ) c Ai st E σst (x τ ) and s,t c Ai st E σst = τ Aiσ , while τ Aiσ solves the Killing equation (8): D σ τ Ai τ + D τ τ Ai σ = 0 (D σ τ Ai τ = ∂ σ τ Ai τ − Γ τ ′ τ σ τ Ai τ ′ ). We demonstrated for the case when SO(7, 1) breaks into SO(3, 1) × SU (2) × SU (2) that A,i τ Ai A Ai m = s,t S st ω stm and that the effective action in flat (3+1) space for the vector gauge fields is A Ak n , and f Aijk are the structure constants of the corresponding gauge groups.
The generalization of the break of SO(13, 1) into SO(3, 1) × SU (2) × SU (2) × SU (3) × U (1), used in the spin-charge-family theory, goes equivalently. In a general case one has A,i τ Ai A Ai m = * s,t S st ω stm , where * means that the summation concerns only those (s, t), which appear in τ Ai = s,t c Ai st S st . These vector gauge fields A Ai m , expressible with the spin connection fields, A Ai m = s,t c Aist ω stm , offer an elegant explanation for the appearance of the vector gauge fields in the observed (3+1) space. The proof is true for any f which is a scalar function of the coordinates x σ , σ ≥ 5.
We demonstrated also the relation between the spin connection fields and vielbeins for the scalar fields. While for the vector gauge fields the effective low energy ac- (The corresponding action is proportional to E d d−4 x R). Similar relation follows also for the superposition of the spin connection fields.
If ω st ′ σ depend on x m (x m are coordinates in (3 + 1) space), the scalar fields are the dynamical fields in (3 + 1), explaining, for example, after the break of the starting symmetry, the appearance of the Higgs's scalars and the Yukawa couplings [1,2,3,4,5].
All these relations are valid as long as spinors and vector gauge fields are weak fields in comparison with the fields which force (d−4) space to be curled. When all these fields, with the scalar gauge fields included, start to be comparable with the fields (spinors or scalars), which determine the symmetry of (d − 4) space, the symmetry of the whole space changes.
