dc.descriptionFrom the quantum field theory point of view, matter and gauge fields are generally expected to be localised around branes or topological defects occurring in extra dimensions. Here I discuss a simple scenario where, by starting with a five dimensional SU(3) gauge theory, we end up with several 4-D parallel branes with localised "chiral" fermions and gauge fields to them. I will show that it is possible to reproduce the electroweak model confined to a single brane, allowing a simple and geometrical approach to the fermion hierarchy problem. Some nice results of this construction are: Gauge and Higgs fields are unified at the 5-D level; and new particles are predicted: a left-handed neutrino of zero hypercharge, and a massive vector field coupling together the new neutrino to other left-handed leptons.
