Abstract
We propose a six-dimensional Universal Extra Dimensions (UED) model compactified on a real projective plane RP2, a two-sphere with its antipodal points being identified. We utilize the Randjbar-Daemi-Salam-Strathdee spontaneous sphere compactification with a monopole configuration of an extra U(1)X gauge field that leads to a spontaneous radius stabilization. Unlike the sphere and the S2/Z2 orbifold compactifications, the massless U(1)X gauge boson is safely projected out. We show how a compactification on a non-orientable manifold results in a chiral four-dimensional gauge theory by utilizing 6D chiral gauge and Yukawa interactions. The resultant Kaluza-Klein mass spectra are distinct from the ordinary UED models compactified on torus. We briefly comment on the anomaly cancellation and also on a possible dark matter candidate in our model.
