Abstract
We construct a six-dimensional gauge-Higgs unification model with the enlarged gauge group of E6 on S2/Z2S2/Z2 orbifold compactification. The standard model particle contents and gauge symmetry are obtained by utilizing a monopole background field and imposing appropriate parity conditions on the orbifold. In particular, a realistic Higgs potential suitable for breaking the electroweak gauge symmetry is obtained without introducing extra matter or assuming an additional symmetry relation between the SU(2) isometry transformation on the S2S2 and the gauge symmetry. The Higgs boson is a KK mode associated with the extra-dimensional components of gauge field. We also compute the KK masses of all fields at tree level.
