Phys. Rev. Lett. 55, 2932–2934 (1985)Geometric symmetry breakingReceived 1 November 1985; published in the issue dated 30 December 1985 The spontaneous symmetry breaking in higher-dimensional unified field theories is discussed in a general setting. A purely geometric symmetry-breaking mechanism involving no free parameters is presented, in which the symmetry is broken by the higher-dimensional metric through Einstein’s equation. © 1985 The American Physical Society URL:
