The gravitational corrections to the gauge coupling constants of Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories have been shown to diverge quadratically. Since this result will have interesting consequences, this has been analyzed by several authors from different approaches. We propose to discuss this issue from a phenomenological approach. We analyze the SU(5) gauge coupling unification and argue that the gravitational corrections to gauge coupling constants may not vanish when higher dimensional non-renormalizable terms are included in the problem.

We report on an attempt to solve the gauge hierarchy problem in the framework of higher-dimensional gauge theories. Both classical Higgs mass and quadratically divergent quantum correction to the mass are argued to be vanished. Hence the hierarchy problem in its original sense is solved. The remaining finite mass correction is shown to depend crucially on the choice of boundary condition for matter fields, and a way to fix it dynamically is presented. We also point out that on the simply-connected space S2 even the finite mass correction vanishes.

We review the recent work on the light-cone quantization of (1+1)-dimensional large N QCD coupled to adjoint matter. The spectrum of these models consists of glueball-like bound states which, in the large N limit, can be pictured as closed strings that cannot split or join. The pair creation (annihilation) inside the string is not suppressed even in the large N limit, giving rise to complex dynamics similar to that of genuine higher dimensional gauge theories. The mass spectra of such models exhibit an exponential growth of the density of states (Hagedorn behavior) and the absence of massless glueballs even in the case of massless constituents.

First, the Coset Space Dimensional Reduction scheme and the best particle physics model so far resulting from it are reviewed. Then, a higher-dimensional theory in which the extra dimensions are fuzzy coset spaces is described and a dimensional reduction to four-dimensional theory is performed. Afterwards, another scheme including fuzzy extra dimensions is presented, but this time the starting theory is four-dimensional while the fuzzy extra dimensions are generated dynamically. The resulting theory and its particle content is discussed. Besides the particle physics models discussed above, gravity theories as gauge theories are reviewed and then, the whole methodology is modified in the case that the background spacetimes are noncommutative. For this reason, specific covariant fuzzy spaces are introduced and, eventually, the program is written for both the 3-d and 4-d cases.

In this review we summarize the ongoing effort to study extra-dimensional gauge theories with lattice simulations. In these models the Higgs field is identified with extra-dimensional components of the gauge field. The Higgs potential is generated by quantum corrections and is protected from divergences by the higher dimensional gauge symmetry. Dimensional reduction to four dimensions can occur through compactification or localization. Gauge-Higgs unification models are often studied using perturbation theory. Numerical lattice simulations are used to go beyond these perturbative expectations and to include nonperturbative effects. We describe the known perturbative predictions and their fate in the strongly-coupled regime for various extra-dimensional models.
