Geometry of Rank Reduction
We introduce continuous Wilson lines to reduce the rank of the gauge group in orbifold constructions. In situations where the orbifold twist can be realised as a rotation in the root lattice of a grand unified group we derive an appealing geometric picture of the symmetry breakdown. This symmetry br...
