Spinning squashed extra dimensions and chiral gauge theory from N=4 SYM

New solutions of SU(N) N=4 SYM on R4 interpreted as spinning self-intersecting extra dimensions are discussed. Remarkably, these backgrounds lead to a low-energy sector with 3 generations of chiral fermions coupled to scalar and gauge fields, with standard Lorentz-invariant kinematics. This sector a...
