heal.abstract	Lattice simulations of five-dimensional gauge theories on an orbifoldrevealed that there is spontaneous symmetry breaking. Some of theextra-dimensional components of the gauge field play the role of a Higgs fieldand some of the four-dimensional components become massive gauge bosons. Theeffect is confirmed by computing the Coleman-Weinberg potential with a cutoff.We compare the results of this	en
