Scherk–Schwarz mechanism
text:
In theoretical physics, the Scherk–Schwarz mechanism for a field φ basically means that φ is a section of a non-trivializable fiber bundle which is fixed by the model. This is called a twist by physicists. Note that this can never occur in a spacetime which is homeomorphic to Rn, which is a contractible space. However, for Kaluza–Klein theories, the Scherk–Schwarz mechanism is a possibility which can't be neglected.
