DESCRIPTION:Motivated by the electroweak hierarchy problem\, we consider t
 heories with two extra dimensions in which the four-dimensional scalar fie
 lds are components of gauge boson in full space. We briefly explain the ba
 sics features of "flux compactification"\, i.e. compactification in presen
 ce of a background (magnetic) flux. In particular we recall how chirality 
 and symmetry breaking can be obtained in this context. More in details\, w
 e find and catalogue all possible degenerate zero-energy stable configurat
 ions in the case of trivial or non-trivial 't Hooft flux\, for a SU(N) gau
 ge theory. We describe the residual symmetries of each vacua and the 4-dim
 ensional effective spectrum in terms of continous and discrete parameters\
 , respectively. We numerically solve\, like exemplification of a low energ
 y effective field theroy approach\, the SU(2) case.\n\nhttps://indico.ific
