Abstract
Higher dimensional gauge theories lead, after dimensional reduction on coset spaces, to four-dimensional gauge theories usually with the natural emergence of a Higgs sector which is completely determined. However, the Higgs fields never appear in the adjoint representation which in many GUTs could lead to a successful spontaneous symmetry breaking towards the low energy gauge group. As an alternative we suggest that the breaking of the four-dimensional GUTs obtained from CSDR could be provided by the Wilson flux breaking and we discuss some semirealistic examples. We also speculate on the possibility that the breaking of the electroweak sector has dynamical origin.
