Abstract
We apply the gauge theory on the M-4 x Z(2) geometry previously propos ed by Konisi and Saito to the Weinberg-Salam model for electroweak int eractions, especially in order to clarify the geometrical meaning of t he curvatures in this geometry. Considering the Higgs field to be a ga uge field along the Z(2) direction, we also discuss the BRST-invariant guage fixing in this theory.
