Family Unification in Five and Six Dimensions
In family unification models, all three families of quarks and leptons are grouped together into an irreducible representation of a simple gauge group, thus unifying the Standard Model gauge symmetries and a gauged family symmetry. Large orthogonal groups, and the exceptional groups E7 and E8 have been much studied for family unification. The main theoretical difficulty of family unification is...
متن کاملGauge Unification In Six Dimensions
We study the breaking of a supersymmetric SO(10) GUT in 6 dimensions by orbifold compactification. In 4 dimensions we obtain a N=1 supersymmetric theory with the standard model gauge group enlarged by an additional U(1) symmetry. The 4-dimensional gauge symmetry is obtained as intersection of the Pati-Salam and the Georgi-Glashow subgroups of SO(10), which appear as unbroken subgroups in the tw...
متن کاملGauge-higgs Unification in Six Dimensions
Motivated by the pressing problem of the “little hierachies”, the possibility of realizing a consistent model of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking via the so-called “Gauge-Higgs Unification Mechanism” is discussed. We identify a class of 6 dimensional SU(3) gauge models in which a single Higgs doublet originates from the internal components of the gauge fields. The Higgs mass is beautifoully predic...
متن کاملGauge Coupling Unification in Six Dimensions
We compute the one-loop gauge couplings in six-dimensional non-Abelian gauge theories on the T /Z2 orbifold with general GUT breaking boundary conditions. For concreteness, we apply the obtained general formulae to the gauge coupling running in a 6D SO(10) orbifold GUT where the GUT group is broken down to the standard model gauge group up to an extra U(1). We find that the one-loop corrections...
متن کاملExceptional Coset Spaces and Unification in Six Dimensions
The coset spaces E8/SO(10)×HF allow complex structures which can account for three quark-lepton generations including right-handed neutrinos. We show that in the context of supersymmetric SO(10) gauge theories in 6 dimensions they also provide the Higgs fields which are needed to break the electroweak and B − L gauge symmetries, and to generate small neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism. Th...
