Gauge Unification in Higher Dimensions
A complete 5-dimensional SU(5) unified theory is constructed which, on compactification on the orbifold S/(Z2 ×Z ′ 2), yields the minimal supersymmetric standard model. The orbifold accomplishes SU(5) gauge symmetry breaking, doublet-triplet splitting, and a vanishing of proton decay from operators of dimension 5. Until 4d supersymmetry is broken, all proton decay from dimension 4 and dimension...
متن کاملGauge-Higgs Unification in Higher Dimensions
The electroweak Higgs doublets are identified as components of a vector multiplet in a higher dimensional supersymmetric field theory. We construct a minimal model in 6D where the electroweak SU(2) ⊗ U(1) gauge group is extended to SU(3), and unified 6D models with the unified SU(5) gauge symmetry extended to SU(6). In these realistic theories the extended gauge group is broken by orbifold boun...
متن کاملGauge Coupling Unification from Unified Theories in Higher Dimensions
A two-stage framework for unification is proposed involving grand unification, supersymmetry and extra dimensions, leading to a prediction for the strong gauge coupling, αKK s = 0.118±0.004±0.003, which is more successful and precise than that obtained from conventional supersymmetric grand unification, αSGUT s = 0.130 ± 0.004 ± ∆SGUT. Orbifold breaking of the unified gauge group leads to a non...
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 کاملGrand Unification in Higher Dimensions
We have recently proposed an alternative picture for the physics at the scale of gauge coupling unification, where the unified symmetry is realized in higher dimensions but is broken locally by a symmetry breaking defect. Gauge coupling unification, the quantum numbers of quarks and leptons and the longevity of the proton arise as phenomena of the symmetrical bulk, while the lightness of the Hi...
