Group-Theoretical Aspects of Orbifold and Conifold GUTs
Motivated by the simplicity and direct phenomenological applicability of field-theoretic orbifold constructions in the context of grand unification, we set out to survey the immensely rich group-theoretical possibilities open to this type of model building. In particular, we show how every maximal-rank, regular subgroup of a simple Lie group can be obtained by orbifolding and determine under wh...
متن کاملGUTs on orbifold
We consider 5 dimensional E6, E7, and E8 supersymmetric grand unified theories (GUTs) on an orbifold S/Z2, in which the Higgs fields arise from the 5th components of the 5D gauge fields. We introduce matter fields in 5 dimensions, then the Yukawa interactions are induced from the gauge interactions among the 5th component of gauge fields and the bulk hyper-multiplets. The adjoint and fundamenta...
متن کاملProton Decay Signatures of Orbifold GUTs
In grand unified theories based on orbifold constructions in higher dimensions, Higgsinomediated proton decay is absent. However, proton decay mediated by X and Y gauge bosons is typically enhanced to levels detectable by current and future experiments. We analyse the phenomenology of proton decay induced by the minimal coupling of X, Y gauge bosons. In particular, we show that the novel realiz...
متن کاملHiggs Boson Mass From Orbifold GUTs
We consider a class of seven-dimensional N = 1 supersymmetric orbifold GUTs in which the Standard Model (SM) gauge couplings and one of the Yukawa couplings (top quark, bottom quark or tau lepton) are unified, without low energy supersymmetry, at MGUT ≃ 4× 10 GeV. With gauge-top quark Yukawa coupling unification the SM Higgs boson mass is estimated to be 135± 6 GeV, which increases to 144± 4 Ge...
متن کاملUnification in Quasi–Realistic Orbifold String GUTs
E6 grand unification combines the Standard Model matter and Higgs states in the single 27 representation. I discuss how the E6 structure underlies the quasi–realistic free fermion heterotic–string models. E6 → SO(10) × U(1) breaking is obtained by a GSO phase in the N = 1 partition function. The equivalence of this symmetry breaking phase with a particular choice of a boundary condition basis v...
