Anomalies in field theories with extra dimensions
We give an overview of the issue of anomalies in field theories with extra dimensions. We start by reviewing in a pedagogical way the computation of the standard perturbative gauge and gravitational anomalies on non-compact spaces, using Fujikawa’s approach and functional integral methods, and discuss the available mechanisms for their cancellation. We then generalize these analyses to the case...
متن کاملGravitational corrections to fermion masses in grand unified theories
There are several hints that the strong and electroweak forces unify at some very large energy typically assumed to be at around 10 GeV. The quantum fields of the standard model fit nicely into simple representations of a grand unified theory [1] such as e.g. SUð5Þ or SOð10Þ. The idea of unification is extremely attractive for several reasons. For example, a grand unification drastically reduce...
متن کاملGrand Unified Theories
In spite of all the successes of the Standard Model [SM] it is unlikely to be the final theory. It leaves many unanswered questions. Why the local gauge interactions SU(3)C × SU(2)L × U(1)Y and why 3 families of quarks and leptons? Moreover why does one family consist of the states [Q, u, d; L, e] transforming as [(3, 2, 1/3), (3̄, 1,−4/3), (3̄, 1, 2/3); (1, 2,−1), (1, 1, 2)], where Q = (u, d) an...
متن کاملHigher-Dimensional Unified Theories with Fuzzy Extra Dimensions
Theories defined in higher than four dimensions have been used in various frameworks and have a long and interesting history. Here we review certain attempts, developed over the last years, towards the construction of unified particle physics models in the context of higher-dimensional gauge theories with non-commutative extra dimensions. These ideas have been developed in two complementary way...
متن کاملGrand Unified Theories From Superstrings
I review how traditional grand unified theories, which require adjoint (or higher representation) Higgs fields for breaking to the standard model, can be contained within string theory. The status (as of January 1996) of the search for stringy free fermionic three generation SO(10) SUSY–GUT models is discussed. Progress in free fermionic classification of both SO(10)2 charged and uncharged embe...
