M ay 2 00 5 Minimal string - scale unification of gauge couplings
We look for the minimal particle content which is necessary to add to the standard model in order to have a complete unification of gauge couplings and gravity at the weakly coupled heterotic string scale. Using the current precision electroweak data, we find that the presence of a vector-like fermion at an intermediate scale and a non-standard hypercharge normalization are in general sufficien...
متن کاملString Unification of Gauge Couplings with Intersecting D-branes
During the last years string compactifications with intersecting D-branes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 have been of particular interest to the string phenomenology community for their appealing Standard Model-like features such as chiral fermions , family replication and Standard Model gauge groups. From the model building point of view, having a low string scale scenario in mind, most effort went i...
متن کاملYukawa couplings and flavour symmetries in minimal gauge-Higgs unification
We discuss the possibility of introducing an SU(2) global flavour symmetry in the context of flat extra dimensions. In particular we concentrate on the 5-dimensional case and we study how to obtain the flavour structure of the Standard Model quark sector compactifying the fifth dimension on the orbifold S1/Z2 à la Scherk-Schwarz (SS). We show that in this case it is possible to justify the five...
متن کاملMinimal String Unification and Yukawa Couplings in Orbifold Models
We study the minimal supersymmetric standard model derived from ZN × ZM orbifold models. Moduli dependent threshold corrections of the gauge couplings are investigated to explain the measured values of the coupling constants. Also we study Yukawa couplings of the models. We find that the Z2 × Z ′ 6, Z2 × Z6, Z3 × Z6 and Z6 × Z6 orbifold models have the possibility to derive Yukawa couplings for...
متن کاملNatural Gauge-coupling Unification at the String Scale
We argue that moduli in the adjoint representation of the standard-model gauge group are a natural feature of superstring models, and that they can account for the apparent discrepancy between the string and unification scales. NSF-ITP-95-129 CPTH-S379.1095 October 1995 An important hint in favour of supersymmetric GUTs is the unification of gauge couplings extrapolated from their low-energy ex...
