Gauge-Higgs Unification from the Heterotic String
We present a 6D orbifold model on T 2/Z2 which emerges as intermediate step in the compactification of the heterotic string to the supersymmetric standard model in four dimensions. It has SU(6) gauge symmetry in the bulk and two pairs of inequivalent fixed points with unbroken SU(5) and SU(2)× SU(4) symmetry, respectively. All anomalies are cancelled by the GreenSchwarz mechanism. Two quark-lep...
متن کاملGauge Coupling Unification in Realistic Free-Fermionic String Models
We discuss the unification of gauge couplings within the framework of a wide class of realistic free-fermionic string models which have appeared in the literature, including the flipped SU(5), SO(6) × SO(4), and various SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) models. If the matter spectrum below the string scale is that of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), then string unification is in disagreemen...
متن کاملHeterotic String Optical Unification
The lower limit to string coupling unification in weakly coupled heteroticstrings was shown by Kaplunovsky to be around ΛH ∼ 5 × 1017 GeV. Incontrast, under the scenario of an intermediate scale desert, the SU(3)C ×SU(2)L × U(1)Y ([321]) Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM)unification scale is ΛU ∼ 2.5 × 1016 GeV. Optical unification was proposed by Giedt as a ro...
متن کاملGauge coupling unification and light exotica in string theory.
In this Letter we consider the consequences for the CERN Large Hadron Collider of light vectorlike exotica with fractional electric charge. It is shown that such states are found in orbifold constructions of the heterotic string. Moreover, these exotica are consistent with gauge coupling unification at one loop, even though they do not come in complete multiplets of SU(5).
متن کاملGauge Coupling Unification in General Supersymmetric Models
We study the effects of additional fields on the unification of gauge couplings in supersymmetric models. We find that the effects are quite constrained by the requirement of SU(5) gauge invariance. In general, we find that any extension of the MSSM will form complete SU(5) multiplets or spoil gauge coupling unification.
