Orbifold SUSY GUT from the Heterotic String
نویسنده
چکیده
From the string partition function, we discuss the mass-shell and GSO projection conditions valid for KaluzaKlein (KK) as well as massless states in the heterotic string theory compactified on a nonprime orbifold. Using the obtained conditions we construct a 4D string standard model, which is embedded in a 6D SUSY GUT by including KK states above the compactification scale. We discuss the stringy threshold corrections to gauge couplings, including the Wilson line effects.

SUSY GUT Model Building
I discuss an evolution of SUSY GUT model building, starting with the construction of 4d GUTs, to orbifold GUTs and finally to orbifold GUTs within the heterotic string. This evolution is an attempt to obtain realistic string models, perhaps relevant for the LHC. This review is in memory of the sudden loss of Julius Wess, a leader in the field, who will be sorely missed. PACS. PACS-key discribin...
متن کاملThree Family Models from the Heterotic String
In this talk I outline work done in collaboration with R.J. Zhang and T. Kobayashi. We show how to construct the equivalent of three family orbifold GUTs in five dimensions from the heterotic string. I focus on one particular model with E(6) gauge symmetry in 5D, the third family and Higgs doublet coming from the 5D bulk and the first two families living on 4D SO(10) branes. Note the E(6) gauge...
متن کاملString vacua with flux from freely-acting obifolds
A precise correspondence between freely-acting orbifolds (Scherk-Schwarz compactifications) and string vacua with NSNS flux turned on is established using T-duality. We focus our attention to a certain non-compact Z2 heterotic freely-acting orbifold with N = 2 supersymmetry (SUSY). The geometric properties of the T-dual background are studied. As expected, the space is non-Kähler with the most ...
متن کاملZ12−I Orbifold Compactification toward SUSY Standard Model
The standard model (SM) with 45(+3) chiral fields is really remarkable. The big question in particle physics is, “How does this SM arise?” In late 1980s, there were attempts for standard-like models (which has three families with the gauge group SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)) 1 from the orbifold compactification of heterotic string. Recent attempts have been more ambitious but it is fair to say that a model...
متن کاملThree-family GUT models from heterotic orbifold on E6 root lattice
We construct three-family supersymmetric GUT models from heterotic string. We investigate compactifications on non-factorizable torus defined by E6 root lattice, which admits automorphism of Z3 × Z3. Interestingly some of the twisted sectors from the Z3 × Z3 orbifold on E6 root lattice have just three fixed tori respectively, and generate three degenerate massless states. We assume only non-sta...
