Family Unification in Five and Six Dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In family unification models, all three families of quarks and leptons are grouped together into an irreducible representation of a simple gauge group, thus unifying the Standard Model gauge symmetries and a gauged family symmetry. Large orthogonal groups, and the exceptional groups E7 and E8 have been much studied for family unification. The main theoretical difficulty of family unification is the existence of mirror families at the weak scale. It is shown here that family unification without mirror families can be realized in simple five-dimensional and six-dimensional orbifold models similar to those recently proposed for SU(5) and SO(10) grand unification. It is noted that a family unification group that survived to near the weak scale and whose coupling extrapolated to high scales unified with those of the Standard model would be evidence accessible in principle at low energy of the existence of small (Planckian or GUT-scale) extra dimensions.

Structure of S and T Parameters in Gauge-Higgs Unification
We investigate the divergence structure of one-loop corrections to S and T parameteres in gauge-Higgs unification. We show that these parameters are finite in five dimensions, but divergent in more than six dimensions. Remarkably, a particular linear combination of S and T parameters becomes finite in six dimension case, which is indicated from the operator analysis in a model independent way. ...

We investigate the one-loop contributions to S and T oblique parameteres in gauge-Higgs unification. We show that these parameters are finite in five dimensional space-time, but are divergent in more than five dimensions. Remarkably, however, we find that a particular linear combination of S and T parameters, S − 4 cos θW T , becomes finite for six dimensional space-time, though each of these p...

Because of its structure and cultural, social and historical conditions, the country of Iran has various ethnic, religious, and racial types. On the other hand, as an element of large Islamic nation, Iran encounters various complex cultural conditions. The nature and the origin of unity and unification are the common points between these organs at both national and Islamic nation's level. In f...
متن کاملAll mutually unbiased bases in dimensions two to five
All complex Hadamard matrices in dimensions two to five are known. We use this fact to derive all inequivalent sets of mutually unbiased (MU) bases in low dimensions. We find a three-parameter family of triples of MU bases in dimension four and two inequivalent classes of MU triples in dimension five. We confirm that the complete sets of (d+1)MU bases are unique (up to equivalence) in dimension...
