Grand unification for mirror fermions
نویسنده
چکیده
The possibility of grand unification of the standard model (SM) with fermion spectrum extended to include mirror fermions is examined. SM gauge couplings do not automatically unify. SO(10) grand unification is studied with one intermediate scale. Renormalization group equations (RGE) for fermion Yukawa couplings and the scalar self-coupling are studied numerically at one and two loop level. Strong restrictions for mirror fermion masses are obtained assuming perturbative unification. Mirror masses much smaller than the tree unitarity bounds are required. In particular mirror leptons have to be around 50 GeV. Consistency of the mirror fermion model with LEP precision data is established. A direct search for single production of mirror neutrinos at LEP could exclude or confirm the GUT version of the mirror fermion model.

On Unification of Gravity and Gauge Interactions
Considering a higher dimensional Lorentz group as the tangent symmetry, we unify gravity and gauge interactions in a natural way. The spin connection of the gauged Lorentz group is then responsible for both gravity and gauge fields, and the action for the gauged fields becomes part of the spin curvature squared. The realistic group which unifies all known particles and interactions is the SO(1,...

Abstract: The left-right models provide an explanation for the parity asymmetry in the the Standard Model (SM). To further understand the origin of the left-right symmetry, we study a partial unification model based on SU(4)W×U(1)B−L which can be broken down to the minimal left-right model either through the Higgs mechanism in four dimensions or through the five-dimensional orbifold gauge symme...
متن کاملAnomalous Generation Numbers in SO(10) and Supersymmetric SO(10) Unification Theories
One of the interesting features in unification models and supersymmetric unification models is that the chiral states of quarks and leptons in a family including a right-handed neutrino can be fitted neatly into a fundamental spinor representation (f.s) of dimension 16 for the SO(10) gauge group. However, it is shown in this paper that such a fundamental spinor representation of SO(10) for Weyl...
متن کاملGrand Unification at about 4 Tev
Use of the AdS/CFT correspondence to arrive at phenomenological gauge field theories is dicussed, focusing on the orbifolded case without supersymmetry. An abelian orbifold with the finite group Zp can give rise to a G = SU(N) gauge group with chiral fermions and complex scalars in different bi-fundamental representations of G. The precision measurements at the Z resonance suggest the values p ...
متن کاملNeutrinos, their Partners and Unification
Efforts to unify group-theoretically the standard-model gauge interactions with the generation structure of fermions and their mirror partners should be accompanied with the unification of the corresponding gauge couplings. In this paper the possibility of such a unification is studied and conclusions on possible symmetry-breaking channels and scales, as well as on the fermion content of the th...
