00 2 Grand Unification in RS 1

چکیده
We study unification in the Randall-Sundrum scenario for solving the hierarchy problem, with gauge fields and fermions in the bulk. We calculate the one-loop corrected low-energy effective gauge couplings in a unified theory, broken at the scale MGUT in the bulk. We find that, although this scenario has an extra dimension, there is a robust (calculable in the effective field theory) logarithmic dependence on MGUT , strongly suggestive of high-scale unification, very much as in the (4D) Standard Model. Moreover, bulk threshold effects are naturally small, but volume-enhanced, so that we can accommodate the measured gauge couplings. We show in detail how excessive proton decay is forbidden by an extra U(1) bulk gauge symmetry. This mechanism requires us to further break the unified group using boundary conditions. A 4D dual interpretation, in the sense of the AdS/CFT correspondence, is provided for all our results. Our results show that an attractive unification mechanism can combine with a non-supersymmetric solution to the hierarchy problem. email: [email protected] email: [email protected] email: [email protected]

After recalling some elegant contributions of the late Freydoon Mansouri, we turn to neutrino physics and use a modicum of grand unification to relate quark and lepton mixing matrices. We advocate an expansion for the MNS matrix, à la Wolfenstein, and argue that in a wide class of models, θ13 is a Cabibbo mixing effect. Also the large neutrino mixing angles reflect the mass patterns of the righ...

We analyze the spectrum of the ultrahigh energy (above ≈ 10 9 GeV) cosmic rays. With a maximum likelihood analysis we show that the observed spectrum is consistent with the decay of extragalactic GUT scale particles. The predicted mass for these superheavy particles is m X = 10 b GeV, where b = 14.6

We compute the 4D low energy effective gauge coupling at one-loop order in the compact Randall-Sundrum scenario with bulk gauge fields and charged matter, within controlled approximations. While such computations are subtle, they can be important for studying phenomenological issues such as grand unification. Ultraviolet divergences are cutoff using Pauli-Villars regularization so as to respect...

Higgs multiplet in the vector-spinor representations of SO(10), i.e., the 144 + 144 multiplet can break the SO(10) gauge symmetry spontaneously in one step down to the Standard Model gauge group symmetry SU(3) C ×SU(2) L ×U(1) Y and a recent analysis has used such vector-spinors for building a new class of SO(10) grand unification models (hep-ph/0506312). Here we discuss the techniques for the ...
