Conformality and Gauge Coupling Unification
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been recently proposed to embed the standard model in a conformal gauge theory to resolve the hierarchy problem, and to avoid assuming either grand unification or low-energy supersymmetry. By model building based on string-field duality we show how to maintain the successful prediction of an electroweak mixing angle with sinθ ≃ 0.231 in conformal gauge theories with three chiral families.

Finite-N Conformality and Gauge Coupling Unification
In this talk I review some aspects of the idea that there is an infra-red conformal fixedpoint at the TeV scale. In particular, it is shown how gauge coupling unification can be achieved by TeV unification in a semi-simple gauge group.
متن کاملProton Decay in Teravolt Unification
Model building based on abelian quiver gauge theories gives models which resemble trinification, originally proposed with yottavolt unification. However, unification occurs in the teravolt range so proton decay must be completely excluded in the scalar sector. It is straightforward to accomplish this by a discrete symmetry which is a generalized baryon number B. Unlike in trinification, this is...
متن کاملQuiver Gauge Theory and Conformality at the TeV Scale
This review describes the conformality approach to extending the standard model of particle phenomenology using an assumption of no conformal anomaly at high energy. Topics include quiver gauge theory, the conformality approach to phenomenology, strong-electroweak unification at 4 TeV, cancellation of quadratic divergences, cancellation of U(1) anomalies, and a dark matter candidate.

متن کاملGauge Coupling Unification in Superstring Derived Standard–like Models
I discuss gauge coupling unification in a class of superstring standard–like models, which are derived in the free fermionic formulation. Recent calculations indicate that the superstring unification scale is at O(10GeV ) while the minimal supersymmetric standard model is consistent with LEP data if the unification scale is at O(10)GeV . A generic feature of the superstring standard–like models...
