Local Grand Unification in the Heterotic Landscape
We consider the possibility that the unification of the electroweak interactions and the strong force arises from string theory, at energies significantly lower than the string scale. As a tool, an effective grand unified field theory in six dimensions is derived from an anisotropic orbifold compactification of the heterotic string. It is explicitly shown that all anomalies cancel in the model,...
متن کاملLocal Grand Unification
In the standard model matter fields form complete representations of a grand unified group whereas Higgs fields belong to incomplete ‘split’ multiplets. This remarkable fact is naturally explained by ‘local grand unification’ in higher-dimensional extensions of the standard model. Here, the generations of matter fields are localized in regions of compact space which are endowed with a GUT gauge...

متن کاملDual Models of Gauge Unification in Various Dimensions
We construct a compactification of the heterotic string on an orbifold T 6/Z6 leading to the standard model spectrum plus vector–like matter. The standard model gauge group is obtained as an intersection of three SO(10) subgroups of E8. Three families of SO(10) 16-plets are localized at three equivalent fixed points. Gauge coupling unification favours existence of an intermediate GUT which can ...
متن کاملUnification in Quasi–Realistic Orbifold String GUTs
E6 grand unification combines the Standard Model matter and Higgs states in the single 27 representation. I discuss how the E6 structure underlies the quasi–realistic free fermion heterotic–string models. E6 → SO(10) × U(1) breaking is obtained by a GSO phase in the N = 1 partition function. The equivalence of this symmetry breaking phase with a particular choice of a boundary condition basis v...
