Gauge Unification via Stable Brane Recombination
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the transition between parallel and intersecting branes on a torus. Spontaneous symmetry breaking of nonabelian gauge symmetry is understood as brane separation, and a more general intermediate deformation is discussed. We argue that there exists supersymmetry preserving transition and we can always have parallel branes as a final state. The transition is interpreted due to dynamics of the Fand D-string junctions and their generalization to (F, Dp) bound states. The gauge group and coupling unification is achieved, also as a result of supersymmetry. From the tadpole cancelation condition, we naturally have intersecting brane models as broken phases of Type I theory with SO(32) gauge group.

Intersecting Brane World From Type I Compactification
We elaborate that general intersecting brane models on orbifolds are obtained from type I string compactifications and their T -duals. Symmetry breaking and restoration occur via recombination and parallel separation of branes, preserving supersymmetry. The Ramond– Ramond tadpole cancelation and the toron quantization constrain the spectrum as a branching of the adjoints of SO(32), up to orbifo...
متن کاملGauge Unification in Supersymmetric Intersecting Brane Worlds
We show that contrary to first expectations realistic three generation supersymmetric intersecting brane world models give rise to phenomenologically interesting predictions about gauge coupling unification. Assuming the most economical way of realizing the matter content of the MSSM via intersecting branes we obtain a model independent relation among the three gauge coupling constants at the s...

We construct a minimal supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified model in 5 dimensions. The extra dimension is compactified on an S/(Z2 × Z ′ 2) orbifold which has two inequivalent fixed points. These are flat 4-dimensional Minkowski spaces: the visible and the hidden branes. By orbifolding, the gauge symmetry on the hidden brane is reduced down to the Pati–Salam gauge symmetry SU(4)×SU(2)L×SU(2)R. O...
متن کاملLow - Scale SU ( 4 ) W Unification
We embed the minimal left-right model SU(2)L × SU(2)R × U(1)B−L into an SU(4)W gauge group, and break the unified group via five-dimensional S /(Z2 × Z2) orbifolding. Leptons are fitted into SU(4)W multiplets and located on a symmetry preserving O brane, while quarks are placed onto an O brane where the symmetry is broken. This approach predicts sin θW = 0.25 for the weak mixing angle at tree l...
متن کاملBrane Actions and String Dualities
An effective action for the M9-brane is proposed. We study its relation with other branes via dualities. Among these, we find actions for branes which are not suggested by the central charges of the Type II superalgebras.
