Higgs–Matter Splitting in Quasi–Realistic Orbifold String GUTs
نویسنده
چکیده
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 vector, which is used in the quasi-realistic models, is demonstrated in several cases. As a result matter states in the spinorial 16 representation of SO(10) arise from the twisted sectors, whereas the Higgs states arise from the untwisted sector. Possible additional phenomenological implications of this E6 symmetry breaking pattern are discussed. ∗E-mail address: [email protected]

Standard SUSY-GUTs such as those based on SU(5) or SO(10) lead to predictions for the values of αs and sin θW in amazing agreement with experiment. In this article we investigate how these models may be obtained from string theory, thus bringing them into the only known consistent framework for quantum gravity. String models with matter in standard GUT representations require the realization of...
متن کاملThree Family Models from the Heterotic String
In this talk I outline work done in collaboration with R.J. Zhang and T. Kobayashi. We show how to construct the equivalent of three family orbifold GUTs in five dimensions from the heterotic string. I focus on one particular model with E(6) gauge symmetry in 5D, the third family and Higgs doublet coming from the 5D bulk and the first two families living on 4D SO(10) branes. Note the E(6) 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 کاملSUSY GUT Model Building
I discuss an evolution of SUSY GUT model building, starting with the construction of 4d GUTs, to orbifold GUTs and finally to orbifold GUTs within the heterotic string. This evolution is an attempt to obtain realistic string models, perhaps relevant for the LHC. This review is in memory of the sudden loss of Julius Wess, a leader in the field, who will be sorely missed. PACS. PACS-key discribin...
