Grand Unified Theory on Interval −

چکیده
We investigate a construction of five-dimensional (5D) grand unified theories (GUTs) on an interval, which we call iGUTs. We analyze supersymmetric SO(10) iGUT as an example, where the gauge multiplet is spread over the 5D bulk. The SO(10) is directly reduced to the standard model gauge symmetry through the interval boundary conditions. Notice that this rank reduction is impossible in case of GUTs on orbifolds. Four scenarios are possible according to locations (bulk or brane) of Higgs and matter fields. We also show a construction of interval boundary conditions by introducing non-dynamical Higgs fields on the brane and taking their vacuum expectation values to infinity. We show how spectra and boundary conditions of bulk fields change in this limit. Suitable SO(10)-breaking interval boundary conditions can be realized by this construction. Finally we comment on a model in a warped background setup.

Gravitational corrections to fermion masses in grand unified theories
There are several hints that the strong and electroweak forces unify at some very large energy typically assumed to be at around 10 GeV. The quantum fields of the standard model fit nicely into simple representations of a grand unified theory [1] such as e.g. SUð5Þ or SOð10Þ. The idea of unification is extremely attractive for several reasons. For example, a grand unification drastically reduce...
متن کاملGauge Coupling Unification from Unified Theories in Higher Dimensions
A two-stage framework for unification is proposed involving grand unification, supersymmetry and extra dimensions, leading to a prediction for the strong gauge coupling, αKK s = 0.118±0.004±0.003, which is more successful and precise than that obtained from conventional supersymmetric grand unification, αSGUT s = 0.130 ± 0.004 ± ∆SGUT. Orbifold breaking of the unified gauge group leads to a non...
متن کاملTemporary Grand Unified Theory in Unphysical World
Recently, a grand unification scenario in unphysical world has been proposed.1) The basic idea is as follows. Fields form multiplets under a unified gauge group and the gauge coupling unification originates from the gauge symmetry at a high-energy scale, as ordinary grand unified theories (GUTs).2), 3) Some members in multiples, however, are unphysical degrees of freedom, which are eliminated b...
