Gauge Unification in Supersymmetric Intersecting Brane Worlds
نویسنده
چکیده
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 string scale. In order to correctly reproduce the experimentally known values of sin θw(Mz) and αs(Mz) this relation leads to natural gauge coupling unification at a string scale close to the standard GUT scale 2 × 10 GeV. Additional vector-like matter can push the unification scale up to the Planck scale.

Hybrid Inflation in Intersecting Brane Worlds
Non-supersymmetric brane world scenarios in string theory display perturbative instabilities that usually involve run-away potentials for scalar moduli fields. We investigate in the framework of intersecting brane worlds whether the leading order scalar potential for the closed string moduli allows to satisfy the slow-rolling conditions required for applications in inflationary cosmology. Adopt...
متن کامل6 v 2 2 4 Fe b 20 04 Intersecting Brane Worlds – A Path to the Standard Model ?
In this review we describe the general geometrical framework of brane world constructions in orientifolds of type IIA string theory with D6-branes wrapping 3-cycles in a Calabi-Yau 3-fold. These branes generically intersect in points on the internal space, and the patterns of intersections govern the chiral fermion spectra. We discuss how the open string spectra in intersecting brane models are...
متن کاملThree-family supersymmetric standardlike models from intersecting brane worlds.
We construct the first three family N = 1 supersymmetric string model with standard model gauge group SU(3)(C) x SU(2)(L) x U(1)(Y) from an orientifold of type IIA theory on T(6)/(Z(2) x Z(2)) and D6-branes intersecting at angles. In addition to the minimal supersymmetric standard model particles, the model contains right-handed neutrinos, a chiral (but anomaly-free) set of exotic multiplets, a...
متن کاملModuli Stabilization for Intersecting Brane Worlds in Type 0′ String Theory
Starting from the non-supersymmetric, tachyon-free orientifold of type 0 string theory, we construct four-dimensional brane world models with D6-branes intersecting at angles on internal tori. They support phenomenologically interesting gauge theories with chiral fermions. Despite the theory being non-supersymmetric the perturbative scalar potential induced at leading order is shown to stabiliz...
متن کاملStatistics in the Landscape of Intersecting Brane Models
An approach towards a statistical survey of four dimensional supersymmetric vacua in the string theory landscape is described and illustrated with three examples of ensembles of intersecting D–brane models. The question whether it is conceivable to make predictions based on statistical distributions is discussed. Especially interesting in this context are possible correlations between low energ...
