Finite-N Conformality and Gauge Coupling Unification

چکیده
In this talk I review some aspects of the idea that there is an infra-red conformal fixedpoint at the TeV scale. In particular, it is shown how gauge coupling unification can be achieved by TeV unification in a semi-simple gauge group.

Conformality and Gauge Coupling Unification
It has been recently proposed to embed the standard model in a conformal gauge theory to resolve the hierarchy problem, and to avoid assuming either grand unification or low-energy supersymmetry. By model building based on string-field duality we show how to maintain the successful prediction of an electroweak mixing angle with sinθ ≃ 0.231 in conformal gauge theories with three chiral families.
متن کاملProton Decay in Teravolt Unification
Model building based on abelian quiver gauge theories gives models which resemble trinification, originally proposed with yottavolt unification. However, unification occurs in the teravolt range so proton decay must be completely excluded in the scalar sector. It is straightforward to accomplish this by a discrete symmetry which is a generalized baryon number B. Unlike in trinification, this is...
متن کاملQuiver Gauge Theory and Conformality at the TeV Scale
This review describes the conformality approach to extending the standard model of particle phenomenology using an assumption of no conformal anomaly at high energy. Topics include quiver gauge theory, the conformality approach to phenomenology, strong-electroweak unification at 4 TeV, cancellation of quadratic divergences, cancellation of U(1) anomalies, and a dark matter candidate.

متن کاملCalculable Violation of Gauge-Yukawa Universality and Top Quark Mass in the Gauge-Higgs Unification
We find that the one-loop correction to the ratio of Yukawa coupling and gauge coupling in the gauge-Higgs unification, “gauge-Yukawa universality violation”, is finite and calculable in any space-time dimension. Applying this result to the ratio of top quark and W-boson masses, we show that the order one correction required to generate a viable top quark mass is indeed possible if the fermion ...
