Unification of gauge, Higgs and matter in extra dimensions

Abstract: We consider the unification of gauge, Higgs as well as the matter fields in a 6D N = 2 supersymmetric SU(8) gauge theory. The gauge symmetry SU(8) is broken down to SU(4) × SU(2) L × SU(2) R × U(1) 2 in 4D through T 2 /Z 6 orbifold compactification, and the theory is reduced to 4D N = 1 supersymmetric Pati-Salam model. The electroweak Higgs fields as well as the third family of fermions are unified in the 6D N = 2 gauge multiplet. The 6D bulk gauge interaction provides both gauge and Yukawa interactions for th… Show more

“…In the case where the 4D symmetry is SO (10) Because of the bulk symmetry, the gauge couplings can be unified at grand unified scale as well as Yukawa couplings for third family. The numerical predictions are in good agreement with experimental data [17] and we have predictions for tan β and relations between threshold corrections for the supersymmetry breaking [22]. At the same time, the colored Higgs fields can be projected out by orbifold conditions.…”

“…We can easily extend the gauge-Yukawa unification to 6D N = 2 supersymmetric models on a T 2 /Z n orbifold [17]. 6D N = 2 supersymmetry corresponds to 4D N = 4 supersymmetry.…”

“…The SU(4) C symmetry unifying quarks and leptons is broken down to SU(3) C ×U(1) B−L by compactifying the extra dimension, y on a S 1 /(Z 2 × Z ′ 2 ) orbifold. (The breaking of gauge symmetry via orbifold compactification is very elegant and has been extensively used in the literature to build realistic models [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]). The remaining symmetry, U(1) B−L × U(1) I3R in our model in four dimensions (4D) is then broken down to the SM by using appropriate Higgs multiplets.…”
