Abstract

Recently it was demonstrated that free fermionic heterotic strings can produce models with solely the minimal supersymmetric standard model states in the low energy spectrum. This unprecedented result provides further strong evidence for the possibility that the true string vacuum shares some of the properties of the free fermionic models. Past free fermionic models have focused on several possible unbroken observable SO(10) subgroups at the string scale, which include the flipped SU(5) (FSU5), the Pati-Salam (PS) string models, and the string standard-like models (SLM). We extend this study to include the case in which the SO(10) symmetry is broken to the left-right symmetric (LRS) gauge group, SO(10){yields}SU(3){sub C}xU(1){sub B-L}xSU(2){sub L}xSU(2){sub R}. We present several models of this type and discuss their phenomenological features. The most striking new outcome of the LRS string models, in contrast with the case of the FSU5, the PS, and the SLM string models, is that they can produce effective field theories that are free of Abelian anomalies. We discuss the distinction between the two types of free fermionic models which result in the presence, or absence, of an anomalous U(1). As a counterexample we also present a LRS model that does contain an anomalous U(1).more »« less

SU(3){sub C}xSU(3){sub L}xU(1){sub X} gauge symmetry from SU(4){sub PS}xSU(4){sub L+R}

Journal Article Sen, Sutapa ; Dixit, Aparna - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We consider an extension of the standard model gauge symmetry to a local gauge group SU(3){sub C}xSU(3){sub L}xU(1){sub X} which is a subgroup of SU(4){sub PS}xSU(4){sub L+R}. The symmetry breaking pattern is SU(4){yields}SU(3)xU(1) for both weak SU(4){sub L+R} and strong Pati-Salam SU(4){sub PS} group. The SU(3){sub C}xU(1){sub B-L}xSU(3){sub L}xU(1){sub Y1} (3-3-1-1) local gauge symmetry breaks to SU(3){sub C}xSU(3){sub L}xU(1){sub X} and generates a 3-3-1 model with three-generation, anomaly-free fermions which transform as bifundamentals of (3-3-1-1). The 3-3-1 model is of Pleitez-Frampton type but SU(3){sub L} gauge bosons (B-L=0) do not include bilepton gauge boson. The neutral gauge bosons include {gamma},Z,Z{supmore »« less

SU(5) and SO(10) models from F-theory with natural Yukawa couplings

Journal Article Tianjun, Li - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We construct the SU(5) and SO(10) models from F-theory. Turning on the U(1) fluxes, we can break the SU(5) gauge symmetry down to the standard model (SM) gauge symmetry, and break the SO(10) gauge symmetry down to the SU(3){sub C}xSU(2){sub L}xSU(2){sub R}xU(1){sub B-L} gauge symmetry. In particular, all the SM fermion Yukawa couplings preserve the enhanced U(1){sub a}xU(1){sub b} gauge or global symmetries at the triple intersections of the SM fermion and Higgs curves. And the SM fermion masses and mixings can be generated in the presence of background fluxes. In our models, the doublet-triplet splitting problem can be solvedmore »« less

SO(10) domain-wall brane models

Journal Article Thompson, Jayne E ; Volkas, Raymond R - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We construct domain-wall brane models based on the grand-unification group SO(10), generalizing the SU(5) model of Davies, George, and Volkas. Motivated by the Dvali-Shifman proposal for the dynamical localization of gauge bosons, the SO(10) symmetry is spontaneously broken inside the wall. We present two scenarios: in the first, the unbroken subgroup inside the wall is SU(5)xU(1){sub X}, and in the second it is the left-right symmetry group SU(3)xSU(2){sub L}xSU(2){sub R}xU(1){sub B-L}. In both cases we demonstrate that the phenomenologically-correct fermion zero modes can be localized to the wall, and we briefly discuss how the symmetry-breaking dynamics may be extended tomore »« less

Flavor unification, dark matter, proton decay, and other observable predictions with low-scale S{sub 4} symmetry

Journal Article Parida, Mina K ; Sahu, Pradip K ; Bora, Kalpana - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We show how gauge coupling unification is successfully implemented through nonsupersymmetric grand unified theory, SO(10)xG{sub f}(G{sub f}=S{sub 4},SO(3){sub f},SU(3){sub f}), using a low-scale flavor-symmetric model of the type SU(2){sub L}xU(1){sub Y}xSU(3){sub C}xS{sub 4} recently proposed by Hagedorn, Lindner, and Mohapatra, while assigning matter-parity discrete symmetry for the dark matter stability. For gauge coupling unification in the single-step-breaking case, we show that a color-octet fermion and a hyperchargeless weak triplet fermionic dark matter are the missing particles needed to complete its minimal supersymmetric standard model-equivalent degrees of freedom. When these are included, the model automatically predicts the nonsupersymmetric grand unification withmore »« less

Heterotic orbifolds

Thesis/Dissertation Giedt, Joel

A review of orbifold geometry is given, followed by a review of the construction of four-dimensional heterotic string models by compactification on a six-dimensional Z ₃ orbifold. Particular attention is given to the details of the transition from a classical theory to a first-quantized theory. Subsequently, a discussion is given of the systematic enumeration of all standard-like three generation models subject to certain limiting conditions. it is found that the complete set is described by 192 models, with only five possibilities for the hidden sector gauge group. It is argued that only four of the hidden sector gauge groups aremore »« less
