Gauge-Higgs grand unification

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: |$SO(11)$| gauge–Higgs grand unification in the Randall–Sundrum warped space is proposed. Orbifold boundary conditions and one brane scalar field reduce |$SO(11)$| to the standard model symmetry, which is further broken to |$SU(3)_C \times U(1)_{\rm EM}$| by the Hosotani mechanism. In a minimal model, quarks and leptons are contained in a multiplet in 32 of |$SO(11)$| in each generation. Proton decay is naturally suppressed by a conserved fermion number.
