Abstract

We consider the 5D gauge unification of SU(2)L×U(1)YSU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y into SU(3)WSU(3)_W at a TeV scale. Compactification of the extra dimension on an orbifold S1/(Z2×Z2)S^1/(Z_2\times Z'_2) allows fixed points where SU(2)L×U(1)YSU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y representations can be assigned. We explain the long proton lifetime and the top-bottom mass hierarchy and etc. geometrically. We also show that local gauge anomalies on the orbifold can be exactly cancelled by a 5D Chern-Simons term with a jumping coefficient.
