A Novel Superstring in Four Dimensions and Grand Unification
Abstract
A string in four dimensions is constructed by supplementing it with forty four Majorana fermions. The central charge is 26. The fermions are grouped in such a way that the resulting action is supersymmetric. The energy momentum and current generators satisfy the super-Virasoro algebra. The tachyonic ground state decouples from the physical states. GSO projections are necessary for proving modular invariance. Space-time supersymmetry provides reasons to discard the tachyons and is substantiated for modes of zero mass. The symmetry group of the model descends to the low energy standard model group through the Pati-Salam group. Left right symmetry is broken spontaneously and the mass of the tau neutrino is calculated to be about 1/25 electron volt.
