Abstract

The coset spaces E8_8/SO(10)×\timesHF_F allow complex structures which can account for three quark-lepton generations including right-handed neutrinos. We show that in the context of supersymmetric SO(10) gauge theories in 6 dimensions they also provide the Higgs fields which are needed to break the electroweak and BL{B-L} gauge symmetries, and to generate small neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism.
