Abstract

SO(11)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)SO(11) to the standard model symmetry, which is further broken to SU(3)C×U(1)EMSU(3)_C \times U(1)_{EM} by the Hosotani mechanism. In a minimal model quarks and leptons are contained in a multiplet in 32{\bf 32} of SO(11)SO(11) in each generation. Proton decay is naturally suppressed by a conserved fermion number.
