Abstract

Generalizing three-family chiral fermion conditions to Iac=(3+h)I_{ac}=-(3+h) and Iac=hI_{ac'}=h, with positive integer hh, we extend the landscape of three-family N=1{\cal N}=1 supersymmetric Pati-Salam models in a broader region. Differing from the former investigation with Iac=3I_{ac}=-3 and Iac=0I_{ac'}=0, we do not restrict that the aa stack of D6-branes must be parallel to the orientifold image of the cc-stack along one of the three two-tori. In this investigation, without the simple parallel construction, we find four new classes of supersymmetric Pati-Salam models that are allowed by the extended three generation condition with Iac=3,Iac=6I_{ac}=3, I_{ac'}=-6 and Iac=1,Iac=2I_{ac}=-1, I_{ac'}=-2 through the intersections of aa- and c/cc/c'-branes. Moreover, with the SU(2)LSU(2)_{L'} gauge coupling realized from SU(2)L1×SU(2)L2SU(2)_{L_1}\times SU(2)_{L_2} symmetry breaking, the canonical normalization requirement of the gauge kinetic term provides an alternative approach that can be imposed before the renormalization group equation evolution for SU(2)LSU(2)_{L'} gauge coupling. This turns out to be an effective mechanism to realize the string-scale gauge coupling relation, especially for the new supersymmetric Pati-Salam models with large gb/gag_b/g_a ratio. We show that this symmetry-breaking modified renormalization group evolution can highly suppress gb/gag_b/g_a, and finally realizes string-scale gauge coupling relations for the extended supersymmetric Pati-Salam models as well.
