Merging gauge coupling constants without Grand Unification

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v3 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

The merging of the running couplings constants of the weak, strong, and electromagnetic fields does not require the unification of these gauge fields at high energy. It can, in fact, be the property of a general fermionic system in which gauge bosons are not fundamental.
