Abstract

In orbifold family unification on the basis of SU(N)SU(N) gauge theory on the six-dimensional space-time M4×T2/ZmM^4\times T^2/Z_m (m=2,3,4,6m=2, 3, 4, 6), enormous numbers of models with three families of the standard model matter multiplets are derived from a massless Dirac fermion with a vectorlike representation [N,3]+[N,N3][N, 3] + [N, N-3] of SU(N)SU(N) (N=8,9N = 8, 9). They contain models with three or more than three neutrino singlets and without any non-Abelian continuous flavor gauge symmetries. The relationship between flavor numbers from a fermion with [N,Nk][N, N-k] and those from a fermion with [N,k][N, k] are studied from the viewpoint of charge conjugation.
