Abstract

The possibility that non-supersymmetric conformal field theories softly broken below 100 TeV may provide an alternative to conventional grand unification is explored. We consider a low energy theory presumed to be of this type arising from the Type IIB superstring compactified on a AdS5×S5/ΓAdS_5 \times S_5/\Gamma space whose gauge group and the particle content are severely restricted by the compactification process. We present an example of a resulting SU(4)c×SU(2)L×SU(2)RSU(4)_c\times SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R with three generations, which leads to coupling unification and a prediction for sin2θW.227sin^2\theta_W\simeq .227 and other phenomenology generally consistent with observations.
