We show that the desirable weak mixing angle sin^2 theta_W = 0.2312 at m_Z scale can be generated naturally in the SU(3)_C times SU(3) model on M^4 times S^1 / (Z_2 times Z_2') where the gauge symmetry SU(3) is broken down to SU(2)_L times…

We calculate the gauge couplings in the dual standard model. These values are consistent with an associated GeV mass scale, and predict the weak mixing angle to be ${\sin^2 \theta_w} (M_Z) \sim 0.22$.
The weak mixing angle $s_W$ is a fundamental constant in the Standard Model (SM) and measured at the $Z$ boson mass to be $\widehat{s}^2_W(m_Z) = 0.23129 \pm 0.00004$ in the $\overline{\rm MS}$ renormalization scheme, where $m_Z=91.2\…
