Question for SU(5) x SU(5) string unification
Abstract
Here we ask if it is possible to have string unification in gauge group. We specifically investigate the weakly coupled heterotic string unification for the four couplings in this framework. We show that only a limited versions of with adjoint representation components at intermediated scales, between and (unification), are allowed. This is essentially due to the limitation in the parameter space to the gauge coupling constant related to hypercharge. Indeed, only the vanishing hypercharge decompositions of subgroup can help to this unification, namely, the fermion and boson triplets, , and the fermion and boson octets, . Thus, these intermediate particles are compatible with the so-called Adjoint . The triplets must live in TeV region and could be accessible at colliders while the octets must alive in very high energy scales. We also show that the non-SUSY unification scenario requires the introduction of an additional scalar color triplet, , at relatively low energies (GeV), and it may induce the proton decay.
