String Embeddings of the Pentagon

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-05-04 v1

Abstract

The Pentagon Model is an explicit supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, which involves a new strongly-interacting SU(5) gauge theory at TeV-scale energies. We discuss embeddings of the Pentagon Model into string theory, specifically N=1 supersymmetric type IIa intersecting D-brane models, M-theory compactifications of G_2 holonomy, and heterotic orbifold constructions.
