Addendum to Reconciling Grand Unification with Strings by Anisotropic Compactifications
Ben Dundee, Stuart Raby, Akin Wingerter
In a recent paper, by working in the orbifold GUT limit of the Heterotic string, we showed how one could accommodate gauge coupling unification in the "mini-landscape" models of Le…
On the string coupling in a class of stringy orbifold GUTs
Ben Dundee, Stuart Raby
In this short note, we examine the relationship between the string coupling constant, $\gstring{}$, and the grand unified gauge coupling constant, $\alphagut{}$, in a highly succes…
Reconciling Grand Unification with Strings by Anisotropic Compactifications
Ben Dundee, Stuart Raby, Akin Wingerter
We analyze gauge coupling unification in the context of heterotic strings on anisotropic orbifolds. This construction is very much analogous to effective 5 dimensional orbifold GUT…
Randall-Sundrum and Flipped SU(5)
Ben Dundee, Gerald B. Cleaver
In this letter, we construct a model based on a flipped SU(5) partial grand unified theory, within the framework of the Randall-Sundrum (RS1) proposal. Breaking of $\widetilde{SU}(…
Stringent Phenomenological Investigation into Heterotic String Optical Unification
J. Perkins, B. Dundee, R. Obousy +6
For the weakly coupled heterotic string (WCHS) there is a well-known factor of twenty conflict between the minimum string coupling unification scale, Lambda_H ~5x10^(17) GeV, and t…
Observable/Hidden Broken Symmetry for Symmetric Boundary Conditions
Ben Dundee, John Perkins, Gerald Cleaver
A 4-dimensional heterotic string model of free fermionic construction is presented wherein mirror symmetry breaking between observable and hidden sector gauge groups occurs in spit…
