Metastable strings and grand unification
Wilfried Buchmuller
The structure of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics points toward grand unified theories (GUTs) where strong and electroweak interactions are unified in a non-Abelian GUT…
The Starobinsky Model from Superconformal D-Term Inflation
W. Buchmuller, V. Domcke, K. Kamada
We point out that in the large field regime, the recently proposed superconformal D-term inflation model coincides with the Starobinsky model. In this regime, the inflaton field do…
Local SU(5) Unification in 6D from the Heterotic String
C. Lüdeling
We present a six-dimensional T^2/Z_2 orbifold model which arises as an intermediate step in the compactification of the heterotic string to the MSSM. The orbifold contains two pair…
Local Grand Unification
Wilfried Buchmuller, Koichi Hamaguchi, Oleg Lebedev +1
In the standard model matter fields form complete representations of a grand unified group whereas Higgs fields belong to incomplete `split' multiplets. This remarkable fact is nat…
