Softening of SUSY flavor problem from asymptotically free bulk interactions
Kang-Sin Choi, Ki-Young Choi, Jihn E. Kim
Recently, it was pointed out that soft masses of the supersymmetric gauge theories with extra dimensions tends to a flavor conserving point, which is a desirable scenario in gravit…
Grand unification of flavor by orbifold twisting and
Jihn E. Kim
The grand unification of flavor(GUF) in extra dimensions is discussed. After reviewing the old GUF, I present a GUF model SU(7) in 5D with the recently popular field theoretic orbi…
A Quintessential Axion
Jihn E. Kim, Hans Peter Nilles
The model independent axion of string theory has a decay constant of order of the Planck scale. We explore the properties of this quintessence candidate (quintaxion) in the scheme…
A review of self-tuning solutions of cosmological constant
Jihn E. Kim
The self-tuning solutions of the cosmological constant is reviewed, with the emphasis on the recent attempts in extra dimensional gravity with a brane boundary.
Orbifolded SU(7) and unification of families
Kyuwan Hwang, Jihn E. Kim
A 5D SU(7) family unification model with two spinor representations of SO(14) is presented. The fifth dimension is compactified on . The orbifolding is used to…
Top-bottom mass hierarchy, puzzle and gauge coupling unification with split multiplets
Hyung Do Kim, Jihn E. Kim, Hyun Min Lee
A supersymmetric 5D SU(5) grand unification is considered. The SU(5) is broken down to by the assignment of the bulk field(s)…
