Abstract

Characteristic aspects of Dimopoulos-Georgi's mechanism for the hierarchy are investigated in a “semi-realistic” SU(5) model by employing the renormalization group method. The hierarchy is really generated in a “sick” theory by quantum resuscitation without any fine tuning of the coupling constants atM_W ≈ 10²GeV. It can also be realized in a “normal” theory by choosing the coupling constants suitably. In the latter case, the effective potential has two minima atX = 0 andM_G. Some suggestions are presented for constructing a realistic model.

Saving the axions in superstring models
1985, Physics Letters B
In the effective four-dimensional supersymmetric theories derived from the superstring theories, we investigate a possible way to evade the cosmological bound $ƒ_{a} ≲10^{12} GeV$ on the axion decay constant. A significant amount of entropy could be produced by the out-of-equilibrium decay of the Higgs field which is responsible for the breaking of the extra gauge symmetry at an intermediate mass scale M_I. The appearance of such a Higgs fiield is a general feature of the superstring models. We find that if the gravitino mass $m_{32} ∼1−10^{2} GeV$ and M_I∼10⁷−10¹⁰ GeV, the axions are diluted efficiently by the entropy production, and $ƒ_{a} ∼ O (10^{16} GeV)$ will still be acceptable.
Spontaneous compactification and chiral fermions
1985, Nuclear Physics, Section B
The question is addressed of which chiral fermions survive in spontaneously compactified solutions of the generalized Einstein-Yang-Mills field equations for higher even space-time dimensions. First, we study the allowed fermion representations of SU(N) which have no gauge or gravitational chiral anomalies in arbitrary even dimension and show how to find all such representations for the case of totally antisymmetric SU(N) tensors. Second, we look explicitly at monopole-induced spontaneous compactification in six dimensions; here, interesting chiral fermions in four dimensions do not occur easily but instead require highly artificial assignments of quantum numbers under the U(1) gauge group associated with the monopole. Finally, we consider instanton-induced spontaneous compactification in eight dimensions; for this case, we may readily obtain acceptable chiral fermions in four dimensions, including Georgi's three-family SU(11) model.
Left-right gauge symmetry breaking by radiative corrections in supergravity
1984, Physics Letters B
A supersymmetric SU(2)_L × SU(2)_R × U(1)_B−L gauge theory coupled to N = 1 supergravity is investigated. The scale of left-right gauge symmetry breaking is determined as M_R ∼M_Pe^−1/α by radiative corrections through the logarithmic evolution of soft supersymmetry breakings. SU(2)_L × SU(2)_R × U(1)_B−L may be embedded in SO(10) grand unification. Cosmological implications intrinsic to the present model are also discussed, which may give a constraint M_R ∼ 10⁹⁻¹² GeV.
