A string model with SU(4) × O(4) × [Sp(4)]hidden gauge symmetry

Abstract: In the four dimensional free fermionic formulation of the heterotic string, a semirealistic SU(4) × SU(2) L × SU(2) R model is proposed with three fermion generations in (4, 2, 1) + (4, 1, 2) representations. The gauge symmetry of the model breaks to the standard gauge group using a higgs pair in the (4, 1, 2)+(4, 1, 2) representations. The massless spectrum includes exotic fractionally charged states with non -trivial transformation properties under part (Sp(4)) of the nonabelian 'hidden' symmetry. Finally th… Show more

“…In this section, we shall show that the glueball DM is very natural among composite DM scenarios [241][242][243][244][245]251,253,266, and dark gauge theories. The assumption of the existence of dark gauge sectors is indeed a reasonable answer to the problem of the ad hoc gauge group of the SM, since they may naturally arise in many contexts such as in string or grand unification theories [236,237,245,[255][256][257][258][259][260][261][262][263][264][265][266]. Here, we do not discuss their origin but rather the constraint on the dark gauge sector that could be imposed assuming the naturalness.…”

“…In this context, an additional Yang-Mills theory (YMT), which does not or very weakly interacts with the SM particles, is an attractive candidate, since the lightest particle of the spectrum is a glueball , fulfilling the conditions required for being DM [236][237][238][239][240][241][242][243][244][245][246][247][248][249][250][251][252][253][254]. This "dark" YMT may naturally be generated in grand unification frameworks [236,237,245,[255][256][257][258][259][260][261][262][263][264][265][266], and it is possible to experimentally detect them by observing the gravitational wave background [246,[267][268][269][270][271][272][273][274][275][276][277]...…”

“…Another set of three families and three anti-families arise from the untwisted sector. The hidden sector consists of nine 8-plets under each SO (8). In addition there exist a number of non-Abelian gauge group singlets.…”

“…However, the problem doesn't exist either if these states become massive at a high scale of the order of the heterotic string scale or if they become integrally charged modifying the hypercharge generator. Also, the problem can be solved constructing models containing a hidden gauge group [22] forcing the fractional charged states to form bound states [23]. Under the symmetry breaking (3) the following decompositions take place :…”
