“…It is known in e.g., Refs. [2,3] that the candidates for grand unified theory (GUT) gauge groups in four-dimensional (4D) theories are only SU (n)(n ≥ 5), SO(4n + 2)(n ≥ 2), and E 6 because of rank and type of representations, while the candidates for GUT gauge groups in higher dimensional theories are SU (n)(n ≥ 5), SO(n)(n ≥ 9), U Sp(2n)(n ≥ 4), E n (n = 6,7,8), and F 4 . Many GUTs have been already discussed in e.g., Refs.…”
