An SU(6) gauge-Higgs unification model on T^2/Z4 with rank-reducing boundary conditions yields two Higgs doublets from the gauge field, quark unification in a 15, and a vacuum with small electroweak breaking via the Hosotani mechanism.

abstract
We show a general formula of the one loop effective potential of the 5D SU(N) gauge theory compactified on an orbifold, $S^1/Z_2$. The formula shows the case when there are fundamental, (anti-)symmetric tensor and adjoint representational bulk fields. Our calculation method is also applicable when there are bulk fields belonging to higher dimensional representations. The supersymmetric version of the effective potential with Scherk-Schwarz breaking can be obtained straightforwardly. We also show some examples of effective potentials in SU(3), SU(5) and SU(6) models with various boundary conditions, which are reproduced by our general formula.

Models with rank-reducing discrete boundary conditions on $T^2/{\mathbb Z}_4$
An SU(6) gauge-Higgs unification model on T^2/Z4 with rank-reducing boundary conditions yields two Higgs doublets from the gauge field, quark unification in a 15, and a vacuum with small electroweak breaking via the Hosotani mechanism.
