abstract

We examine recent claims of a large set of flux compactification solutions of string theory. We conclude that the arguments for AdS solutions are plausible. The analysis of meta-stable dS solutions inevitably leads to situations where long distance effective field theory breaks down. We then examine whether these solutions are likely to lead to a description of the real world. We conclude that one must invoke a strong version of the anthropic principle. We explain why it is likely that this leads to a prediction of low energy supersymmetry breaking, but that many features of anthropically selected flux compactifications are likely to disagree with experiment.

Five dimensional $SU(5) \times U(1)_{\rm PQ}$ grand unification

hep-ph · 2024-12-20 · conditional · novelty 5.0

The authors propose a 5D SU(5) x U(1)_PQ orbifold model in which SU(5) breaking and a high-quality QCD axion from the fifth component of the U(1) field arise from the same boundary conditions, with intermediate-scale fermions enabling gauge coupling unification.
