Grand Gauge-Higgs Unification on $T^2/{\mathbb Z}_3$ via Diagonal Embedding Method

We study a novel six-dimensional gauge theory compactified on the $T^2/{\mathbb Z}_3$ orbifold utilizing the diagonal embedding method. The bulk gauge group is $G\times G\times G$, and the diagonal part $G^{\rm diag}$ remains manifest in the effective four-dimensional theory. Further spontaneous breaking of the gauge symmetry occurs through the dynamics of the zero modes of the extra-dimensional components of the gauge field. We apply this setup to the $SU(5)$ grand unified theory and examine the vacuum structure determined by the dynamics of the zero modes. The phenomenologically viable models are shown, in which the unified symmetry $G^{\rm diag}\cong SU(5)$ is spontaneously broken down to $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ at the global minima of the one-loop effective potential for the zero modes. This spontaneous breaking provides notable features such as a realization of the doublet-triplet splitting without fine tuning and a prediction of light adjoint fields.
