SU(5) grand unification in extra dimensions and proton decay
Open accessAbstract
We analyse proton decay in the context of simple supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified models with an extra compact spatial dimension described by the orbifold S 1 /(Z2 ×Z ′ 2 ). Gauge and Higgs degrees of freedom live in the bulk, while matter fields can only live at the fixed point branes. We present an extended discussion of matter interactions on the brane. We show that proton decay is naturally suppressed or even forbidden by suitable implementations of the parity symmetries on the brane. The corresponding mechanism does not affect the SU(5) description of fermion masses also including the neutrino sector, where Majorana mass terms remain allowed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
