Symmetry breaking in a five-dimensional SU(5) model
Description
Two-state symmetry breaking in a SU(5) model in a space with M4 x S1 topology is discussed. The scalar 24-plet is a component of a five-vector and acquires a nonzero vacuum expectation value at the quantum level. The vacuum differs substantially from that of the standard SU(5) model. Its orientation in the SU(5) space and absolute magnitude are fixed uniquely. The second stage of the symmetry breaking occurs on account of a five-scalar in the fundamental representation of SU(5) by means of the Weinberg mechanism. The small mass of the scalar SU(2) doublet is not explained
