Description

We study the prospects for constructing finite grand unified theories using softly broken N=2 global supersymmetry. The requirements that the supersymmetry breaking scale be of order 103-104 GeV and that the mixing between the observed light fermions and the mirror fermions present in N=2 theories be small (<=msub(W)), make it difficult to construct finite grand unified theories based on a large class of simple groups with a realistic symmetry breaking pattern.
