Description

We discuss the possibility that the electro-weak and strong interactions arise as the low energy effective description of branes in M-theory. As a step towards constructing such a model we show how one can naturally obtain SU(N1)XSU(N2)XU(1) gauge theories from branes, including matter in the bi-fundamental representation of SU(N1)XSU(N2) which are fractionally charged under U(1).
