Towards a realistic D=6, N=2 Kaluza-Klein supergravity on the coset E7/SO(12)xSp(1) with chiral fermions
Description
An SO(10) GUT model with realistic left-handed chiral 16 fermions is obtained from the D = 6, N = 2 supergravity with matter and gauge couplings on the scalar coset E7/SO(12)xSp(1). The six dimensions compactify into (four-dimensional Minkowski space-time)x(two sphere S2) by a monopole on S2 without any fine-tuning for the four-dimensional cosmological constant. The monopole charge n (when positive) directly gives the number of generations of quarks and leptons. (orig.)
