Abstract: (Elsevier)
We consider six-dimensional supergravity with gauge group SO(10)×U(1)A , compactified on the orbifold T2/Z2 . Three quark–lepton generations arise as zero modes of a bulk 16 -plet due to magnetic flux of the anomalous U(1)A . Boundary conditions at the four fixed points break SO(10) to subgroups whose intersection is the Standard Model gauge group. The gauge and Higgs sector consist of “split” SO(10) multiplets. As a consequence of the U(1)A flux, squarks and sleptons are much heavier than gauge bosons, Higgs bosons, gauginos and higgsinos. We thus obtain a picture similar to “split supersymmetry”. The flavor structure of the quark and lepton mass matrices is determined by the symmetry breaking at the orbifold fixed points.Note:
