Proton stability in grand unified theories, in strings and in branes

TL;DR: A broad overview of the current status of proton stability in unified models of particle interactions is given which includes non-supersymmetric unification, SUSY and SUGRA unified models, unification based on extra dimensions, and string-M-theory models as mentioned in this paper.

Supersymmetric standard model spectra from RCFT orientifolds

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present supersymmetric, tadpole-free d = 4, N = 1 orientifold vacua with a three family chiral fermion spectrum that is identical to that of the standard model.

String derived MSSM and M-theory Unification

TL;DR: In this paper, the Fayet-Iliopoulos conjecture of possible equivalence between the string scale M S and the minimal supersymmetric standard model unification scale M U ≈ 2.5×10 16 GeV is considered in the context of string models.

Vacuum configurations for superstrings

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied candidate vacuum configurations in ten-dimensional O(32) and E 8 × E 8 supergravity and superstring theory that have unbroken N = 1 supersymmetry in four dimensions.

Strings on orbifolds

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered string propagation on the quotient of a flat torus by a discrete group and obtained an exactly soluble and more or less realistic method of string compactification.

Comparison of grand unified theories with electroweak and strong coupling constants measured at LEP

TL;DR: In this paper, the DELPHI Collaboration data was used to show that in the minimal non-supersymmetric standard model with one Higgs doublet a single unification point is excluded by more than 7 standard deviations.

New Heterotic String Theories in Uncompactified Dimensions < 10

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that infinitely many heterotic string theories exist in uncompactified dimensions less than 10, that are one-loop finite (for massless external legs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Four-dimensional superstrings

TL;DR: In this article, the authors prove that modular invariance and factorization ensure the presence of a massless graviton and the correct connection between spin and statistics, and also prove that the existence of the massless spin-3/2 state ensures the absence of tachyons and vanishing of the one-loop cosmological constant.
