Concluding Remarks March 17, 2012 @ GUT2012 Taichiro Kugo, YITP
Higgs seems to be 125GeV This is a very interesting value, allowing SUSY, but with a small tension to the naïve realization • NMSSM(JEKim), Extra vector-like quarks (Iwamoto) • Difference with 100GeV suggested by the radiative corrections already implies the existence of new matters beyond standard model. • No direct evidence for superparticles: but Analysis may have been missing signals (Hagiwara) At the end of 1972, all experiments did not find Neutral Current Maskawa summarized ``Weinberg-Salam model is a very beautiful theory, but Nature did not adopt it, unfortunately” • May allow some mixture of SUSY and composite Higgs (Kitano)
We all believe in GUTs • The existence of GUT is bound to be correct. Anomaly cancellation or Tr Q = 0 between quarks and leptons. Also supported by tiny neutrino masses and gauge coupling unifications
Here I would like to discuss only How to understand problems of • Generations, i.e., chiral generations No promising ideas: enlarging GUT group – horizontal symmetry, Hodge numbers of CY manifold, orbifolds, …. • Dark energy or vacuum condensates
Generations: • Survival Hypothesis (Georgi) Quarks and Leptons are light (compared with Planck scale), because they are chiral (complex representation) with respect to the SM group SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) This beautifully explains why they exist, but it also pose a difficulty in naïve trials of Bigger GUT groups Higher dimensions to include generations Higher N SUSY vector-like (non-chiral )
Simple Groups do not work (naively) • SU(n), SO(4k+2), E6 allow complex rprs. But SU(n) with n>5, SO(4k+2) with k>2 have only real (vector-like) reprs wrt the subgroup SU(5) or SO(10). • E7 and E8have only real rprs. • Needs: orbifolding, or Kawamura mechanism complex structure for extra dimensions, CY Or simply, direct product horizontal symmetry (Mohapatra,Maekawa) other ideas? Quasi-NG-fermion
Quasi-NG-fermions • If spontaneous breaking of a global symmetry: G → H, then Nambu-Goldstone bosons appear for broken generators G/H at around MPlanck • If ∃SUSY, NG bosons are accompanied by massless spin ½ fermions, called Quasi-NG-fermions (Buchmüller-Peccei-Yanagida’87,Ong’83 ) • Kugo-Yanagida’84 three generations from E7/SU(5)×SU(3)×U(1)
Exceptional Groups: En Maximal: a priori Raison d'être superstring, … E8 248 ↓ E7 133 ↓ E6 78 ↓ E5 = SO(10) 45 ↓ E4 = SU(5) 24 → E3 = SU(3)×SU(2) N=8 SUGRA E7(7)
Suppose ∃E8 or E7 →E4 ×U(1)n E8 →E4 ×U(1)4 E7 → E4 ×U(1)3 E5 = SO(10) , E4 = SU(5)
Exceptional Groups: En E8 248 ⊃E7 ↓248-(133+1) = 56 +1 + h.c. → NG chiral multiplet 56 of E7 but any reprs of E7 are real 56 = 27+1+27*+1* → 0 generations E7 133 ↓ 133-(78+1) = 27 + h.c. →
Sequential Symmetry Breaking: En E7 133 ⊃E6 ↓ 133-(78+1) = 27 + h.c. → E627 E6 78 ⊃E5 ↓ 78-(45+1) = 16 +h.c. → E516 E5 = SO(10) 45 ⊃E4 ↓ 45-(24+1) = 10 +h.c. →E410 E4 = SU(5) 24
Appearing NG chiral multiplets E7 ⊃E5 ↓ → E627 = 16 + 10 + 1 = (10+5*+1)+(5+5*)+1 E6 ⊃E4 ↓ → E516 = 10+5*+1 E5 = SO(10) ⊃E4 ↓ → E410 = 10 E4 = SU(5)
Appearing NG chiral multiplets E7 ⊃E5 ↓ → E627 = 16 + 10 + 1 = (10+5*+1)+(5+5*)+1 E6 ⊃E4 ↓ → E516 = 10+5*+1 E5 = SO(10) ⊃E4 ↓ → E410 = 10 E4 = SU(5)
Appearing NG chiral multiplets E7 ⊃E5 ↓ → E6 27 = 16 + 10 + 1 = (10+5*+1)+(5+5*)+1 E6 ⊃E4 ↓ → E5 16 = 10+5*+1 E5 = SO(10) ⊃E4 ↓ → E4 10 = 10 E4 = SU(5) Three generations 3×(10+5*) + 5 + singlets !
Yet another big problem • Dark matter 23% • Dark energy 73% Despite the brilliant SM, which describes only 5% matters in our Universe! • Higgs condensates ~ 1062 % QCD chiral condensates~ 1050 %, …. Dark energy will pose a totally different problems.
Cosmological constant Λ, or vacuum energy • Present value Λ0 ≈ 10−29gr/cm³ ≈ (2.5×10−12 GeV)4 ≈ 10−44 ×〈 〉4QCD chiral condensate ≈ 10−56 ×〈Higgs〉4 ≈ 10−120 ×(MPlanck)4 Reduced Planck scale MPlanck= 1018 GeV
Particle Physicists: static view • Why is it so tiny? huge zero-point vacuum energies of fields • Global SUSY guarantees Λ= 0 But it is (spontaneously) broken at MSUSY ≈ 1 TeV so that we expect Λ= (MSUSY )4 ≈ 1060 × Λ0 • Moreover, SUGRA (local SUSY) does not guarantees Λ= 0, but requires fine tuning of 10−120 order
Remarks • Condensation energy for Spontaneous Sym Breaking ⊃Vacuum energy boson field: zero-point oscillation energy fermion: Dirac’s negative energy sea • Quantum gravity is irrelevant since it is low energy problem, totally classical gravity • Classical gravity field at microscopic (≈ 1fm) level may ≠macroscopic gravity field we feel everyday • Field theory (e.g., QCD) is correct
Cosmologists: historical view • In the order going back history, 1. QCD chiral sym breaking: -ΛQCD ≈ -(200 MeV)4 2. Electroweak symmetry breaking: -ΛEW ≈ -(200 GeV)4 3. GUT symmetry breaking: -ΛGUT ≈ -(10−2MPlanck)4 So that the initial cosmological constant should be Λinitial = Λ0 + ΛQCD + ΛEW + ΛGUT + ? where Λ0 ≪ ΛQCD ≪ ΛEW ≪ ΛGUT
Cosmologists: historical view • There must be huge cosmological constant at the beginning of our universe: Λinitial = Λ0 + ΛQCD + ΛEW + ΛGUT + ? nearly 10120-8 times larger than Λ0 . • Explain this initial value • Or, why is Λ0 so tiny at present? • Possibility of observing this thermal history
Conclusion • We still have many big problems whose beautiful solutions we can believe to exist and can discover! • Let us hope that we will soon get important clues from LHC and astrophysical observations.
