34 The Memory of SO(10) SO(10) is realized in the higher dimensional theory broken in d = 4 incomplete multiplets StringPheno05 p.22/31
35 The Memory of SO(10) SO(10) is realized in the higher dimensional theory broken in d = 4 incomplete multiplets There could still be remnants of SO(10) symmetry 16 of SO(10) at some branes correct hypercharge normalization R-parity family symmetries that are very useful for realistic model building... StringPheno05 p.22/31
36 Proton decay R-parity from SO(10) memory avoids dangerous dimension-4 operators No proton decay via dimension-5 operators because of doublet-triplet splitting Avoid SO(10) brane for first family: suppressed p-decay via dimension-6 operators Thus the proton could be practically stable! StringPheno05 p.23/31
37 Unification SO(10) memory provides a reasonable value of sin 2 θ W and a unified definition of hypercharge presence of fixed tori allows for large threshold corrections at the high scale to match string and unification scale Yukawa unification from SO(10) memory for third family (on an SO(10) brane) no Yukawa unification for first and second family required StringPheno05 p.24/31
38 Yukawa textures and family symmetries Yukawa couplings depend on location of Higgs and matter fields Exponential suppression if fields at distant branes neutrino masses need some bulk mixing (one might need anti-families) GUT relations could be partially present, depending on the nature of the brane (e.g. SO(10) brane) family symmetries arise if different fields live on the same brane StringPheno05 p.25/31
