Gauge-Higgs Grand Unification
read the original abstract
$SO(11)$ gauge-Higgs grand unification in the Randall-Sundrum warped space is proposed. Orbifold boundary conditions and one brane scalar field reduce $SO(11)$ to the standard model symmetry, which is further broken to $SU(3)_C \times U(1)_{EM}$ by the Hosotani mechanism. In a minimal model quarks and leptons are contained in a multiplet in ${\bf 32}$ of $SO(11)$ in each generation. Proton decay is naturally suppressed by a conserved fermion number.

Family Unification in $SO(16)$ Grand Unification
A 6D SO(16) GUT model unifies SM gauge groups with SU(3) family symmetry by placing three chiral generations into one spinor representation, canceling anomalies via vectorlike 6D fermions and fixed-point localized sta...
