Realizing Higher-Level Gauge Symmetries in String Theory: New Embeddings for String GUTs
- Abstract:
-
We consider the methods by which higher-level and non-simply laced gauge symmetries can be realized in free-field heterotic string theory. We show that all such realizations have a common underlying feature, namely a dimensional truncation of the charge lattice, and we identify such dimensional truncations with certain irregular embeddings of higher-level and non-simply laced gauge groups within level-one simply-laced gauge groups. This identification allows us to formulate a direct mapping b...
