QTC Journal Club: Dual Grand Unified Theories

Speaker: Leonardo Piacevole from Naples University. He is going to discuss some aspects of physics beyond the Standard Model. More information is reported below.

Abstract: The Standard Model, despite its successes, has several open questions. One of such is the "true" Higgs nature. If we adopt the "Seiberg duality" to a non supersymmetric QCD with a new Weyl fermion in the adjoint of the group ( gluino ) and we gauge the flavour group in order to reinstate the electroweak group, the Standard Model appears as part of a "magnetic theory" which is the dual of a more fundamental "electric theory" at higher energies. Therefore the Higgs can be seen as a bound state of the electric theory fermionic degrees of freedom.
We constructed the Standard Model dual spectrum and we discussed the predictions of this new reinterpretation of the theory. Then, we explored novel theories of grand unification based on the electric  
Standard Model Theory with focus on the SU(5) and the SU(10) grand unified group.
