Supersymmetric field theories in quantum mechanics (81T60) Unified quantum theories (81V22)

Abstract: We analyze the implications of electroweak and strong coupling unification in a very general class of models extending the minimal supersymmetric standard model in $4+p$ dimensions $(pgeq0)$. In general, electroweak precision data require the presence of large extra dimensions (low compactification scales, $M_c$) and/or low unification scale, $M_U$. In particular, the actual experimental value of the strong coupling at $M_Z$ imposes an upper bound on the compactification and unification scales. In four dimensional theories ($M_{c}simeq{M}_U$) with canonical hypercharge assignment we find $M_{U}lesssim10^9$ GeV. In theories with extra dimensions ($M_c<M_U$) we find $M_{c}lesssim10^7$ GeV, for a supersymmetric spectrum at the TeV scale.
