Abstract
Because of the problems arising from the fermion unification in the traditional grand unified theory and the mass hierarchy between the four-dimensional Planck scale and weak scale, we suggest the low energy gauge unification theory with low high-dimensional Planck scale. We discuss the nonsupersymmetric SU(5) model on M4 × S1/Z2 × S1/Z2 and the supersymmetric SU(5) model on M4 × S1/(Z2 × Z2′) × S1/(Z2 × Z2′). The SU(5) gauge symmetry is broken by the orbifold projection for the zero modes, and the gauge unification is accelerated due to the SU(5) asymmetric light KK states. In our models, we forbid the proton decay, still keep the charge quantization, and automatically solve the fermion mass problem. We also comment on the anomaly cancellation and other possible scenarios for low energy gauge unification.
