Findings

Hierarchy between weak scale and unification scale explained

Potential detection of mirror fermions at LHC analyzed

Significant cosmological implications discussed

Abstract

We present a framework having the potential to unify the fundamental interactions in nature by introducing new degrees of freedom. An attempt is made to explain the hierarchy between the weak scale and the coupling unification scale, which is found to lie close to Planck energies. A novel process leading to the emergence of symmetry is proposed, which not only reduces the arbitrariness of the scenario proposed but is also followed by significant cosmological implications. Phenomenology includes the probability of detection of mirror fermions via the corresponding composite bosonic states and the relevant quantum corrections at the LHC.
