Charting Standard Model Duality and its Signatures

TL;DR

This paper explores a gauge duality of the Standard Model, revealing high-energy fermionic gauge dynamics and a low-energy quasi-supersymmetric spectrum, with implications for collider tests and grand unification theories.

Contribution

It introduces a dual description of the Standard Model with distinct high and low energy regimes, and discusses its potential for grand unification.

Findings

High-energy gauge theory involves only fermionic matter.

Low-energy spectrum is quasi-supersymmetric and testable at colliders.

Duality offers new pathways for grand unification theories.

Abstract

We investigate high and low energy implications of a gauge dual description of the Standard Model. The high energy electric theory features gauge dynamics involving only fermionic matter fields, while the low energy magnetic description features a quasi-supersymmetric spectrum testable at colliders. The flavour theory is constructed via operators generated at the Planck scale. We further show that duality opens novel avenues for theories of grand unification.
