Finite-N Conformality and Gauge Coupling Unification

TL;DR

This paper discusses the concept of an infrared conformal fixed point at the TeV scale and demonstrates how gauge coupling unification can be achieved through TeV unification within a semi-simple gauge group.

Contribution

It introduces the idea of TeV-scale unification via an infrared conformal fixed point and illustrates how gauge coupling unification can be realized in this framework.

Findings

Gauge coupling unification possible at TeV scale

Infrared conformal fixed point at TeV scale

Unification achieved with semi-simple gauge groups

Abstract

In this talk I review some aspects of the idea that there is an infra-red conformal fixed-point at the TeV scale. In particular, it is shown how gauge coupling unification can be achieved by TeV unification in a semi-simple gauge group.
