AdS/CFT Correspondence and Unification at About 4 TeV

TL;DR

This paper discusses an approach to string phenomenology inspired by AdS/CFT correspondence, exploring finite-N non-supersymmetric theories and their UV properties, with implications for unification at around 4 TeV.

Contribution

It introduces a novel perspective on finite-N non-SUSY theories inspired by AdS/CFT, highlighting potential UV property preservation and future research directions.

Findings

Finite-N non-SUSY theories are not directly obtainable from AdS/CFT.

Speculation that UV properties of infinite-N theories may survive in finite-N cases.

Future work aims to study quadratic divergences in finite-N gauge theories.

Abstract

I will give a brief summary of an approach to string phenomenology which is inspired by AdS/CFT correspondence and which has been pursued for the last five years. Finite-N non-SUSY theories as discussed here are not obtainable from AdS/CFT although a speculation, currently under study, is that key UV properties of infinite-N theories which may be so obtained can survive, at least in some(one?) cases for the finite-N case. Future work will study the (non-)occurrence of quadratic divergences in the resultant finite-N gauge theories.
