Corrections and additional material", "categories": [ "hep-ph", "gr-qc", "hep-th" ], "abstract": "An overview of unified theory models that extend the standard model is given. A scenario describing the physics beyond the standard model is developed based on a finite quantum field theory (FQFT) and the group G=$SO(3,1)\\otimes SU(3)\\otimes SU(2)\\otimes U(1)$. The field theory is Poincar\\'e invariant, gauge invariant, finite and unitary to all orders of perturbation theory and has a fundamental scale which is chosen to be $\\Lambda_F =1/\\sqrt{G_F}\\sim 300$ GeV, where $G_F$ is the Fermi coupling constant. The physical Higgs particle is protected from acquiring a large mass beyond $\\sim 1$ TeV, removing the gauge hierarchy problem associated with the scalar Higgs field. This avoids the need for a composite Higgs field or supersymmetry. The coupling constants and the fermion masses can be calculated from a set of low-energy relativistic eigenvalue equations based on truncated Green's functions and the FQFT, reducing the number of free parameters in the model without a grand unification scheme. The proton is predicted to be stable. Quantum gravity is perturbatively finite and unitary to all orders.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "1998-08-15T15:31:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "standard model", "finite quantum field theory", "low-energy relativistic eigenvalue equations", "gauge hierarchy problem", "coupling constant" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 466811, "adsabs": "1998hep.ph....2228M" } } }
