Flipped $SU(5)$ GUT with conformal gravity from a single supermultiplet (2412.20191v1)

Abstract: The Grassmann envelope is used to find the $\mathcal{N}=1$ `superquasiconformal' algebra in $D=10+1$. The adjoint representation of this algebra is found to contain $\mathfrak{su}{2,2}\oplus \mathfrak{u}{1}\oplus \mathfrak{su}{5}$ as a submaximal subalgebra, giving a spectrum of conformal gravity with flipped $SU{5}\times U_{1}$ GUT. Combining Yang-Mills theory with MacDowell-Mansouri gravity over the conformal group is found to recover the Einstein-Hilbert action with a cosmological constant. An action for the theory is presented, which contains the gauge bosons of gravity and GUT, three generations of fermions in an efficient manner, and a new Higgs sector. By using the superalgebra for the entire multiplet, the theory gauges a non-supersymmetric subalgebra without introducing superpartners.
