Non-Abelian Gauge Family Symmetry in Rank 8 and 16 Grand Unified String Theories

1995 
The one of the main points of the investigations in high energy physics is to study the next chain: a law of the quark and lepton mass spectra $\rightarrow $ the puzzles of the quark and lepton family mixing $\rightarrow $ a possible new family dynamics. The new family symmetry dynamics might be connected to the existence of some exotic gauge or matter fields or something yet. For this it will better to study the possibilities of the appearence this gauge symmetry in the framework of the Grand Unified String Theories. In the framework of four dimensional heterotic superstring with free fermions we investigate the rank eight Grand Unified String Theories (GUST) which contain the $SU(3)_H$-gauge family symmetry. We explicitly construct GUST with gauge symmetry $G = SU(5) \times U(1)\times (SU(3) \times U(1))_H$ and $G = SO(10)\times (SU(3) \times U(1))_H$ $\subset SO(16)$ or $E(6)\times SU(3)_H$ $\subset E(8)$ in free complex fermion formulation. As the GUSTs originating from Kac-Moody algebras (KMA) contain only low-dimensional representations it is usually difficult to break the gauge symmetry. We solve this problem taking for the observable gauge symmetry the diagonal subgroup $G^{sym}$ of rank $16$ group $G\times G\subset SO(16)\times SO(16)$ or $(E(6) \times SU(3)_H)^2 $ $\subset E(8)\times E(8)$. We discuss the possible fermion matter and Higgs sectors in these models. In these GUST there has to exist "superweak" light chiral matter($m_H^f < M_W$). The understanding of quark and lepton mass spectra and family mixing leave a possibility for the existence of an unusually low mass breaking scale of the $SU(3)_H$ family gauge symmetry
