A commonE 6 solution to the strongCP problem and the solar-neutrino problem

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

We present a commonE 6 solution to the strongCP problem and the solar-neutrino problem in the breakdown throughSU(2)×SU(6).E 6 supergravity model with anSU(N, 1) invariant Kähler potential is discussed, in which the strongCP violation can be eliminated via the invisible axion mechanism. The cosmological-constant problem is discussed in some detail too. This breakdown pattern provides also a potential resolution of the solar-neutrino puzzle by including the contributions of the 6-dimensional Yukawa terms.
