Abstract
Type-I string theory in the presence of internal magnetic fields provides a concrete realization of split supersymmetry. To lowest order, gauginos are massless while squarks and sleptons are superheavy. For weak magnetic fields, the correct Standard Model spectrum guarantees gauge coupling unification with sin2 ϑW=3/8 at the compactification scale of M GUT ⋍ 2 × 1016 GeV. I discuss mechanisms for generating gaugino and higgsino masses at the TeV scale, as well as generalizations to models with split extended supersymmetry in the gauge sector.

This argument is true only when the U(1) accompanying the weak interactions brane stack participates in the hypercharge combination. Otherwise, quark anti-doublets are equivalent to quark doublets
