Gauge symmetry and supersymmetry in the Higgsless standard model

Abstract

The group SO(6) ⊗ SO(5) is shown to be the gauge group as well as supersymmetry group of a four dimensional superstring model. Here, we discuss how supersymmetry is realised in 4-dimensions and further, we successfully reproduce the gauge symmetry results. Using the SO(6) ⊗ SO(5) group, all the known aspects of the string theory are obtained. The model reduces to the Standard Model which has the capability of containing the ingredients of a successful theory of the present day physics. However, there are no Higgs in the model.
