Supersymmetric image models inspired by deconstruction Original Research Article

We consider 4-dimensional image supersymmetric image models inspired by deconstruction of 5-dimensional image supersymmetric orbifold image models and high-dimensional non-supersymmetric image models with Wilson line gauge symmetry breaking. We discuss the image models with bi-fundamental link fields where the gauge symmetry can be broken down to the Pati–Salam, image, flipped image or the Standard Model like gauge symmetry. We also propose an image model with bi-fundamental link fields where the gauge symmetry is broken down to the Pati–Salam gauge symmetry, and an image model with bi-spinor link fields where the gauge symmetry is broken down to the flipped image gauge symmetry. In these two models, the Pati–Salam and flipped image gauge symmetry can be further broken down to the Standard Model gauge symmetry, the doublet–triplet splittings can be obtained by the missing partner mechanism, and the proton decay problem can be solved. We also study the gauge coupling unification. We briefly comment on the interesting variation models with gauge groups image and image in which the proton decay problem can be solved.
