Unified Pati-Salam from Noncommutative Geometry: Overview and Phenomenological Remarks

The lack of clear new-physics signals at the LHC searches motivates models that can guide current and future collider searches. The spectral action principle within the noncommutative geometry (NCG) framework yields such models with distinctive phenomenology. This formalism derives the actions of the Standard Model, General Relativity, and beyond from the underlying algebra, putting them on a common geometric footing. Certain versions of Pati-Salam (PS) models with gauge coupling unification and limited scalar content can be derived from an appropriate noncommutative algebra. In this paper, I review these gauge-coupling-unified Pati-Salam models and discuss their phenomenological aspects, focusing on the $S_1$ scalar leptoquark.

Emergent photons and gravitons

Now, it is already not a big surprise that due to the spontaneous Lorentz invariance violation (SLIV) there may emerge massless vector and tensor Goldstone modes identified particularly with photon and graviton. Point is, however, that this mechanism is usually considered separately for photon and graviton, though in reality they appear in fact together. In this connection, we recently develop the common emergent electrogravity model which would like to present here. This model incorporates the ordinary QED and tensor field gravity mimicking linearized general relativity. The SLIV is induced by length-fixing constraints put on the vector and tensor fields, $A_{μ}^{2}=\pm M_{A}^{2}$ and $H_{μν}^{2}=\pm M_{H}^{2}$ ($M_{A}$ and $M_{H}$ are the proposed symmetry breaking scales) which possess the much higher symmetry then the model Lagrangian itself. As a result, the twelve Goldstone modes are produced in total and they are collected into the vector and tensor field multiplets. While photon is always the true vector Goldstone boson, graviton contain pseudo-Goldstone modes as well. In terms of the appearing zero modes, theory becomes essentially nonlinear and contains many Lorentz and CPT violating interaction. However, as argued, they do not contribute in processes which might lead to the physical Lorentz violation. Nonetheless, how the emergent electrogravity theory could be observationally differed from conventional QED and GR theories is also briefly discussed.

Lorentzian Goldstone modes shared among photons and gravitons

It has long been known that photons and gravitons may appear as vector and tensor Goldstone modes caused \ by spontaneous Lorentz invariance violation (SLIV). Usually this approach is considered for photons and gravitons separately. We develop the emergent electrogravity theory consisting of the ordinary QED and the tensor field gravity model which mimics the linearized general relativity in Minkowski spacetime. In this theory, Lorentz symmetry appears incorporated into higher global symmetries of the length-fixing constraints put on the vector and tensor fields involved, $A_{μ}^{2}=\pm M_{A}^{2}$ and $H_{μν}^{2}=\pm M_{H}^{2}$ ($M_{A}$ and $M_{H}$ are the proposed symmetry breaking scales). We show that such a SLIV pattern being related to breaking of global symmetries underlying these constraints induces the massless Goldstone and pseudo-Goldstone modes shared among photon and graviton. While for a vector field case the symmetry of the constraint coincides with Lorentz symmetry $SO(1,3)$ of the electrogravity Lagrangian, the tensor field constraint itself possesses much higher global symmetry $SO(7,3)$, whose spontaneous violation provides a sufficient number of zero modes collected in a graviton. Accordingly, while photon may only contain true Goldstone modes, graviton appears at least partially composed from pseudo-Goldstone modes rather than from pure Goldstone ones. When expressed in terms of these modes, the theory looks essentially nonlinear and contains a variety of Lorentz and $CPT$ violating couplings. However, all SLIV effects turn out to be strictly cancelled in the lowest order processes that is considered in some detail. How this emergent electrogravity theory could be observationally differed from conventional QED and GR theories is also briefly discussed.
