We study equivalence classes of boundary conditions in gauge theory on the orbifold $T^2/Z_3$. Orbifold conditions and those gauge transformation properties are given and the gauge equivalence is understood by the Hosotani mechanism. Mode expansions are carried out for six-dimensional $Z_3$ singlet fields and a $Z_3$ triplet field, and the one-loop effective potential for Wilson line phases is calculated.
We derive sum rules among scalar masses for various boundary conditions of the hidden-visible couplings in the presence of hidden sector dynamics and show that they still can be useful probes of the MSSM and beyond.
We derive relations among sfermion masses based on orbifold family unification models. Sfermion mass relations are specific to each model and can be useful for a selection of realistic model.
We study the possibility of complete family unification in higher-dimensional space-time. Three families of matters in SU(5) grand unified theory are derived from a single bulk multiplet of SU(N) gauge group (N >= 9) in the framework of S^1/Z_2 orbifold models. In the case of the direct orbifold breaking down to the standard model gauge group, there are models in which bulk fields from a single multiplet and a few brane fields compose three families of quarks and leptons.
Sum rules among superparticle masses are derived under the assumption that models beyond the MSSM are four-dimensional supersymmetric grand unified theories or five-dimensional supersymmetric orbifold grand unified theories. Sfermion sum rules are classified into four types and those sum rules can be useful probes of the MSSM and beyond.
