摘要：

The existence of an extra Z ′ Z ′ mathContainer Loading Mathjax inspired from heterotic-string theory at accessible energy scales attracted considerable interest in the particle physics literature. Surprisingly, however, the construction of heterotic-string derived models that allow for an extra Z ′ Z ′ mathContainer Loading Mathjax to remain unbroken down to low scales has proven to be very difficult. The main reason being that the U(1) U ( 1 ) mathContainer Loading Mathjax symmetries that are typically discussed in the literature are either anomalous or have to be broken at a high scale to generate light neutrino masses. In this paper we use for that purpose the self-duality property under the spinor vector duality, which was discovered in free fermionic heterotic string models. The chiral massless states in the self-dual models fill complete 27 representations of E 6 E 6 mathContainer Loading Mathjax . The anomaly free gauge symmetry in the effective low energy field theory of our string model is SU (4) C × SU (2) L × SU (2) R ×U(1) ζ SU ( 4 ) C × SU ( 2 ) L × SU ( 2 ) R × U ( 1 ) ζ mathContainer Loading Mathjax , where U(1) ζ U ( 1 ) ζ mathContainer Loading Mathjax is the family universal U(1) U ( 1 ) mathContainer Loading Mathjax symmetry that descends from E 6 E 6 mathContainer Loading Mathjax , and is typically anomalous in other free fermionic heterotic-string models. Our model therefore allows for the existence of a low scale Z ′ Z ′ mathContainer Loading Mathjax , which is a combination of BL B L mathContainer Loading Mathjax , U(1) ζ U ( 1 ) ζ mathContainer Loading Mathjax and T 3 R T 3 R mathContainer Loading Mathjax . The string model is free of exotic fractionally charged states in the massless spectrum. It contains exotic SO (10) SO ( 10 ) mathContainer Loading Mathjax singlet states that carry fractional, non- E 6 E 6 mathContainer Loading Mathjax charge, with respect to U(1) ζ U ( 1 ) ζ mathContainer Loading Mathjax . These non- E 6 E 6 mathContainer Loading Mathjax string states arise in the model due to the breaking of the E 6 E 6 mathContainer Loading Mathjax symmetry by discrete Wilson lines. They represent a distinct signature of the string vacua. They may provide viable dark matter candidates.
