Approximate <i>SU</i>(5) Fine Structure Constants

We fit the three finestructure constants of the Standard Model, in which the first approximation of theoretically estimable parameters include (1) a “unified scale”, turning out <i>not</i> equal to the Planck scale and thus only estimable by a very speculative story, the second includes...

description We fit the three finestructure constants of the Standard Model, in which the first approximation of theoretically estimable parameters include (1) a “unified scale”, turning out <i>not</i> equal to the Planck scale and thus only estimable by a very speculative story, the second includes (2) a “number of layers” being a priori the number of families, and the third is (3) a unified coupling related to a critical coupling on a lattice. So formally, we postdict the three fine structure constants! In the philosophy of our model, there is a physical lattice theory with link variables taking values in a (or in the various) “small” representation(s) of the standard model <b>Group</b>. We argue for that these representations function in the first approximation based on the theory of a genuine <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>S</mi><mi>U</mi><mo>(</mo><mn>5</mn><mo>)</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> theory.
