Descripción
In this talk we discuss the possibility to construct a model of Gauge-Higgs unification in 6-dimensions, based on the gauge group SU(3), which is known to predict a wrong Weinberg angle. In order to construct a realistic model we include the effect of the so-called Kinetic gauge terms, which allow to correct such angle. At the same time, these terms change the predictions for the Higgs boson mass, which nevertheless remmain in the range allowed by electroweak precision measurements. IMPORTANT NOTE: the seminar will take place in the underground seminar room
