Flavor changing nucleon decay

Recent discovery of neutrino large mixings implies the large mixings in the diagonalizing matrices of $\bf\bar 5$ fields in $SU(5)$ grand unified theory (GUT), while the diagonalizing matrices of $\bf 10$ fields of $SU(5)$ are expected to have small mixings like Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. We calculate the predictions of flavor changing nucleon decays (FCND) in $SU(5)$, $SO(10)$, and $E_6$ GUT models which have the above features for mixings. We found that FCND can be the main decay mode especially for GUT with higher rank unification group. Recent report for $P\rightarrow \pi^0\mu^+$ process implies $E_6$ or $SO(10)$ GUT if the signal is from the nucleon decay.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures v2:references are added v3:references, figures and texts are improved v4:final version to be published in PL

Symmetry breaking boundaries II. More structures; examples

Various structural properties of the space of symmetry breaking boundary conditions that preserve an orbifold subalgebra are established. To each such boundary condition we associate its automorphism type. It is shown that correlation functions in the presence of such boundary conditions are expressible in terms of twisted boundary blocks which obey twisted Ward identities. The subset of boundary conditions that share the same automorphism type is controlled by a classifying algebra, whose structure constants are shown to be traces on spaces of chiral blocks. T-duality on boundary conditions is not a one-to-one map in general. These structures are illustrated in a number of examples. Several applications, including the construction of non-BPS boundary conditions in string theory, are exhibited.Comment: 51 pages, LaTeX2
