U(1) extension of the standard model from short-distance structure of spacetime

Abstract In this paper, we presented a $$\mathrm {U}(1)$$ U(1) extension of the SM and the corresponding consequences, based on a more fundamental structure of the spacetime. We started fundamentally from a generally covariant theory which includes a set of the fields propagating dynamically in the...

Description
Summary:Abstract In this paper, we presented a $$\mathrm {U}(1)$$ U(1) extension of the SM and the corresponding consequences, based on a more fundamental structure of the spacetime. We started fundamentally from a generally covariant theory which includes a set of the fields propagating dynamically in the fundamental spacetime and respecting for the SM gauge group. We then derived, in the effective four-dimensional spacetime, an extension of the SM with the gauge group $$\mathrm {SU}(3)_C\otimes \mathrm {SU}(2)_L\otimes \mathrm {U}(1)_Y\otimes \mathrm {U}(1)_X$$ SU(3)C⊗SU(2)L⊗U(1)Y⊗U(1)X . Due to the structure of the spacetime, the tiny observed neutrino masses are an unavoidable consequence in this scenario. Also, the phenomenology of the new neutral gauge boson is discussed in detail.
