We study a gauge coupling unification scenario based on a non-supersymmetric 5-dimensional model. Through an orbifold compactification, we obtain the Standard Model with split multiplets on a 4-dimensional wall, which is compatible with a grand unification.

• Proton stability in grand unified theories, in strings and in branes (2006, background): “grand unified models with extra dimensions and here an interesting development is the reduction of the gauge symmetry by orbifold compactification [253, 254, 255, 256, 251, 257] which has in addition some very interesting features such as automatic doublet-triplet splitting.”
