Proton decay in six-dimensions orbifolded on T2/Z2 is highly suppressed at tree level. This is because baryon number violating operators containing only the zero mode of bulk fermions must satisfy a selection rule emerging from the remaining symmetry of the orbifold. Here we show that this relation can be evaded with operators made up of Kaluza Klein partners of the Standard Model fermions....

In the standard cosmological model the universe is assumed to be statistically isotropic & homogeneous when averaged on large scales. The dipole anisotropy of the CMB is ascribed to our peculiar motion due to local inhomogeneity. There should then be a corresponding dipole in the sky map of high redshift sources. Using catalogues of radio galaxies and quasars we find that this expectation is...

How can we decide which cosmological model is the most probable?
