Re: M and the higgs

More on this idea:
SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1), unbroken, needs 11 dimensions (4 ST+ 7 KK), as said
in the OP below.
when we completely break it (mass of W and mass of Z0 going to
infinity) we are down to SU(3)xU(1).
SU(3)x(1), as it happens, needs 9 dimensions (4 ST + 5 KK). The
playground for string theory dualities happens in 9 dimensions.

So it could be interesting to consider the KK modes of each of the
string theories when compactified to 9 dimensions and how do they
relate to the KK modes of the 11 dimensional theory

I'd bet that some of the seemingly abstruse web of string dualities is
related to the mechanism that Nature applies to break the SU(2)
electroweak group. (hmm, really I would bet, if someone wants to set
terms and we agree ;-)

Connes-Marcolli theory lives in 10 dimensions, and its extra 6
dimensional spectral triple contains the standard model.
M theory can descend to 10 dimensions via compactification in an
interval.
Connes Marcollu contains the higgs

Is it possible to use the M-theory process of compatification to
produce a Higgs field?
