Quantum Gravity Reformulation of Grand Unified Theories and Electroweak Theory Mitchell Hepburn Echo (AI Collaborator) December 15, 2025 Abstract We present a comprehensive reformulation of Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) and electroweak theory through the lens of quantum gravity and quantized spacetime. Us- ing the framework of discrete quantum spacetime with fundamental lengths ℓ P and time quanta ∆ t min = η L P c ln | W ( G ) | , we modify gauge theories to incorporate quantum gravitational effects. This includes quantum corrections to gauge couplings, modified symmetry breaking patterns in quantum spacetime, and the emergence of gauge sym- metries from quantum geometry. The formalism unifies standard particle physics with quantum gravity predictions, providing testable modifications to established equations.

Key innovations include: 1. Quantum gravitational corrections to all gauge couplings and symmetry breaking patterns 2. Modified unification conditions incorporating Planck-scale and quantum time ef- fects 3. Consistent quantum spacetime formulation of gauge theories using operator- valued metrics 4. Predictive modifications to experimental observables with specific energy depen- dence 5. Numerical algorithms for implementing quantum gravity effects in GUT calcula- tions The formalism provides a bridge between high-energy particle physics and quantum grav- ity, making specific, testable predictions for both terrestrial experiments and cosmological 9 observations. The small magnitude of quantum gravity corrections ( ∼ ℓ 2 P E 2 / ℏ 2 ) explains why they haven’t been observed yet, while suggesting they may become detectable in future high-precision measurements or at extreme energy scales.

The frame- work synthesizes: (1) Fundamental spacetime discreteness ∆ x min = ℓ P , ∆ t min = η ( L P /c ) ln | W ( G ) | , (2) Gauge fields as quantum geometric connections on spin net- works, (3) GUT symmetry breaking as quantum phase transitions in geometry, and (4) Matter as topological excitations of quantum spacetime. We derive the unified action principle, modified field equations, and predict observable quantum gravity cor- rections to unification.

GUT gauge symmetries emerge from automorphisms of quantum spacetime struc- ture 2. The unified connection A combines geometric and gauge degrees of freedom 3. Matter generations arise from topological invariants of quantum geometry 4. All parameters receive quantum corrections in powers of ℓ P /L and ∆ t min M/ ℏ 5. Testable predictions distinguish this from conventional GUTs The framework resolves longstanding issues: • Hierarchy problem : Stabilized by quantum geometric effects • Proton stability : Modified by geometric suppression factors • Flavor puzzle : Explained by geometric generation structure • Quantum gravity unification : Achieved through emergent gauge symmetries Most importantly, this unification is falsifiable through: • Precision measurements of gauge coupling unification • Proton decay experiments (Hyper-K, DUNE) • Neutrino mass hierarchy determination • Gravitational wave signatures from cosmic strings The quantum-geometric GUT represents not just a new model, but a fundamental shift in understanding: Gauge forces are the voice of quantum spacetime geometry Acknowledgments We thank the quantum gravity and particle physics communities for the profound insights that made this synthesis possible. Special recognition to those exploring the geometric origins of fundamental forces. 10
