Abstract

In this talk we discuss the possibility to construct a model of 
Gauge-Higgs unification in 6-dimensions, based on the gauge group SU(3), 
which is known to predict a wrong Weinberg angle. In order to construct a 
realistic model we include the effect of the so-called Kinetic gauge 
terms, which allow to correct such angle. At the same time, these terms 
change the predictions for the Higgs boson mass, which nevertheless 
remmain in the range allowed by electroweak precision measurements.
