Abstract

A recently derived basic theorem on the decomposition of SO(2N) vertices is used to obtain a complete analytic determination of all SO(10) invariant cubic superpotential couplings involving 16±16_{\pm} semispinors of SO(10) chirality ±\pm and tensor representations. In addition to the superpotential couplings computed previously using the basic theorem involving the 10, 120 and 126ˉ\bar{126} tensor representations we compute here couplings involving the 1, 45 and 210 dimensional tensor representations, i.e., we compute the 16ˉ16±1\bar{16}_{\mp}16_{\pm}1,16ˉ16±45\bar{16}_{\mp}16_{\pm}45 and 16ˉ16±210\bar{16}_{\mp}16_{\pm}210 Higgs couplings in the superpotential. A complete determination of dimension five operators in the superpotential arising from the mediation of the 1, 45 and 210 dimensional representations is also given. The vector couplings 16ˉ±16±1\bar{16}_{\pm}16_{\pm}1, 16ˉ±16±45\bar{16}_{\pm}16_{\pm}45 and 16ˉ±16±210\bar{16}_{\pm}16_{\pm}210 are also analyzed. The role of large tensor representations and the possible application of results derived here in model building are discussed.
