Abstract

We propose a graviGUT unification scheme based on the simple orthogonal group SO(1,9,C)\mathrm{SO}(1,9 ,\mathbb{C}) that resolves the chiral duplication of weak isospin in Pati--Salam models. In the conventional SU(4)×SU(2)+×SU(2)SU(4)\times SU(2)_+\times SU(2)_- framework, the unobserved second chiral SU(2)SU(2) is typically removed by ad hoc high-energy scale breaking. Here we instead \emph{geometrize} it: one SU(2)SU(2) factor is identified with a chiral half of the Lorentz group, so it belongs to gravity rather than to an additional weak force. This identification becomes natural inside SO(1,9,C)\mathrm{SO}(1,9 ,\mathbb{C}), where the algebra decomposes as so(1,3)Cso(6)C(coset)\mathfrak{so}(1,3)_{\mathbb{C}}\oplus\mathfrak{so}(6)_{\mathbb{C}}\oplus(\text{coset}). We construct a parity-symmetric chiral action that, upon breaking \emph{dynamically} selects one chirality: the surviving Yang--Mills factor is identified with SU(2)+SU(2)_+, while the opposite chirality persists as the gravitational chiral connection. These lead to concrete phenomenological handles, including graviton and weak-boson vertices with the other fundamental forces in SU(3)SU(3) and U(1)U(1) and parity-sensitive gravitational-wave signatures, that distinguish the SO(1,9,C)\mathrm{SO}(1,9,\mathbb{C}) construction from both traditional Pati--Salam and larger, less economical unifications.
