The string landscape suggests that the supersymmetry breaking scale can be high, and then the simplest low energy effective theory is the Standard Model (SM). Considering grand unification scale supersymmetry breaking, we show that gauge…
We discuss flavor mixing and resultant flavor changing neutral current processes in the SU(3) \otimes SU(3)_\text{color} gauge-Higgs unification scenario. To achieve flavor violation is a challenging issue in the scenario, since the Yukawa…
We construct and discuss a "realistic" example of SUSY SU(5) GUT model, with an additional U(1) flavour symmetry, that is not plagued by the need of large fine tunings, like those associated with doublet-triplet splitting in the minimal…
Using the current precision electroweak data, we look for the minimal particle content which is necessary to add to the standard model in order to have a complete unification of gauge couplings and gravity at the weakly coupled heterotic…
The recent LEP data for gauge coupling constants constrain many grand unified models. In this paper, we study several possibilities for unification of gauge coupling constants. Without an intermediate mass scale, the minimal supersymmetric…
We consider a minimal renormalizable non-supersymmetric $E_6$ Grand Unified Theory using fundamental representation $27$ for fermions and scalars. The scalar with adjoint representation ${78}$ is also taken for direct breaking of $E_{6}$ to…
If there is an extra U(1) gauge symmetry broken at low energies, then it may be possible from the charges of the known quarks and leptons under this U(1) to make inferences about how much gauge unification occurs at high scales and about…
It is shown that embedding of flipped SU(5) in a five-dimensional SO(10) enables exact unification of the gauge coupling constants. The demand for the unification uniquely determines both the compactification scale and the cutoff scale.…
We reassess non-standard triple gauge couplings in the light of the recent $(g-2)_\mu$ measurement at FNAL, the new lattice theory result of $(g-2)_\mu$ and the updated measurements of several $B$-decay modes. In the framework of SMEFT,…
We perform a detailed analysis of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM), imposing the constraints of two-loop gauge coupling unification, universal soft supersymmetry breaking and the correct pattern of electroweak…
We have recently proposed an alternative picture for the physics at the scale of gauge coupling unification, where the unified symmetry is realized in higher dimensions but is broken locally by a symmetry breaking defect. Gauge coupling…
For supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model we construct some expressions that include Yukawa couplings for the third and second generations and receive relatively small quantum corrections. This implies that they slightly depend on…
We derive predictions for Yukawa coupling ratios within GUTs generated from operators with mass dimension four and five. These relations are a characteristic property of unified flavour models and can reduce the large number of free…
One way to generate an intermediate scale being consistent with gauge coupling unification is to add new Higgs scalars above the intermediate scale. We classify such scenarios according to their degree of departure from minimal…
In Grand Unified Theories (GUTs), the Standard Model (SM) gauge couplings need not be unified at the GUT scale due to the high-dimensional operators. Considering gravity mediated supersymmetry breaking, we study for the first time the…
In minimal supergravity theories the soft supersymmetry breaking (SSB) parameters are universal (flavor blind) near the Planck scale. Nevertheless, one often assumes universality at the grand-unification scale $M_{G} \approx 10^{16}$ GeV…
If N=2 supersymmetry breaks to N=1 supersymmetry at an intermediate scale $m_2$ and then, later on, N=1 supersymmetry breaks and produces standard model at a scale $m_{susy}$ such that $m_2 > m_{susy}$, renormalization group evolution of…
In the superstring models we have not only the complete {\bf 27} multiplets of $E_6$ but also extra incomplete $({\bf 27}+{\overline {\bf 27}})$ chiral supermultiplets being alive at low energies. Associated with these additional…
We study the gauge coupling unification with extra dimensions. We take into account corrections due to the higher dimensional operators. We show the prediction of $\alpha_3(M_Z)$ is sensitive to such corrections, even if…
The supersymmetric $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ theory with minimal particle content and general soft supersymmetry breaking terms has 110 physical parameters in its flavor sector: 30 masses, 39 real mixing angles and 41 phases. The…
