I discuss the weak scale threshold corrections in supersymmetric models. I describe the ``match and run" approximation to the threshold corrections and compare with the exact one-loop results. With explicit examples I show that in cases…
It is pointed out that in supersymmetric models with a new gauge symmetry under which the Higgs is charged, the fine-tuning of the electroweak symmetry breaking is relaxed due to suppression of the top Yukawa coupling at higher scales by a…
The equality assumption of the b and tau Yukawa couplings at the grand-unification scale can strongly constrain the allowed parameter space of supersymmetric models. We examine the constraints in the case that there is a discrepancy > 10%…
The current experimental lower bound on the Higgs mass significantly restricts the allowed parameter space in most realistic supersymmetric models, with the consequence that these models exhibit significant fine-tuning. We propose a…

The Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) with a Higgs-singlet coupling {\lambda} close to unity, moderate tan {\beta} and stop masses below 1 TeV minimizes the fine tuning of the electroweak scale, making possible that the…
Supersymmetric gauge theories, in higher dimensions compactified in an orbifold, give a natural framework to unify the gauge bosons, Higgs fields and even the matter fields in a single multiplet of the unifying gauge symmetry. The extra…
We scan the complete parameter space of the supersymmetric standard model extended by a gauge singlet, which is compatible with the following constraints: universal soft supersymmetry breaking terms at the GUT scale, finite running Yukawa…
