Recently we proposed an attractive scenario of grand unified theories with anomalous $U(1)_A$ gauge symmetry, in which doublet-triplet splitting is naturally realized in SO(10) unification using Dimopoulos-Wilczek mechanism and realistic…
In the Supersymmetric SU(5) Model of Unification with the Missing Partner Mechanism, we present a renormalizable model using the Georgi-Jarlsog mechanism to describe the fermion masses and mixing. At the meantime the proton decay rates are…
We investigate the presence of discrete gauge symmetries in Grand Unification models based in $SO(10)$ and $E_6$. These models include {\it flipped} and {\it unflipped} $SU(5)$, $SU(4)\!\times\! SU(2)_L\!\times\! SU(2)_R$,…
We construct the SU(5) and SO(10) models from F-theory. Turning on the U(1) fluxes, we can break the SU(5) gauge symmetry down to the Standard Model (SM) gauge symmetry, and break the SO(10) gauge symmetry down to the SU(3)_C X SU(2)_L X…
We study a renormalizable SUSY $SO(10)$ GUT model where the Yukawa couplings of single ${\bf 10}$, single ${\bf \overline{126}}$ and single ${\bf 120}$ fields, $Y_{10},Y_{126},Y_{120}$, account for the quark and lepton Yukawa couplings and…
We consider five dimensional (5D) supersymmetric SO(10) compactified on the orbifold $S^1/(Z_2\times Z_2')$ such that the SO(10) gauge symmetry is broken on both fixed points (branes), and the residual gauge symmetry is $SU(3)_c\times…
We construct a simple model of an SU(5) GUT with gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking from a metastable vacuum of a hidden sector. All mass parameters and hierarchies of our model are generated dynamically from retrofitting. This includes…
The minimal supersymmetric SO(10) model, in which not only the gauge but also the third generation fermion Yukawa couplings are unified, provides a simple and highly predictive theoretical scenario for the understanding of the origin of the…
We present a comprehensive analysis of a supersymmetric $SO(10)$ Grand Unified Theory, which is broken to the Standard Model via the breaking of two intermediate symmetries. The spontaneous breaking of the first intermediate symmetry,…
We implement inflation within a realistic supersymmetric SO(10) model in which the doublet-triplet splitting is realized through the Dimopoulos-Wilczek mechanism, the MSSM $\mu$ problem is resolved, and higgsino mediated dimension five…
Supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) has two sources of rapid proton decay: (i) R-parity breaking terms and (ii) higher dimensional Planck induced B-violating terms; its extensions to include neutrino masses via the type I seesaw mechanism…
We present a study of proton decay in a supersymmetric $ SO(10)$ gauge theory in six dimensions compactified on an orbifold. The dimension 5 proton decay operators are absent, but the dimension 6 are enhanced due to the presence of KK…
Supersymmetric (SUSY) grand unified theories (GUTs) appear to be best motivated for understanding strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions of nature. We briefly review emergence of new formulas for running fermion masses valid in…
Proton decay via d=5 operators is excluded by now not only in the framework of SUSY SU(5) but also its extensions like SUSY SO(10) are on the verge of being inconsistent with d=5 decays. It is reasonable therefore to suppress, e.g. by a…
We present a new possibility for achieving doublet-triplet splitting naturally in supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theories. It is based on a missing partner mechanism which is realized with the 126 + 126-bar Higgs superfields. These…
Recently we have proposed a renormalizable grand unified theory, based on the SU(5) gauge symmetry, where the neutrino masses are generated through the type I and type III seesaw mechanisms. In this letter we study the supersymmetric…
I review the recent efforts in the search for a minimal and predictive nonsupersymmetric SO(10) Grand Unified Thoery (GUT). The outcome is the revival of a minimal scenario in which a long standing result, claiming the incompatibility…
We consider a supersymmetric model motivated by a SO(10) grand unified theory: the gauge sector near the supersymmetry scale consists of SU(3)_c x SU(2)_L x U(1)_R x U(1)_{B-L}. We embed this model in minimal gauge mediation and incorporate…
We perform a detailed study of the grand unified theories $SO(10)$ and $E(6)$ with left-right intermediate gauge symmetries of the form $SU(N)_L\otimes SU(N)_R \otimes \mathcal{G}$. Proton decay lifetime constrains the unification scale to…
