We discuss the $SU(5)$ grand unified extension of flavour models with multiple modular symmetries. The proposed model involves two modular $S_4$ groups, one acting in the charged fermion sector, associated with a modulus field value…
We describe how bi-maximal neutrino mixing can be realized in realistic models based on MSSM and SUSY GUTs such as SU(5) and SO(10). A crucial role is played by an anomalous ${\cal U}(1)$ flavor symmetry, which also helps understand the…
Right-handed (RH) rotations do not play a role in the Standard Model, and only the differences of the LH mixing angles are involved in ${\bf V}_{\scr \textrm{CKM}}$. This leads to the huge freedom in the fermionic mass matrices. However,…

We present a supersymmetric SU(5) GUT model with a discrete non-Abelian flavor symmetry that is broken by Wilson lines. The model is formulated in 4+3 dimensions compactified on a manifold S^3/Z_n. Symmetry breaking by Wilson lines is…
We study and classify $SU(5)$-GUT completions of accidental composite dark matter models. These theories postulate new vectorlike confining dark color dynamics and give an accidentally stable baryonic dark matter candidate. In realistic…
We study colored Higgsino-mediated proton decay (dimension-five proton decay) in a model based on the flipped $SU(5)$ GUT. In the model, the GUT-breaking ${\bf10}$, ${\bf \overline{10}}$ fields have a GUT-scale mass term and gain VEVs…

In a recent paper, a minimal supersymmetric (SUSY) SO(10)xS_4 based unified model of flavor for quarks and leptons was proposed with two 10 and one 126 contributing to fermion masses. An important aspect of this model is that Yukawa…

Addressing the fermion flavor structures using modular invariance is a challenging task in the framework of quark-lepton unification. Building on recent applications of modular symmetry in non-supersymmetric models, we propose the first…
