We investigate gauge coupling unification for F-theory respectively Type IIB orientifold constructions of SU(5) GUT theories with gauge symmetry breaking via non-trivial hypercharge flux. This flux has the non-trivial effect that it splits…
In unified gauge theories there exist renormalization group invariant relations among gauge and Yukawa couplings that are compatible with perturbative renormalizability, which could be considered as a Gauge-Yukawa Unification. Such…
It is well known that in low energy supersymmetry the ratio of the gaugino mass to the gauge coupling squared, M/alpha, is renormalization group invariant to one-loop. We present a systematic analysis of the corrections to this ratio,…

We study asymptotically non-free gauge theories and search for renormalization group invariant (i.e. technically natural) relations among the couplings which lead to successful gauge-Yukawa unification. To be definite, we consider a…
We propose a supersymmetric hypercolor SU(3)_H gauge theory interacting strongly at the grand unification scale, in which the hyperquark condensation breaks SU(5)_GUT down to SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L without unbroken U(1)_Y at the classical level.…
The unification of gauge coupling constants in the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM) is unaffected at the one-loop level by the inclusion of additional mass-degenerate SU(5) multiplets. Perturbativity puts an upper limit on the number of…

Two-loop evolutions of the gauge couplings in a class of intermediate scale supersymmetric SO(10) models including the effect of third generation Yukawa couplings are studied. The unification scale, the intermediate scale and the value of…
We consider $b$-$\tau$ unification in supersymmetric $SU(5)$ grand unified theories (GUTs) with extra matters. The renormalization group runnings of $b$ and $\tau$ Yukawa coupling constants may be significantly affected by the existence of…
We investigate the impact of extra vector-like GUT multiplets on the predicted value of the strong coupling. We find in particular that Yukawa couplings between such extra multiplets and the MSSM Higgs doublets can resolve the familiar…
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 consider the Standard Model with a new scalar field $X$ which is a $n_X^{}$ representation of the $SU(2)_L$ with a hypercharge $Y_X$. The renormalization group running effects on the new scalar quartic coupling constants are evaluated.…
A distinctive feature of string unification is the possibility of unification by a non-simply-laced group. This occurs most naturally in four dimensional type~II string models where the gauge symmetry is realized by Kac-Moody algebras at…
We analyse the phenomenological implications of a particular class of supersymmetric models with additional space-time dimensions below the unification scale. Assuming the unification of the gauge couplings and using a two-loop calculation…
We discuss higher loop corrections to gauge coupling renormalization in the context of gauge coupling unification via Kaluza-Klein thresholds. We show that in the case N=1 supersymmetric compactifications the one-loop threshold…
We study the effects of additional fields on the unification of gauge couplings in supersymmetric models. We find that the effects are quite constrained by the requirement of SU(5) gauge invariance. In general, we find that any extension of…
