The Standard Model (SM) is augmented with a $\mathrm{U}(1)_{B-3L_\mu} $ gauge symmetry spontaneously broken above the TeV scale when an SM-singlet scalar condenses. Scalar leptoquarks $S_{1(3)} = (\overline{\mathbf{3}},\, \mathbf{1}…

Extensions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) gauge group abound in the literature. Several of these include an additional $U(1)_X$ gauge group. Chiral fermions' charge assignments under $U(1)_X$ are constrained to cancel…

In a minimal extension of the Standard Model, in which new neutral fermions have been introduced, we show that the requirement of vanishing anomalies fixes the hypercharges of all fermions uniquely. This naturally leads to electric charge…

We show that the half-maximal SU(2) gauged supergravity with topological mass term admits coupling of an arbitrary number of n vector multiplets. The chiral circle reduction of the ungauged theory in the dual 2-form formulation gives…

We construct realistic supergravity models where supersymmetry breaking arises from the D-terms of an anomalous U(1) gauge symmetry broken at the Planck scale. Effective action for these theories at sub-Planck energies (including higher…

We study N=2 supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory in non(anti)commutative N=2 harmonic superspace with the singlet deformation, which preserves chirality. We construct a Lagrangian which is invariant under both the deformed gauge and…

Upon embedding the axion-inflation in the minimal left-right symmetric gauge extension of the SM with gauge group $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$, [arXiv:2012.11516] proposed a new particle physics model for inflation. In this…

We study ten-dimensional N=2 maximal chiral supergravity in the context of Lie superalgebra SU(8/1). The possible successive superalgebraic truncations from ten dimensional N=2 chiral theory to the lower dimensional supergravity theories…

The $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_N$ model of Pisano and Pleitez extends the Standard Model in a particularly nice way, so that for example the anomalies cancel only when the number of generations is divisible by three. The original…

In theories with chiral couplings, one of the important consistency requirements is that of the cancellation of a gauge anomaly. In particular, this is one of the conditions imposed on the hypercharges in the Standard Model. However,…

The patterns of R violation resulting from imposition of a gauged U(1) horizontal symmetry, on the minimal supersymmetric standard model are systematically analyzed. We concentrate on a class of models with integer U(1) charges chosen to…

We propose an extension of the standard model of quarks and leptons to include gauge $B-L$ symmetry with an exotic array of neutral fermion singlets for anomaly cancellation. With the addition of suitable scalars also transforming under…

I study the scalar representations of the electroweak group of the Standard Model, which is a subgroup of the chiral group U(N)L x U(N)R with N flavours, for N even, with a special emphasis on their chiral properties and on their behaviour…

For d=10 N=1 SUGRA coupled to d=10 N=1 SYM, anomaly cancellation places severe constraints on the allowed gauge groups. Besides the ones known to appear in string theory, only U(1)^496 and E_8 x U(1)^248 are allowed. There are no known…

We study the SU(3)-invariant relevant deformation of D=4 N=4 SU(N) gauge theory at large N using the AdS/CFT correspondence. At low energies, we obtain a nonsupersymmetric gauge theory with three left-handed quarks in the adjoint of SU(N).…

Here we propose models with $SU(2)_L\otimes SU(2)_R\otimes U(1)_{B-L}$ electroweak gauge symmetry in which parity (or charge conjugation) is broken explicitly and the interactions of left- and right-handed fermions are completely different…

We explore the recently proposed gauge symmetry \( SU(3)_C \otimes SU(3)_L \otimes SU(3)_R \otimes U(1)_X \), which naturally embeds both the Left-Right symmetric model and the 3-3-1 model as subgroups. Within this unified framework, we…

We argue a smallness of gauge couplings in abelian quiver gauge theories, taking the anomaly cancellation condition into account. In theories of our interest there exist chiral fermions leading to chiral gauge anomalies, and an anomaly-free…

I build a SU(2)left x U(1) electroweak gauge theory of J=0 mesons, which transform like sets of fermion-antifermion composite fields. SU(2)left x U(1) is embedded in a natural way, compatible with the Glashow-Salam-Weinberg model for…

We describe higher-dimensional theories whose low-energy 4D descriptions contain larger gauge or global symmetry groups. As an example, we construct a Higgsless SU(2) x U(1) model of electroweak symmetry breaking. The 5D SU(2) gauge…
