Because there are a few typos in the supersymmetry breaking sfermion masses and trilinear soft term, regarding the current Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and dark matter searches, we revisit a three-family Pati-Salam model based on…
We construct models of warped unification with a bulk SO(10) gauge symmetry and boundary conditions that preserve the SU(4)_C x SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R Pati-Salam gauge group (422). In the dual 4D description, these models are 422 gauge theories…
The assumption that space-time is a noncommutative space formed as a product of a continuous four dimensional manifold times a finite space predicts, almost uniquely, the Standard Model with all its fermions, gauge fields, Higgs field and…
We study D-brane inspired models with U(3) x U(2) x U(1)^N gauge symmetry in the context of split supersymmetry. We consider configurations with one, two and three (N=1,2,3) abelian branes and derive all hypercharge embeddings which imply a…
We construct six stack D6-brane vacua (non-supersymmetric) that have at low energy exactly the standard model (with right handed neutrinos). The construction is based on D6-branes intersecting at angles in $D = 4$ type toroidal orientifolds…
We explore the potential of ultimate unification of the Standard Model matter and gauge sectors into a single $E_8$ superfield in ten dimensions via an intermediate Pati-Salam gauge theory. Through a consistent realisation of a…

We study a non-supersymmetric SO(10) Grand Unification Theory with a very high energy intermediate symmetry breaking scale in which not only gauge but also Yukawa coupling unification are enforced via suitable threshold corrections and…
We study the origin of electroweak symmetry under the assumption that $SU(4)_{\rm C} \times SU(2)_{\rm L} \times SU(2)_{\rm R}$ is realized on a five-dimensional space-time. The Pati-Salam type gauge symmetry is reduced to $SU(3)_{\rm C}…
We investigate Z2 x Z2 orientifolds with group actions involving shifts. A complete classification of possible geometries is presented where also previous work by other authors is included in a unified framework from an intersecting D-brane…
We perform a statistical analysis of supersymmetric intersecting D-brane models on the type II orientifold T^6/Z_6. After providing an analytic proof of the finiteness of the number of possible solutions in this setup we study the frequency…
We construct supersymmetric models of SO(10) unification in which the gauge symmetry is broken by orbifold compactification. We find that using boundary conditions to break the gauge symmetry down to $SU(3)_C \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y…

In light of current constraints from supersymmetry (SUSY) searches within the LHC, as well as findings from direct dark matter detection experiments such as LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), we revisit the three-family Pati-Salam model derived from…
We construct two SU(5) models on the space-time $M^4 \times T^2/(Z_2 \times Z_2^{\prime})$ where the gauge and Higgs fields are in the bulk and the Standard Model fermions are on the brane at the fixed point or line. For the zero modes, the…
We study the 6-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric grand unified theories with gauge group SU(N) and $ SO(M)$ on the extra space orbifolds $T^2/(Z_2)^3$ and $T^2/(Z_2)^4$, which can be broken down to the 4-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric…
The success of SU(5)-like gauge coupling unification boundary conditions $g_3^2=g_2^2=5/3 g_1^2$ has biased most attempts to embed the SM interactions into a unified structure. After discussing the limitations of the orthodox approach, we…
