We consider a non-supersymmetric $E_6$ Grand Unified Theory (GUT) with intermediate trinification symmetry $SU(3)_C \times SU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R \times D$ (D denoted as D-parity for discrete left-right symmetry) and study the effect of…

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…
The semi-simple unification model based on SU(5)_GUT \times U(3)_H gauge group is an interesting extension of the minimal SU(5)_GUT grand unification theory (GUT), since it solves the two serious problems in the standard GUT: the…
It is shown that non-renormalizable gravitational interactions in the Higgs sector of supersymmetric grand unified theories (GUT's) can produce the breaking of the unifying gauge group $G$ at the GUT scale $M_{\rm GUT} \sim 10^{16}$~GeV.…
In the supersymmetric grand unified theories (SUSY GUTs), gauge bosons associated with the unified gauge group induce proton decay. We investigate the proton decay rate via the gauge bosons in the SUSY GUTs under the two situations; one is…

We implement inflation in a supersymmetric SU(5) model with U(1) R-symmetry such that the cosmic microwave anisotropy $\delta T/T$ is proportional to $(M/M_{\rm Planck})^2$, where $M\sim M_{GUT}=2-3\times 10^{16}$ GeV, the SU(5) breaking…
We consider the minimal supersymmetric grand unified model (MSGUT) based on the group $\mathrm{SO}(10)$, and study conditions leading to possible domain wall (DW) formation. It has been shown earlier that the supersymmetry preserving vacuum…
The supersymmetric flipped $SU(6)\times U(1)$ gauge symmetry can arise through compactification of the ten dimensional $E_8\times E_8$ superstring theory. We show how realistic phenomenology can emerge from this theory by supplementing it…
We construct SU(5) SUSY GUT in 5D compactified on S^1/Z_2 orbifold where the matter fields are living in the five dimensional bulk. SU(5) symmetry is broken down to the Standard Model gauge group by the orbifold projection which…
We construct a supersymmetric grand unified model in the framework of a latticized extra dimension. The SU(5) symmetries on the lattice are broken by the vacuum expectation values of the link fields connecting adjacent SU(5) sites, leaving…
