We study gauge coupling unification and various phenomenological issues, such as baryon number conservation, the $\mu $ problem and neutrino anomalies, within SUSY 5D orbifold models. The 5D MSSM on an $S^{(1)}/Z_2$ orbifold with 'minimal'…

We investigate the Yukawa coupling unification for the third generation in a class of $\mathsf{SO(10)}$ unified models which are consistent with the 4.2 $\sigma$ deviation from the standard model of the muon $g-2$ seen by the Fermilab…
We extend the nonsupersymmetric SO(10) grand unification theories by adding a horizontal symmetry, which connects the three generations of fermions. Without committing to any specific symmetry group, we investigate the 1-loop…

We investigate an $\mathrm{SO}(10)$ grand unification scenario where the complex 10-dimensional scalar multiplet, containing the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson, resides at the TeV scale altogether. The resulting low-energy model is a…

Higher-dimensional theories provide a promising framework for unified extensions of the supersymmetric standard model. Compactifications to four dimensions often lead to U(1) symmetries beyond the standard model gauge group, whose breaking…
We give a classification of 3-family SO(10) and E_6 grand unification in string theory within the framework of conformal field theory and asymmetric orbifolds. We argue that the construction of such models in the heterotic string theory…
In this paper, we investigate predictions of the SO(10) Grand Unified Theory (GUT), where an extra U(1)$^\prime$ gauge symmetry remains up to the supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking scale. The minimal setup of SO(10) GUT unifies quarks and…
We present a renormalizable non supersymmetric Grand Unified SO(10) model which, at the price of a large fine tuning, is compatible with all compelling phenomenological requirements below the unification scale and thus realizes a minimal…
We study a novel six-dimensional gauge theory compactified on the $T^2/{\mathbb Z}_3$ orbifold utilizing the diagonal embedding method. The bulk gauge group is $G\times G\times G$, and the diagonal part $G^{\rm diag}$ remains manifest in…
We discuss two classes of supersymmetric grand unified theories based on extended gauge groups $SO(10) \times SO(10)$ and $SO(10)\times SO(10)\times SO(10)$. Effective adjoint fields of each gauge group SO(10) are argued to be formed from…

We consider the breaking of the grand unification group $SO(10)$ to the standard model gauge group through several chains containing two intermediate stages. Using the values of the gauge coupling constants at scale $M_Z$ derived from…
We construct the SU(5) and SO(10) models from F-theory. Turning on the U(1) fluxes, we can break the SU(5) gauge symmetry down to the Standard Model (SM) gauge symmetry, and break the SO(10) gauge symmetry down to the SU(3)_C X SU(2)_L X…

We present realistic models of flavor in SU(5) and SO(10) grand unified theories (GUTs). The models are renormalizable and do not require any exotic representations in order to accommodate the necessary GUT breaking effects in the Yukawa…
