The SU(5) unification-scale relation h_b=h_tau between the b and tau Yukawa couplings severely constrains tan beta and m_t (even more so if h_t=h_b= h_tau holds) in supersymmetric models. We examine the implications of these constraints for…
An analytic computation is given of the generation of Yukawa couplings and of the quark, charged lepton and neutrino masses in the framework of an SO(10) model with a unified Higgs sector consisting of a single pair of vector-spinor $144 +…
The minimal supersymmetric standard model with universal boundary conditions and "asymptotic" Yukawa unification is considered. The full one-loop effective potential for radiative electroweak symmetry breaking as well as the one-loop…
We derive bounds on the Dirac Yukawa couplings of the neutrinos in seesaw models using the recent Large Hadron Collider (LHC) data on Higgs decays for the case where the Standard Model singlet heavy leptons needed for the seesaw mechanism…
In the light of the gathering evidence for $\nu_{\mu}-\nu_{\tau}$ neutrino oscillations, coming in particular from the Super-Kamiokande data on atmospheric neutrinos, we re-analyze the unification of gauge and Yukawa couplings within the…
Recent results for higher-order corrections to the relation between the vector-boson masses in the Standard Model and Supersymmetry are summarized. In the Standard Model, the Higgs-mass dependence of the two-loop contributions to Delta r is…
Arguments coming from Quantum Field Theory are supplemented with a 1-loop perturbative calculation to settle the non-unitarity of mixing matrices linking renormalized mass eigenstates to bare flavor states for non-degenerate coupled…
We consider a scenario in which the discrete weak symmetry between quarks and leptons is extended to the weak force by introducing exotic partners. We conjecture that there exists a hidden discrete symmetry $\tilde{P}$, defining a $Z_2$…
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 aim of this study is to investigate the quadratic divergences using dimensional regularization within the context of the standard model extended by two real scalar singlets (TRSM). This extension provides three neutral scalar fields…
An exploratory numerical study of the influence of heavy fermion doublets on the mass of the Higgs boson is performed in the decoupling limit of a chiral $\rm SU(2)_L \otimes SU(2)_R$ symmetric Yukawa model with mirror fermions. The…
We compute the two-loop QCD corrections to the neutral Higgs-boson masses in the MSSM, including the effect of non-vanishing external momenta in the self-energies. We obtain corrections of O(alpha_t*alpha_s) and O(alpha*alpha_s), i.e., all…
We present a detailed analysis of the rare exclusive Higgs-boson decays into a single vector meson and a photon and investigate the possibility of using these processes to probe the light-quark Yukawa couplings. We work with an effective…
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…
Right handed neutrinos with mass of ${\cal O} \; (10^{12}-10^{13})$ GeV are required to implement the see-saw mechanism and generate neutrino masses capable of playing a role in structure formation. Moreover models of fermion masses often…
Grand Unified Theories based on an E6 gauge group embed all Higgs- and matter fields within one 27 dimensional fundamental representation. In addition each 27 contains a right handed neutrino, an NMSSM-like standard model singlet and a pair…
We propose a variant of the Pati-Salam model, with gauge group $SU(4)_C\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_{Y'}$, in which the chiral left-handed quarks and leptons are unified into a $\underline{4}$ of $SU(4)_C$, while the right-handed quarks and…
One of the puzzles of the SM is the large hierarchy between the Yukawa couplings of different flavours. Yukawa couplings of the first and the second generation are constrained only very weakly so far. However, one can obtain large…
Extended scalar and fermion sectors offer new opportunities for generating the observed strong hierarchies in the fermion mass and mixing patterns of the Standard Model (SM). In this work, we elaborate on the prospects of a particular…
We investigate models where gauge unification (GUT) proceeds in steps that include Pati-Salam symmetry. Beyond the Standard Model, we allow for a well-defined set of small representations of the GUT gauge group. We show that all possible…
