We attempt to reconcile seemingly conflicting experimental results on the Higgs boson mass, the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, null results in search for supersymmetry at the LHC within the 8\TeV data and results from $B$-physics,…
Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model with small R-parity and lepton number violating couplings are naturally consistent with primordial nucleosynthesis, thermal leptogenesis and gravitino dark matter. We consider supergravity…
We investigate models of supersymmetric grand unification based on the gauge group SU(5). We consider models with non-universal gaugino masses and confront them with low energy constraints, including the Higgs boson mass and the Dark Matter…
The dark dimension scenario, predicting one extra mesoscopic dimension in the micron range, has emerged by applying various Swampland principles to the dark energy. In this note we find that realizing the grand unification of gauge forces…
The Standard Model indicates the realization of grand unified structures in nature, and can only be viewed as an effective theory below a higher energy cutoff. While the renormalizable Standard Model forbids proton decay mediating operators…
A review is given of recent developments on the implications of supergravity grand unification with SU(5)-type proton decay under the condition $M_{H_3} /m_G < 10$ (where $M_{H_3}$ is the Higgs triplet mass) and the naturalness condition…
We revisit proton decay via the color-triplet Higgs multiplets in the minimal supersymmetric grand unified model with heavy sfermions. Although the model has been believed to be excluded due to the too short lifetime of proton, we have…
We make a detailed analysis on the proton decay in a supersymmetric SO(10) model proposed by K.Babu, I.Gogoladze, P.Nath, and R. Syed. We introduce quark mixing, and find that this model can generate fermion mass without breaking the…
We present a minimal Grand Unified Theory model, based on $SU(5)$ gauge symmetry and a global $U(1)$ Peccei-Quinn symmetry, that predicts the existence of an ultralight axion dark matter within a narrow mass range of…
We explore unification and natural supersymmetry in a five dimensional extension of the standard model in which the extra dimension may be large, of the order of 1-10 TeV. Power law running generates a TeV scale A_ term allowing for the…
Product group unification is an attractive alternative to simple grand unification. It solves the infamous doublet-triplet splitting problem and the dimension-5 proton decay problems without introducing any fine-tuning. Furthermore, the…
We study the gauge coupling unification (GCU) and proton decay in a non-supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theory (GUT) incorporating a 45 representation Higgs field. Our analysis is based on the assumption that Georgi-Jarlskog-type mass…
Non-supersymmetric grand unified theories based on SU(5) have had a revival during the past years. This is mainly due to their ability to connect neutrino masses with unification and proton decay. In that way they provide a framework for…
Grand gauge-Higgs unification of five dimensional $SU(6)$ gauge theory on an orbifold $S^1/Z_2$ is discussed. The Standard model (SM) fermions are introduced on one of the boundaries and some massive bulk fields are also introduced so that…
We propose a simple renormalizable grand unified theory based on the $SU(5)$ gauge symmetry where the neutrino masses are generated at the quantum level through the Zee mechanism. In this model the same Higgs needed to correct the mass…
We explore GxG unified theories with the visible and the hidden or dark sectors paired under a Z2 symmetry. Developing a system of 'asymmetric symmetry breaking' we motivate such models on the basis of their ability to generate dark baryons…
We consider the interplay of the muon $g-2$ anomaly and the proton decay in the SUSY SU(5) GUTs with generation-independent scalar soft masses. In these scenarios, we introduce a number of $\bf 5+{\bar 5}$ messenger fields with…
We review minimal realistic grand unified models based on $SU(5)$ and $SO(10)$ gauge groups. The models with small Higgs representations and higher dimensional operators - under the assumption of no cancellations in proton decay amplitudes…
The current status of gauge unification is surveyed both in the standard model and its minimal supersymmetric extension. Implications for proton decay, Yukawa unification, and the Higgs mass are described.
Motivated by recent observations from Pamela, Fermi and H.E.S.S., we consider dark matter decays in the framework of supersymmetric SU(5) grand unification theories. An SU(5) singlet S is assumed to be the main component of dark matters,…
