Grand gauge-Higgs unification of five dimensional SU(6) gauge theory on an orbifold $S^1/Z_2$ with localized gauge kinetic terms is discussed. The Standard model (SM) fermions on the boundaries and some massive bulk fermions coupling to the…
We study grand unified models in the five-dimensional space-time where the extra dimension is compactified on $S^1/Z_2$. The spontaneous breaking of unified gauge symmetries is achieved via vacuum expectation values of the extra-dimensional…
Models based on the extended $SU(3)_{C}\times SU(3)_{L}\times U(1)_{X}$ (331) gauge group usually follow a common pattern: two families of left-handed quarks are placed in anti-triplet representations of the $SU(3)_{L}$ group; the remaining…
We consider N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories based on the group SU(N)_1 x SU(N)_2 x ... x SU(N)_k with matter content (N,N*,1,...,1) + (1,N,N*,..., 1) + >... + (N*,1,1,...,N) as candidates for the unification symmetry of all particles. In…
A novel model embedding the two Higgs doublets in the popular two Higgs doublet models into a doublet of a non-abelian gauge group $SU(2)_H$ is presented. The Standard Model $SU(2)_L$ right-handed fermion singlets are paired up with new…
The observed large mixing angles in the lepton sector may be the first signal for the presence of a non-Abelian family symmetry. However, to obtain the significant differences between the mixing of the neutrino and charged fermion sectors,…
One of the interesting features in unification models and supersymmetric unification models is that the chiral states of quarks and leptons in a family including a right-handed neutrino can be fitted neatly into a fundamental spinor…
We propose a viable theory based on the $SU(3)_C\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)_X$ gauge group supplemented by the $S_4$ discrete group together with other various symmetries, whose spontaneous breaking gives rise to the current SM fermion mass…
We present a phenomenological study of neutral gauge bosons and fermions in an extended Standard model with SU(3)C x SU(4)L x U(1)X gauge symmetry.The model includes gauge bosons and fermions without exotic charges and is distinguished by…
A new procedure is developed which enables one to start from the quark and lepton mass and mixing data at the low scale and construct mass matrices which exhibit simple SO(10) structure at the SUSY GUT scale. This approach is applied to the…
We construct an explicit algebraic realisation of three fermion generations within a single Clifford algebra, transforming under the full Standard Model $SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ gauge group, in which an intrinsic $S_3$ family…
We describe a fit to the charged fermion mass hierarchy using the chiral quantum numbers of the maximal anti-grand unification group $SMG^3 \times U(1)_f$, where $SMG \equiv SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1)$. This fit suggests a set of Higgs…
We show that in a self-consistent preon model, where Standard Model quarks and leptons are three-body composites confined at a metacolor scale Lambda_cr ~ 10^14 GeV, both leptoquarks and the Standard Model gauge group SU(3)_c x SU(2)_L x…
We found an additional symmetry hidden in the fermion and Higgs sectors of the Standard Model. It is connected to the centers of the SU(3) and SU(2) subgroups of the gauge group. A lattice regularization of the whole Standard Model is…
It is well known that the differences between the lepton numbers can be gauged with the Standard Model matter content. Such extended gauge theories, dubbed as the gauged U(1)$_{L_\alpha - L_\beta}$ models, have been widely discussed so far…
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…
It is shown that a supersymmetric SO(10) model extended with fermion singlets can accommodate the observed neutrino masses and mixings as well as generate the desired lepton asymmetry in concordance with the gravitino constraint. A…
We show that maximal atmospheric and large solar neutrino mixing can be implemented in SU(5) gauge theories, by making use of the $U(1)_F$ symmetry associated with a suitably defined family number $F$, together with a $\mathbbm{Z}_2$…
A simple extension of the Standard Model (SM), based on the gauge group $SU(3)_C\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_Y$ with $Y$ being the hypercharge, is considered. We show that, by imposing an approximate global $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R$ custodial…
The renormalization group equations (RGEs) of the mass matrices of quarks and leptons in a SO(10) model with two Higgs scalars in the Yukawa coupling are studied. This model is the minimal model of SUSY and non-SUSY SO(10) GUT which can…
