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…
In this work, we attempt to answer the question, "What is the minimal viable renormalizable $SU(5)$ GUT with representations no higher than adjoints?". We find that an $SU(5)$ model with a pair of vectorlike fermions $5_F+\overline{5}_F$,…
On Type IIA orientifolds with flux compactifications in supersymmetric AdS vacua, we for the first time construct SU(5) models with three anti-symmetric {\bf 10} representations and without symmetric {\bf 15} representations. We show that…
We derive a one-loop expression, including all thresholds, for the mass of the proton decay mediating color triplets, $M_{D^c}$, in minimal supersymmetric SU(5). The result for $M_{D^c}$ does not depend on other heavy thresholds or extra…
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 study and classify $SU(5)$-GUT completions of accidental composite dark matter models. These theories postulate new vectorlike confining dark color dynamics and give an accidentally stable baryonic dark matter candidate. In realistic…
We explore the gauge coupling relations and the unification scale in F-theory SU(5) GUT broken down to the Standard Model by an internal U(1)Y gauge flux. We consider variants with exotic matter representations which may appear in these…
We propose a model which unifies the Left-Right symmetry with the $SU(3)_L$ gauge group, called flipped trinification, and based on the $SU(3)_C\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes SU(3)_R\otimes U(1)_X$ gauge group. The model inherits the interesting…
We discuss the potential of future proton decay experiments on the exploration of the flavour space of grand unification. We focus on an economical $SU(5)$ grand unified model (GUT) with the fermion sector extended by including only one…
On the basis of a previous analysis of hyperon semi-leptonic decay data, a prediction is presented for g_1/f_1 in the Xi^0 -> Sigma^+ e nu-bar beta-decay. The analysis takes into account SU(3) breaking in this sector via the inclusion of…
We investigate the possibility of observable proton decay within the improved missing doublet model (IMDM75), which utilizes a Higgs in 75 representation for $SU(5)$ gauge symmetry breaking. The realization of observable proton decay in…
We discuss ideal delocalization of fermions in a bulk SU(2) x SU(2) x U(1) Higgsless model with a flat or warped extra dimension. So as to make an extra dimensional interpretation possible, both the weak and hypercharge properties of the…
We present a first look at the spectroscopy of SU(4) gauge theory coupled to two flavors of Dirac fermions in the two-index antisymmetric representation, which is a real representation. We compute meson and diquark masses, the pseudoscalar…
We examine gauge coupling unification and prediction for $\alpha_s (M_Z)$ in minimal flipped SU(5) with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking. We include threshold corrections at weak scale, messenger scale and unification scale, and…
In this work we propose a renormalizable model based on the $SU(5)$ gauge group where neutrino mass originates at the two-loop level without extending the fermionic content of the Standard Model (SM). Unlike the conventional $SU(5)$ models,…
We show that in the framework of grand unified theory (GUT) with anomalous $U(1)_A$ gauge symmetry, the success of the gauge coupling unification in the minimal SU(5) GUT is naturally explained, even if the mass spectrum of superheavy…
We investigate the low energy properties of an effective local model with flipped $SU(5)\times U(1)_{\chi}$ gauge group, constructed within the framework of F-theory. Its origin is traced back to the $SO(10)$ symmetry -- associated with a…
We propose a model based on the $SU(5)$ grand unification with an extra $Z_{2}\otimes Z_{2}^{\prime}\otimes Z_{2}^{\prime \prime}\otimes Z_{4}\otimes Z_{12}$ flavor symmetry, which successfully describes the observed SM fermion mass and…
We discuss the first string theory examples of three generation non-supersymmetric SU(5) and {\em flipped} SU(5) GUTS, which break to the Standard model at low energy, without extra matter and/or gauge group factors. Our GUT examples are…
In this paper we construct supersymmetric flipped SU(5) GUTs from E_8 singularities in F-theory. We start from an SO(10) singularity unfolded from an E_8 singularity by using an SU(4) spectral cover. To obtain realistic models, we consider…
