Properties and experimental predictions of a broad class of supergravity grand unified models possessing an $SU(5)$-type proton decay and $R$ parity are described. Models of this type can be described in terms of four parameters at the Gut…
Simple SO(10) Higgs models with the adjoint representation triggering the grand-unified symmetry breaking, discarded a long ago due to inherent tree-level tachyonic instabilities in the physically interesting scenarios, have been recently…
We consider a supersymmetric version of the recently proposed SU(3) X U(1) extended gauge model. We show that it is possible to have only two Higgs doublets at the SU(2) X U(1) energy scale but they are not those of the minimal…
We revisit the Missing Doublet Model (MDM) as a means to address the apparent difficulties of the minimal $SU(5)$ supergravity model in dealing with the doublet-triplet splitting problem, the prediction of $\alpha_3(M_Z)$, and the proton…
Several phenomenological and cosmological aspects of a minimal extension of the Georgi-Glashow model, where the Higgs sector is composed by 5_H, 15_H, and 24_H, are studied. It is shown that the constraints coming from the unification of…
We construct a supersymmetric left-right model in four dimension with gauge-Higgs unification starting from a SU(3)_c x SU(4)_w x U(1)_{B-L} gauge symmetry in five dimension. The model has several interesting features, such as, the CKM…

We present a comprehensive analysis of the Higgs boson spectra in several versions of the supersymmetric left--right model based on the gauge symmetry $SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$. A variety of symmetry breaking…
We show that gauge coupling unification in SUSY models can make a non-trivial interconnection between collider and proton decay experiments. Under the assumption of precise gauge coupling unification in the MSSM, the low energy SUSY…
We propose a new possibility to reconcile the coupling unification scenario with the triplet-doublet mass splitting based on a 5-dimensional supersymmetric model with SU(5) gauge symmetry. It is shown that the minimal supersymmetric…
We scrutinize the physical viability of the minimal non-supersymmetric $\mathrm{SO}(10)$ GUT with the scalar sector $\mathbf{45}\oplus\mathbf{126}\oplus\mathbf{10}_{\mathbb{C}}$, in which the unified symmetry is broken by the former two…
We propose the $SU(3)_C\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)_X$ model arising from $SU(6)$ breaking. One family of the Standard Model (SM) fermions arises from two $\bar{6}$ representations and one $15$ representation of $SU(6)$ gauge symmetry. To…
In the 3-family grand unified string models constructed so far, there is only one adjoint (and no higher dimensional representation) Higgs field in the grand unified gauge group. In this preliminary analysis, we address the proton-decay…
We investigate the phenomenology of a model based on the $SU(3)_c\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)_X$ gauge theory, the so-called 331 model. In particular, we focus on the Higgs sector of the model which is composed of three $SU(3)_L$ triplet Higgs…
We propose a minimal supersymmetric Twin Higgs model that can accommodate tuning of the electroweak scale for heavy stops better than 10% with high mediation scales of supersymmetry breaking. A crucial ingredient of this model is a new…
We present phenomenological study of the most minimal realistic $SU(5)$ model that owns its predictivity solely to the gauge symmetry and the representational content. The model is built entirely out of the fields residing in the first five…
We present the results of an extensive exploration of the five-dimensional parameter space of the minimal $SU(5)$ supergravity model, including the constraints of a long enough proton lifetime ($\tau_p>1\times10^{32}\y$) and a small enough…
We derive in detail a condition on the Higgs mass parameters that is necessary for the recently proposed ``split supersymmetry'' (split SUSY) scenario to provide a realistic magnitude of $\tan \beta$. The nature of this condition can be…
We make an explicit formulation for the proton decay rate in the minimal renormalizable supersymmetric (SUSY) SO(10) model. In this model, the Higgs fields consist of ${\bf 10}$ and ${\bf \bar{126}}$ SO(10) representations in the Yukawa…
We consider a realistic example of supersymmetric grand unification based on $SU(3)_c \times SU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R$ in which the electroweak (EW) higgs doublets are `light' as a consequence of the `pseudogoldstone' mechanism. We discuss…
