We study the impact of the Yukawa interaction in the large-$N_f$ limit to the abelian gauge theory. We compute the coupled $\beta$-functions for the system in a closed form at $\mathcal{O}(1/N_f)$.
Extensions of the MSSM generically feature gauge singlet Higgs bosons. These singlet Higgs bosons have tan(beta)-enhanced Yukawa couplings to down-type quarks and leptons at the one-loop level. We present an effective Lagrangian…
Quantum weakdynamics (QWD) as an SU(3)_I gauge theory with the Theta vacuum term is considered to be the unification of the electroweak interaction as an SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y gauge theory. The grand unification of SU(3)_I x SU(3)_C beyond the…

We present the results for three-loop beta-functions for Yukawa couplings of heavy Standard Model fermions calculated within the unbroken phase of the model. The calculation is carried out with the help of the MINCER program in a general…
Grand unified theories often predict unification of Yukawa couplings (e.g., $h_{b} = h_{\tau}$), and thus certain relations among fermion masses. The latter can distinguish these from models that predict only coupling constant unification.…
The effective bottom Yukawa couplings are analyzed for the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model at two-loop accuracy within SUSY-QCD. They include the resummation of the dominant corrections for large values of tg(beta).…
The unification of gauge and Yukawa couplings within the minimal supersymmetric standard model is studied at the two loop level. We derive an expression for the effective scale, $T_{SUSY}$, which characterizes the supersymmetric particle…
We analyse quantum properties of ${\cal N}=2$ and ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories formulated in terms of ${\cal N}=1$ superfields and investigate the conditions imposed on a renormalization prescription under which the…
We obtain the $\beta$-functions for the two dimensionless couplings of a 4d renormalizable scalar field theory with cubic and quartic 4-derivative interactions. Both couplings can be asymptotically free in the UV, and in some cases also in…
Unparticles charged under a gauge group can contribute to the running of the gauge coupling. We show that a scalar unparticle of scaling dimension d contributes to the \beta function a term that is (2-d) times that from a scalar particle in…
We investigate the effect of supersymmetric (SUSY) threshold corrections on the values of the running quark and charged lepton masses at the GUT scale within the large $\tan\beta$ regime of the MSSM. In addition to the typically dominant…
We analyze Yukawa unification in the the context of $E_8\times E_8$ heterotic Calabi-Yau models which rely on breaking to a GUT theory via a non-flat gauge bundle and subsequent Wilson line breaking to the standard model. Our focus is on…
This PhD thesis is devoted to show that differential renormalization is a simple and useful renormalization method that we can use when dealing with gauge theories. In this work, it is shown how the one-loop results of Constraint…
We investigate three different possibilities for improving the fermion mass relations that arise in grand unified theories (GUTs). Each scenario relies on supersymmetric loop effects alone, without modifying the naive Yukawa unification.…
