We systematically study the minimal supersymmetric Pati-Salam theory, paying special attention to the unification constraints. We find that the SU(4)_c scale M_c and the Left-Right scale M_R lie in the range 10^{10} GeV < M_c < 10^{14} GeV,…
We compute the threshold uncertainties due to unknown masses of the Higgs bosons on the predictions for the intermediate and unification scales, $M_I$ and $M_U$ respectively in SO(10) models.We focus on models with separate breaking scales…
We show that intermediate scales in supersymmetric grand unified theories may exist naturally. Their origin is traced to the violation of the survival principle: in supersymmetry internal symmetries often forbid cubic couplings in the…
We apply the perturbative grand unification due to renormalization to distinguish TeV-scale relics of supersymmetric $\rm{SO}(10)$ scenarios. With rational theoretical constraints taken into account, we find that for the breaking pattern of…
We study the supersymmetric spontaneous symmetry breaking of SO(10) into SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) for the most physically interesting cases of SU(5) or flipped SU(5)xU(1) intermediate symmetries. The first case is more easily realized while the…
The existence of an SU(3) X SU(2)_L X SU(2)_R X U(1) gauge symmetry with g_L = g_R at the TeV energy scale is shown to be consistent with supersymmetric SO(10) grand unification at around 1O^{16} GeV if certain new particles are assumed.…
Non-supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theories provide a framework in which the stability of dark matter is explained while gauge coupling unification is realized. In this work, we systematically study this possibility by classifying…
A low intermediate scale within minimal supersymmetric SO(10) GUTs is a desirable feature to accommodate leptogenesis. We explore this possibility in models where the intermediate gauge symmetry breaks spontaneously by (a) doublet Higgs…
We perform a detailed study of the grand unified theories $SO(10)$ and $E(6)$ with left-right intermediate gauge symmetries of the form $SU(N)_L\otimes SU(N)_R \otimes \mathcal{G}$. Proton decay lifetime constrains the unification scale to…
In supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified models, we examine the lepton flavor violation process $\mu \rightarrow e\gamma$ from having the SU(2)$_R\times $U(1)$_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry broken at an intermediate scale $M_I$ below the SO(10) grand…
In Calabi-Yau superstring models it is found that two large intermediate energy scales of symmetry breaking can be induced for special types of the nonrenormalizable interactions. In the models one set of $SO(10)$-singlet, right-handed…
We studied a left-right symmetric model that can accommodate the neutrino dark energy (\nd) proposal. Type III seesaw mechanism is implemented to give masses to the neutrinos. After explaining the model, we study the consistency of the…
We present a minimal renormalizable non-supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified model with a symmetry breaking sector consisting of Higgs fields in the 54_H + 126_H + 10_H representations. This model admits a single intermediate scale…
With minimal field content and for an interesting range of the supersymmetric Higgs mixing parameter, 0.5 < tan^2 \beta < 2, the superpartner mass scale, \tilde{m}, is found to be at the intermediate scale, ~ 10^{10 \pm 1} GeV, near where…
We demonstrate to two-loop order that an intermediate symmetrically embedded Pati-Salam $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times SU(4)$ level of symmetry is all that is necessary to accommodate empirical values of $\alpha(M_z), \alpha_s(M_z)$ and…
We consider a supersymmetric model motivated by a SO(10) grand unified theory: the gauge sector near the supersymmetry scale consists of SU(3)_c x SU(2)_L x U(1)_R x U(1)_{B-L}. We embed this model in minimal gauge mediation and incorporate…
The supersymmetric (SUSY) minimal SO(10) model is a well-motivated grand unified theory, where the Standard Model (SM) fermions have Yukawa couplings with only one ${\bf 10}$-plet and one $\overline{\bf 126}$-plet Higgs fields and it is…
We investigate a large class of supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theories within the framework of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking. We start with the most general messenger sector and imbedd the standard model gauge group into…
In this paper we explore the possibility of intermediate scale physics in the context of superstring models with {\it higher Kac-Moody levels}, by focusing on left-right and Pati-Salam symmetries. We find that the left-right scale may lie…
