A natural gradual extension of the idea of Grand Unification is to attempt to relate the gauge and Yukawa couplings; Gauge-Yukawa Unification (GYU). However, within the framework of renormalizable field theories, there exists no realistic…
Recently it has been proposed that, in the framework of quantum field theory, both the Standard Model gauge and Yukawa interactions arise from a single gauge interaction in higher dimensions with supersymmetry. This leads to the unification…
We present the supersymmetric standard model three-loop $\beta$-functions for gauge and Yukawa couplings and consider the effect of three-loop corrections on the standard running coupling analyses.
We calculate the three loop anomalous dimension for a general $N=1$ supersymmetric gauge theory. The result is used to probe the possible existence of renormalisation invariant relationships between the Yukawa and gauge couplings.
We extend our exploration of nonstandard continuum quantum field theories in 2+1 dimensions to 3+1 dimensions. These theories exhibit exotic global symmetries, a peculiar spectrum of charged states, unusual gauge symmetries, and surprising…
In N=1 Supersymmetric gauge theories, we can calculate non-perturbative effects in the superpotential. It is interesting to apply this effect to the phenomenology. We show two models here. One is the low energy supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking…
We study gauge theories with N=1 supersymmetry in 2+1 dimensions. We start by calculating the 1-loop effective superpotential for matter in an arbitrary representation. We then restrict ourselves to gauge theories with fundamental matter.…
We present the exact effective superpotentials in $4d$, $N=1$ supersymmetric $SU(2)$ gauge theories with $N_3$ triplets and $N_2$ doublets of matter superfields. For the theories with a single triplet matter superfield we present the exact…
An introduction to the most important concepts in the subject of supersymmetric unified theories is presented. The emphasis is on the practical aspects leading to state-of-the-art calculations in this renascent subject. The topics covered…
We discuss nonstandard continuum quantum field theories in 2+1 dimensions. They exhibit exotic global symmetries, a subtle spectrum of charged excitations, and dualities similar to dualities of systems in 1+1 dimensions. These continuum…
We explicitly compute the one-loop exact beta function for a nonlocal extension of the standard gauge theory, in particular Yang-Mills and QED. The theory, made of a weakly nonlocal kinetic term and a local potential of the gauge field, is…
We compute template formulae of all four-loop $\beta$-functions and anomalous dimensions of arbitrary renormalisable quantum field theories with fermions and scalar fields in the $\overline{\text{MS}}$ scheme. Using these results, novel…
Four $SU(5)$ $N=1$ supersymmetric models which exhibit $S_3$ and/or $Z_N$ symmetries are studied, that are finite to two or all loops, and their corresponding mass matrices. The first is an all-loop finite model based on an $S_3\times…
The phenomenological implications of a low-energy supersymmetry are surveyed, with particular attention given to unification constraints and the role of a large top quark Yukawa couplings. Generic expectations for sparticle mass spectra are…
We employ the harmonic superspace methods to study a six-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ supersymmetric gauge theory with higher derivatives coupled to a hypermultiplet in the adjoint representation. By introducing a novel non-minimal…
We introduce ABJM quantum field theory in the noncommutative spacetime by using the component formalism and show that it is N=6 supersymmetric. For the U(1)_{\kappa} x U(1)_{-\kappa} case, we compute all one-loop 1PI two and three point…
Finite Unified Theories (FUTs) are N=1 supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories, which can be made all-loop finite, both in the dimensionless (gauge and Yukawa couplings) and dimensionful (soft supersymmetry breaking terms) sectors. This…
In this paper we study 3-form gauge fields in four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric theories. We give the sigma model action together with its Poincare dual action for massless and massive 3-forms. The resulting target space geometries are…
Following our earlier analyses of nonstandard continuum quantum field theories, we study here gapped systems in 3+1 dimensions, which exhibit fractonic behavior. In particular, we present three dual field theory descriptions of the…
We consider a one-loop finite ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric theory in such a renormalization scheme that the first $L$ contributions to the gauge $\beta$-function and the first $(L-1)$ contributions to the anomalous dimension of the matter…
