We present a generalization of the non-Abelian version of the $CP^{N-1}$ models (also known as Grassmannian models) that involve composite gauge fields to accommodate partial breaking of the non-Abelian gauge symmetry. For this to be…

We reconsider the issue of spontaneous symmetry breaking in SO(10) grand unified theories. The emphasis is put on the quest for the minimal Higgs sector leading to a phenomenologically viable breaking to the standard model gauge group.…

We construct supersymmetric models of SO(10) unification in which the gauge symmetry is broken by orbifold compactification. We find that using boundary conditions to break the gauge symmetry down to $SU(3)_C \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y…

We consider six-dimensional supergravity with gauge group $SO(10)\times U(1)_A$, compactified on the orbifold $T^2 / \mathbb{Z}_2$. Three quark-lepton generations arise as zero modes of a bulk $\bf16$-plet due to magnetic flux of the…

A generalization of the non-Abelian version of the $CP^{N-1}$ models (also known as Grassmannian models) is presented. The generalization helps accommodate a partial breaking of the non-Abelian gauge symmetry. Constituents of the composite…

We consider supersymmetric SO(10) grand unification where the unified gauge group can break to the Standard Model gauge group through different chains. The breaking of SO(10) necessarily involves the reduction of the rank, and consequent…

We embed the flipped SU(5) models into the SO(10) models. After the SO(10) gauge symmetry is broken down to the flipped SU(5) \times U(1)_X gauge symmetry, we can split the five/one-plets and ten-plets in the spinor \mathbf{16} and…

Chiral symmetry breaking parameters are calculated in quenched SU(2) gauge theory and with Abelian gauge fields projected in maximal Abelian gauge and in field strength gauge. Maximal Abelian gauge projected fields lead to chiral condensate…

We demonstrate that $SO(N_{c})$ gauge theories with matter fields in the vector representation confine due to monopole condensation and break the $SU(N_{F})$ chiral symmetry to $SO(N_{F})$ via the quark bilinear. Our results are obtained by…

A new SO(10) unified model is proposed based on a one step breaking of SO(10) to the Standard Model gauge group $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)_Y$ using a single 144 of Higgs. The symmetry breaking occurs when the SU(5) 24-plet component of…

I review some recent results on the Higgs sector of minimal SO(10) grand unified theories both with and without supersymmetry. It is shown that nonsupersymmetric SO(10) with just one adjoint triggering the first stage of the symmetry…

We investigate the SO(10)-unification model in a Lie algebraic formulation of noncommutative geometry. The SO(10)-symmetry is broken by a 45-Higgs and the Majorana mass term for the right neutrinos (126-Higgs) to the standard model…

We identify the space of symplectic deformations of maximal gauged supergravity theories. Coordinates of such space parametrize inequivalent supergravity models with the same gauge group. We apply our procedure to the SO(8) gauging,…

We explicitly show the analogy between the symmetry breaking scheme for the GUT flipped $SU(5)$ with that of the Weinberg-Salam theory of electroweak interactions. This allows us to construct the embedded defect spectrum of the theory…

In this article, we bypass the detailed symmetry breaking pathways established in [1]. Instead, a direct route from the Spin(10) model to the Standard Model is enabled via a single algebraic constraint. This single constraint, however, may…

We revisit the chiral spectra on charged 1- and 5-branes in the 10d non-supersymmetric $\mathfrak{sp}(16)$ string theory (also known as the Sugimoto model), and verify that they consistently cancel the anomaly inflow induced by a…

We show that as in the flipped SU(5) models, doublet-triplet splitting is realized by the missing partner mechanism in the flipped SO(10) models. The gauge group $SO(10)_F\times U(1)_{V'_F}$ includes $SU(2)_E$ gauge symmetry, that plays an…

We uncover a rich microphysical structure for SO(10) cosmic strings. For the abelian string the electroweak symmetry is restored around it in a region depending on the electroweak scale. A rich structure of nonabelian strings is found. Some…

The Yukawa interactions of the SO(10) GUT with fermions in 16-plets (as well as with singlets) have certain intrinsic ("built-in") symmetries which do not depend on the model parameters. Thus, the symmetric Yukawa interactions of the 10 and…

An analysis of the couplings of the 210 dimensional SO(10) vector multiplet to matter is given. Specifically we give an $SU(5)\times U(1)$ decomposition of the vector couplings $\bar{16}_{\pm}-16_{\pm}-210$, where $16_{\pm}$ is the…
