Within the general framework of using spontaneous CP violation to solve the strong CP problem, we construct a variant Nelson-Barr model in which the Standard Model (SM) quark contribution to the strong CP phase is cancelled by new heavy…

We consider a minimal renormalizable non-supersymmetric $E_6$ Grand Unified Theory using fundamental representation $27$ for fermions and scalars. The scalar with adjoint representation ${78}$ is also taken for direct breaking of $E_{6}$ to…

The group E_6 for grand unification is combined with the generation symmetry group SO(3) x Z(2). The coupling matrices in the Yukawa interaction are identified with the vacuum expectation values of scalar flavons. The symmetric part of this…

The grand unified group $E_6$~is a predictive scheme for physics beyond the standard model (SM). It offers the possibility of extra $Z$ bosons, new vector-like fermions, sterile neutrinos, and neutral scalars in addition to the SM Higgs…

The Standard Model has three generations of fermions and although it does not contain any explicit reason for this, the existence of additional generations is now very constrained by experiment. Present measurements are saturating…

A model of the axion-less solution to the strong CP problem has been recently constructed based on the $\bf T^2/\mathbb{Z}_3$ orbifold in the six dimensional space-time. We extend, in this paper, the model to include the lepton sector with…

We develop a universal seesaw version of the Pati-Salam model wherein quarks and leptons of each family are unified into common multiplets transforming as $\psi_L(2,1,4))+ \psi_R((1,2,4)$ under the $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times SU(4)_c$…

We introduce a simple scenario where, by starting with a five-dimensional SU(3) gauge theory, we end up with several 4-D parallel branes with localized fermions and gauge fields. Similar to the split fermion scenario, the confinement of…

We discuss new-type grand unified theories based on grand unified groups broken to their special subgroups as well as their regular subgroups. In the framework, when we construct four-dimensional (4D) chiral gauge theories, i.e., the…

We describe a supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory based on the gauge group $\SU(5)^3$, or $\SO(10)^3$, invariant under the interchange of any~SU(5), or~SO(10), with each family multiplet transforming non trivially under one different…

We investigate Higgs Parity Unification-a realization of $SO(10)$ grand unification based on the Higgs Parity mechanism in which the Standard Model (SM) Higgs resides in a spinor representation. The theory has an intermediate left-right…

The quark and lepton mass patterns upset their naive unification. In this paper, a new approach to solve this problem is proposed. Model-independently, we find that a successful unification can be achieved. A mechanism is identified by…

One possible solution to the strong CP problem is that CP is an exact symmetry, spontaneously broken at some scale. Some years ago, Nelson and Barr suggested a mechanism for obtaining $\theta=0$ at tree level in this framework, and showed…

The fermion mass problem is briefly reviewed. The observed hierarchy of quark and charged lepton masses strongly suggests the existence of an approximately conserved chiral flavour symmetry beyond the Standard Model. It is argued that in…

We find that spontaneously broken parity (P) or left-right symmetry stabilizes dark matter in a beautiful way. If dark matter has a non-real intrinsic parity \pm i (e.g. Majorana fermions), parity can ensure that it cannot decay to all…

We construct a model with a SU(3) X U(1) horizontal symmetry in the context of Grand Unified Theories. In our models, the bi-maximal lepton mixing and suitable neutrino masses for the large angle MSW solution are obtained without any…

We propose a novel solution to the Strong CP problem -- to explain why SU(3) strong force has a nearly zero theta angle $\bar\theta_3 \simeq 0$ for the 4d Standard Model (SM). The new ingredient is Symmetric Mass Generation (SMG):…

Electroweak interactions based on a gauge group $\rm SU(3)_L \times U(1)_X$, coupled to the QCD gauge group $\rm SU(3)_c$, can predict the number of generations to be multiples of three. We first try to unify these models within SU(N)…

If the standard model of quarks and leptons is extended to include three singlet right-handed neutrinos, then the resulting fermion structure admits an infinite number of anomaly-free solutions with just one simple constraint. Well-known…

Recently a new mechanism has been proposed to cure the problem of fermion mass hierarchy in the Standard Model (SM) model. In this scenario, all SM charged fermions other than top quark arise from higher dimensional operators involving the…
