Extrapolating the coupling strengths to very high energies, one finds that they do not converge to a single coupling constant, as expected in the simplest gauge theory of Grand Unification, the SU(5) theory. We find that the coupling…
We consider the breaking of the grand unification group $SO(10)$ to the standard model gauge group through several chains containing two intermediate stages. Using the values of the gauge coupling constants at scale $M_Z$ derived from…
We reanalyze precision LEP data and coupling constant unification in the minimal supersymmetric $SU(5)$ model including the evolution of the gaugino masses. We derive general bounds on the primordial gaugino supersymmetry-breaking…
We make a detailed study of the unification of gauge couplings in the MSSM with large extra dimensions. We find some scenarios where unification can be achieved (with the strong coupling constant at the Z mass within one standard deviation…
We explore possibilities of gauge coupling unification in left--right symmetric models with non--minimal particle content. In addition to unification we require the absence of anomalies and sufficient proton lifetime. Numerous previously…
We investigate the prospects to achieve unification of the gauge couplings in models without supersymmetry. We restrict our discussion to $SU(5), SO(10)$ and $E_6$ models that mimic the structure of the Standard Model as much as possible…
We have studied the gauge unification with the recent electroweak data as a function of the higgsino mass. It was shown that if the strong coupling constant is small $\approx 0.11$, consistent picture of gauge unification is not possible in…
I discuss gauge coupling unification in a class of superstring standard--like models, which are derived in the free fermionic formulation. Recent calculations indicate that the superstring unification scale is at $O(10^{18}GeV)$ while the…
The apparent unification of gauge couplings around 10^16 GeV is one of the strong arguments in favor of Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model (SM). In this contribution two new analyses of the gauge coupling running, the latter…
In the minimal supersymmetric standard model, the three gauge couplings appear to unify at a mass scale near $2 \times 10^{16}$ GeV. We investigate the possibility that intermediate scale particle thresholds modify the running couplings so…
The unification of gauge coupling constants in the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM) is unaffected at the one-loop level by the inclusion of additional mass-degenerate SU(5) multiplets. Perturbativity puts an upper limit on the number of…
Convergence of the standard model gauge coupling constants to a common value at around $2\times 10^{16}$ GeV is studied in the context of orbifold theories where the modular symmetry groups for $T$ and $U$ moduli are broken to subgroups of…
The idea of grand unification in a minimal supersymmetric SU(5)xSU(5) framework is revisited. It is shown that the unification of gauge couplings into a unique coupling constant can be achieved at a high-energy scale compatible with proton…
We study the low energy evolution of coupling constants of the standard model and show that gauge coupling unification can be achieved at the electroweak scale with a suitable normalization. We choose the grand unification group to be the…
We consider the possibility of gauge coupling unification within the simplest realizations of the $\mathrm{SU(3)_c \times SU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R \times U(1)_{X}}$ gauge theory. We present a first exploration of the renormalization group…
The apparent unification of gauge couplings in Grand Unified Theories around 10$^{16}$ GeV is one of the strong arguments in favor of Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. In this paper, an analysis of the measurements of the…
The apparent unification of gauge couplings around 10^16 GeV is one of the strong arguments in favor of Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model (SM). In this contribution a new analysis, using the latest experimental data, is…
The string landscape suggests that the supersymmetry breaking scale can be high, and then the simplest low energy effective theory is the Standard Model (SM). We show that gauge coupling unification can be achieved at about 10^{16-17} GeV…
The status of coupling constant unification in the standard model and its supersymmetric extension are discussed. Uncertainties associated with the input coupling constants, $m_{t}$, threshold corrections at the low and high scales, and…
We explore the possibility of achieving one--step unification of the standard model coupling constants within non supersymmetric and supersymmetric gauge models, which at low energies have only the standard particle content. The constraints…
