We unveil a remarkable interplay between rigid field theories (RFTs), charge-to-mass ratios $\gamma$ and scalar curvature divergences $\mathsf{R}_{\rm div}$ in the vector multiplet moduli space of 4d ${\cal N}=2$ supergravities, obtained…

We continue the program by investigating symmetric structures underlying features of the Standard Model. We then expand the symmetry to encompass translations before contraction. A field theory model emerges with the goal of replicating a…

It is shown that a certain sum rule for soft supersymmetry-breaking scalar masses, which has been recently found in a certain class of superstring models, is universal for gauge-Yukawa unified models. To explain this coincidence, we argue…

In this talk I discuss the qualitative features of an SO(10) SUSY GUT with an SU(2)x U(1)$^n$ family symmetry. I then describe the global fit of this theory to precision electroweak data [including charged fermion masses and mixing angles].…

In supersymmetric models, the well-known tension between naturalness and experimental constraints is relieved if the squarks and sleptons of the first two generations are superheavy, with masses of order 10 TeV, and all other superpartners…

By representing the electroweak gauge symmetry group $SU(2) \times U(1)$ by a hypertorus $S_2 \times S_1$, the electroweak mixing angle and the fine structure constant are predicted. By representing neutrinos as oscillating spheroid…

We suggest a new particle model based on the symmetry group $SU(3)_{C}\otimes SU(2)_{L}\otimes SU(2)_{L'}\otimes SU(2)_{R}\otimes U(1)_{B-L}\otimes SU(3)_{F}\otimes U(1)_{N}$. The family symmetry and the high-energy left-handed and…

We study the magnitudes of soft masses in heterotic string models with anomalous U(1) symmetry model-independently. In most cases, D-term contribution to soft scalar masses is expected to be comparable to or dominant over other…

Supersymmetric SU(5) GUT augmented with anomaly free U(1)_F flavor symmetry is presented. Very economical field content and U(1)_F charge assignment are obtained by specific construction. In particular, three families of 10+5* chiral…

The scalar singlet model extends the Standard Model with the addition of a new gauge singlet scalar. We re-examine the limits on the new scalar from oblique parameter fits and from a global fit to precision electroweak observables and…

We consider an electroweak model based on the gauge symmetry SU(2)_L X U(1)_Y' X U(1)_B-L which has right-handed neutrinos with different exotic B-L quantum numbers. Because of this particular feature we are able to write Yukawa terms, and…

Any particle that is charged under $SU(3)_C$ and $U(1)_{EM}$ can mediate the $gg \rightarrow {\gamma}{\gamma}$ process through loops. Near the threshold for the new particle pair production, gauge boson exchanges necessitate the resummation…

We construct realistic supergravity models where supersymmetry breaking arises from the $D$-terms of an anomalous $U(1)$ gauge symmetry broken at the Planck scale. The model has the attractive feature that the gaugino masses, the $A$ and…

We discuss a linear seesaw model with as minimum field content as possible, introducing a modular $S_4$ with the help of gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetries. Due to rank two neutrino mass matrix, we have a vanishing neutrino mass eigenvalue, and…

While the properties of the observed Higgs boson agree with the Standard Model predictions, the hierarchy of fermion masses lacks an explanation within the model. In this work, we propose a fresh approach to this problem, involving a…

A consistent N=1 supersymmetric $\sigma$-model can be constructed, given a K\"ahler manifold by adding chiral matter multiplets. Their scalar components are covariant tensors on the underlying K\"ahler manifold. The K\"ahler U(1)-charges…

We interpret the unimodularity condition in almost commutative geometries as central extensions of spin lifts. In Connes' formulation of the standard model this interpretation allows to compute the hypercharges of the fermions.

In the generalized minimal supergravity (GmSUGRA) scenario, we systematically study the supersymmetry breaking scalar masses, Standard Model fermion Yukawa coupling terms, and trilinear soft terms in SU(5) models with the Higgs fields in…

We compute the exact thermal partition functions of a massive scalar field on flat spacetime backgrounds of the form $\mathbb R^{d-q}\times \mathbb T^{q+1}$ and show that they possess an ${\rm SL}(q+1,\mathbb Z)$ symmetry. Non-trivial…

We construct extensions of the Standard Model in which the gauge symmetries and supersymmetry prevent the dangerously large effects that may potentially be induced in a supersymmetric standard model by Planck scale physics. These include…
