167. Discrete symmetries and the mu term in G2-MSSM

Ran Lu (University of Michigan (US))

Strings & GUTs

parallel talk

I will discuss the anomalies free discrete symmetries in M theory compactified on a G2 manifold, the transformation of moduli and matter fields under these symmetries and estimation the size of the mu term in G2-MSSM as an application

140. Higgs and Top Quark Mass from Yukawa Unification

Strings & GUTs

parallel talk

We present a class of supersymmetric SO(10) models with t-b-tau Yukawa coupling unification condition, with emphasis on the prediction of the Higgs and top quark mass. We discuss qualitative features in this model that lead to a Higgs mass prediction close to 125 GeV and top quark mass prediction 173 GeV.

99. Top SU(5) models: Baryon and Lepton Number Violating Resonances at the LHC

Strings & GUTs

parallel talk

We propose the minimal and renormalizable non-supersymmetric top SU(5) models where the SU(5)*SU(3)c* SU(2)L*U(1)Y gauge symmetry is broken down to the Standard Model(SM) gauge symmetry at the TeV scale. The first two families of the SM fermions are charged under SU(3)c*SU(2)L*U(1)Y while the third family is charged under SU(5).In the minimal top SU(5) model, we show that the quark CKM mixing...

10. Testing No-Scale F-SU(5) at the LHC

Prof. Joel W. Walker (Sam Houston State University)

Strings & GUTs

parallel talk

The No-Scale F-SU(5) model is built upon the tri-podal foundations of i) the Flipped SU(5) Grand Unified Theory, ii) extra TeV-scale vectorlike particle multiplets consistent with an F-Theory origin, and iii) the dynamic boundary conditions of No-Scale Supergravity. This model possesses the rather unique capacity to provide a light CP-even Higgs boson mass in the favored 124-126 GeV window...

165. Doublet-Triplet Mass Splitting and Proton Decay in SU(5) SUSY GUT with Noncompact Horizontal Symmetry

Naoki Yamatsu (Indiana University)

07/05/2013, 17:45

Strings & GUTs

parallel talk

I will talk about an SU(5) SUSY GUT model with a noncompact horizontal symmetry SU(1,1). Especially, I will explain how to realize doublet-triplet mass splitting via the spontaneous symmetry breaking of the horizontal symmetry and also how to suppress the proton decay derived from the colored higgses. This talk is based on a paper arXiv:1304.5215 [hep-ph].

161. The Higgs mass, supergroups and the emergence of new physics at the TeV scale

Strings & GUTs

parallel talk

We investigate the physical implications of formulating the electroweak (EW) part of the Standard Model (SM) in terms of a superconnection involving the supergroup SU(2/1). In particular, we relate the observed Higgs mass to new physics at around 4 TeV. The ultraviolet incompleteness of the superconnection approach points to its emergent nature. The new physics beyond the SM is associated with...
