Singling out SO (10) GUT models using recent PTA results

S Antusch, K Hinze, S Saad, J Steiner - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
In this work, we construct promising model-building routes towards SO (10) grand unified
theory inflation and examine their ability to explain the recent pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) …

Superheavy quasistable strings and walls bounded by strings in the light of NANOGrav 15 year data

G Lazarides, R Maji, Q Shafi - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Composite topological structures such as superheavy “quasistable strings”(QSS) and “walls
bounded by strings”(WBS) arise in realistic extensions of the Standard Model of high energy …

Gravitational waves from metastable cosmic strings in the Pati-Salam model in light of new pulsar timing array data

W Ahmed, TA Chowdhury, S Nasri, S Saad - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
A series of pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) recently observed gravitational waves at the
nanohertz frequencies. Motivated by this remarkable result, we present a novel class of Pati …

Inflation, superheavy metastable strings and gravitational waves in non-supersymmetric flipped SU (5)

Motivated by the NANOGrav 15 year data and other recent investigations of stochastic
gravitational background radiation based on pulsar timing arrays, we show how superheavy …

Supersymmetric U (1) BL flat direction and NANOGrav 15 year data

R Maji, W Park - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We show that, when connected with monopoles, the flat D-flat direction breaking the local U
(1) BL symmetry as an extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model can be …

Probing stochastic gravitational wave background from SU (5)× U (1) χ strings in light of NANOGrav 15-year data

W Ahmed, MU Rehman, U Zubair - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
A realistic model of SU (5)× U (1) χ, embedded in SO (10) supersymmetric grand unified
theory, is investigated for the emergence of a metastable cosmic string network. This …

PeV-Scale SUSY and Cosmic Strings from F-term Hybrid Inflation

C Pallis - Universe, 2024 - mdpi.com
We consider F-term hybrid inflation (FHI) and SUSY breaking in the context of a B− L
extension of the MSSM that largely respects a global U (1) R symmetry. The hidden sector …

String-wall composites winding around a torus knot vacuum in an axionlike model

M Eto, T Hiramatsu, I Saito, Y Sakakihara - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We study a simple axionlike model with a charged scalar ϕ and a double-charged scalar ζ of
global U (1) symmetry. A particular feature of our model is that a vacuum manifold is a torus …

Gravitational waves from domain wall collapses and dark matter in the SM with a complex scalar field

HT Pham, E Senaha - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We study a domain wall induced by spontaneously broken Z 2 symmetry and its gravitational
wave signature in the standard model with a complex scalar in connection with dark matter …

Kinetic mixing, proton decay and gravitational waves in SO (10)

R Maji, Q Shafi - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We present an SO (10) model in which a dimension five operator induces kinetic
mixing at the GUT scale between the abelian subgroups U (1) B− L and U (1) R. We discuss …
