GUT Physics in the era of the LHC

D Croon, TE Gonzalo, L Graf, N Košnik, G White - Frontiers in Physics, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) are one of the most interesting high-energy completions of
the Standard Model, because they provide a rich, powerful and elegant group-theoretical …

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 …

Reduction of couplings and its application in particle physics

S Heinemeyer, M Mondragón, N Tracas, G Zoupanos - Physics Reports, 2019 - Elsevier
The idea of reduction of couplings in renormalizable theories will be presented and then will
be applied in Particle Physics models. Reduced couplings appeared as functions of a …

A three-generation SU (4)× O (4) string model

I Antoniadis, GK Leontaris, J Rizos - Physics Letters B, 1990 - Elsevier
We present a four-dimensional string model whose effective field theory has an O (6)× O (4)
gauge symmetry which is broken to the standard model at a very high scale. The fermions of …

Inflation and monopoles in supersymmetric SU (4) c× SU (2) L× SU (2) R

R Jeannerot, S Khalil, G Lazarides… - Journal of High Energy …, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
We show how hybrid inflation can be successfully realized in a supersymmetric model with
gauge group GPS= SU (4) c× SU (2) L× SU (2) R. By including a non-renormalizable …

Flipped with modular symmetry

G Charalampous, SF King, GK Leontaris, YL Zhou - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We study flipped SU (5)× U (1) grand unified theories (GUTs) with Γ 3≃ A 4 modular
symmetry. We propose two models with different modular weights assignments, where the …

Gravitational waves from a Pati-Salam phase transition

D Croon, TE Gonzalo, G White - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
A bstract We analyse the gravitational wave and low energy signatures of a Pati-Salam
phase transition. For a Pati-Salam scale of M PS∼ 10 5 GeV, we find a stochastic power …

Genetic algorithms and the search for viable string vacua

S Abel, J Rizos - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract Genetic Algorithms are introduced as a search method for finding string vacua with
viable phenomenological properties. It is shown, by testing them against a class of Free …

N= 1 supersymmetric SU (4)× SU (2) L× SU (2) R effective theory from the weakly coupled heterotic superstring

GK Leontaris, J Rizos - Nuclear Physics B, 1999 - Elsevier
In the context of the free-fermionic formulation of the heterotic superstring, we construct a
three-generation N= 1 supersymmetric SU (4)× SU (2) L× SU (2) R model supplemented by …

Yukawa quasi-unification

ME Gómez, G Lazarides, C Pallis - Nuclear Physics B, 2002 - Elsevier
We construct concrete supersymmetric grand unified theories based on the Pati–Salam
gauge group SU (4) c× SU (2) L× SU (2) R which naturally lead to a moderate violation of …
