In this talk I discuss a supersymmetric Pati-Salam model of fermion masses and mixing angles which fits low energy data. The model is then extended to include an inflationary sector which is shown to be consistent with Bicep2-Keck-Planck data. The energy scale during inflation is associated with the PS symmetry breaking scale. Finally, the model is shown to be consistent with the observed baryon-to-entropy ratio necessary for Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. It turns out that only the heaviest right-handed neutrino decays produce the correct sign of the baryon-to-entropy ratio. Nevertheless, we obtain the observed value due to the process of instant preheating.
We consider a supersymmetric (SUSY) Grand Unified Theory (GUT) based on the gauge group G_PS=SU(4)_C x SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R, which incorporates non-minimal chaotic inflation, driven by a quartic potential associated with the Higgs fields involved in the spontaneous breaking of G_PS. The inflationary model relies on renormalizable superpotetial terms and does not lead to overproduction of magnetic monopoles. It is largely independent of the one-loop radiative corrections and can become consistent with the current observational data on the inflationary observables, with the symmetry breaking scale of G_PS assuming its SUSY value. Within our model, the strong CP and the mu problems of the minimal supersymmetric standard model can be resolved via a Peccei-Quinn symmetry. Moreover baryogenesis occurs via non-thermal leptogenesis realized by the out-of-equilibrium decay of the right-handed neutrinos, which are produced by the inflatons decay. We consider t
We implement the mechanism of non-thermal leptogenesis in the framework of an inflationary model based on a supersymmetric (SUSY) Pati-Salam Grand Unified Theory (GUT). In particular, we show that inflation is driven by a quartic potential associated with the Higgs fields involved in the spontaneous GUT symmetry breaking, in the presence of a non-minimal coupling of the inflaton field to gravity. The inflationary model relies on renormalizable superpotential terms and does not lead to overproduction of magnetic monopoles. It is largely independent of one-loop radiative corrections, and it can be consistent with current observational data on the inflationary observables, with the GUT symmetry breaking scale assuming its SUSY value. Non-thermal leptogenesis is realized by the out-of-equilibrium decay of the two lightest right-handed (RH) neutrinos, which are produced by the inflaton decay. Confronting our scenario with the current observational data on light neutrinos, the GUT prediction for the heaviest Dirac neutrino mass, the baryon asymmetry of the universe and the gravitino limit on the reheating temperature, we constrain the masses of the RH neutrinos in the range (10^10-10^15) GeV and the Dirac neutrino masses of the two first generations to values between 0.1 and 20 GeV.
In this paper, we consider a lopsided flavor texture compatible with thermal leptogenesis in partially composite Pati--Salam unification. The Davidson--Ibarra bound $M_{ u R1} gtrsim 10^9$ GeV for the successful thermal leptogenesis can be recast to the Froggatt--Nielsen (FN) charge of the lopsided texture. We found the FN charge $n_{ u1}$ of the lightest right-handed neutrino $ u_{R1}$ can not be larger than a upper bound, $n_{ u1} lesssim 4.5$. From the viewpoint of unification, the FN charges of the neutrinos $n_{ u i}$ should be the same to that of other SM fermions. Then, two cases $n_{ u i} = n_{qi} = (3,2,0)$ and $ n_{ u i} = n_{l i} = (n+1,n,n)$ are considered. Observations of PS model shows that the case of $n=0$, $n_{li} = n_{di} = (1,0,0)$ will be the simplest realization. To decrease the FN charges of these fermions from the GUT invariant FN charges $n_{qi} = (3,2,0)$, we utilize the partial compositeness. In this picture, the hierarchies of Yukawa matrices are a consequence of mixings between massless chiral fermions $f_{L}, f_{R}$ and massive vector fermions $F_{L,R}, F_{L,R}$. This is induced by the linear mixing terms $lambda^{f} bar f_{L} F_{R}$ and $lambda^{f} bar F_{L} f_{R}$. As a result of the partial compositeness, the decreases of FN charges require fine-tunings between mass and Yukawa matrices either for the increases of $lambda^{f, f}$ or for the decreases of $M_{F,F}$. Therefore, the case for $n=2$ and $n_{di} = n_{li} = (3,2,2)$, which requires only increases of FN charges will be appropriate to build a natural model.
We provide what we believe is the minimal three family ${cal N} = 1$ SUSY and conformal Pati-Salam Model from type IIB superstring theory. This $Z_3$ orbifolded AdS$otimes S^5$ model has long lived protons and has potential phenomenological consequences for LHC.
We consider models built on $AdS_5otimes S^5/Gamma$ orbifold compactifications of the type $IIB$ superstring, where $Gamma$ is the abelian group $Z_n$. An attractive three family $mathcal{N}=0$ SUSY model is found for $n=7$ that is a modified Pati--Salam Model which reduced to the Standard Model after symmetry breaking.
