A recent series of works by M. Dubois-Violette, I. Todorov and S. Drenska characterised the SM gauge group GSM as the subgroup of SO(9) that, in the octonionic model of the later, preserves the split O=C+C3 of the space of octonions into a copy of the complex plane plus the rest. This description, however, proceeded via the exceptional Jordan algebras J3(O), J2(O) and and this sense remained indirect. One of the goals of this paper is to provide as explicit description as possible and also clarify the underlying geometry. The other goal is to emphasise the role played by different complex structures in the spaces O and O2. We provide a new characterisation of GSM: The group GSM is the subgroup of Spin(9) that commutes with of a certain complex structure J in the space O2 of Spin(9) spinors. The complex structure J is parametrised by a choice of a unit imaginary octonion. This characterisation of GSM is essentially octonionic in the sense that J is restrictive because octonions are non-associative. The quaternionic analog of J is the complex structure in the space H2 of Spin(5) spinors that commutes with all Spin(5) transformations.

We show how one may classify all semisimple algebras containing the $mathfrak{su}(3)oplus mathfrak{su}(2) oplus mathfrak{u}(1)$ symmetry of the Standard Model and acting on some given matter sector, enabling theories beyond the Standard Model with unification (partial or total) of symmetries (gauge or global) to be catalogued. With just a single generation of Standard Model fermions plus a singlet neutrino, the only {gauge} symmetries correspond to the well-known algebras $mathfrak{su}(5),mathfrak{so}(10),$ and $mathfrak{su}(4)oplus mathfrak{su}(2) oplus mathfrak{su}(2)$, but with two or more generations a limited number of exotic symmetries mixing flavour, colour, and electroweak degrees of freedom become possible. We provide a complete catalogue in the case of 3 generations or fewer and outline how our method generalizes to cases with additional matter.
We construct a supersymmetric standard model in the context of the Z_{12-I} orbifold compactification of the E_8 x E_8 heterotic string theory. The gauge group is SU(3)_c x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y x U(1)^4 x [SO(10) x U(1)^3] with sin^2theta_W = 3/8. We obtain three families of SO(10) spinor-like chiral matter states, and Higgs doublets. All other extra states are exactly vector-like under the standard model gauge symmetry. There are numerous standard model singlets, many of which get VEVs such that only the standard model gauge symmetry survives and desired Yukawa couplings can be generated at lower energies. In particular, all vector-like exotic states achieve superheavy masses and the R-parity can be preserved.
We consider local (or perturbative) gauge anomalies in models which extend the rank of the Standard Model (SM) gauge group and the chiral fermion content only by $n$ SM singlets. We give a general solution to the anomaly cancellation conditions (ACCs) of an additional $U(1)$ subgroup for the ACCs that involve only SM fermions and we examine whether a corresponding solution exists for the remaining ACCs. We show that a solution to the remaining ACCs always exists for $n geq 5$ in the family non-universal case or $n geq 3$ in the family-universal case. In the special case where only a single family carries non-vanishing charges, we find a general solution to all ACCs, for any value of $n$.
We investigate the IR phases of non-supersymmetric (non-SUSY) $SO(N_c)$ gauge theories with $N_F$ fermions in the vector representation obtained by perturbing the SUSY theory with anomaly mediated SUSY breaking (AMSB). We find that of the wide variety of phases appearing in the SUSY theory only two survive: for $N_F<frac{3}{2} (N_c-2)$ the theory confines, breaking the $SU(N_F)$ global symmetry to $SO(N_F)$, while for $frac{3}{2} (N_c-2)<N_F<3(N_c-2)$ the theory flows to a (super)-conformal fixed point. The abelian Coulomb and free magnetic phases do not survive and collapse to the confining phase. We also investigate the behavior of loop operators in order to provide a clear distinction between the confining and screened phases. With the choice of $Spin(N_c)$ for the global structure of the gauge group, we find that the electric Wilson loop indeed obeys an area law, providing one of the first demonstrations of true confinement with chiral symmetry breaking in a non-SUSY theory. We identify monopole condensation as the dynamics underlying confinement. These monopoles arise naturally for $N_F=N_c-2$. The case with smaller number of flavors can be obtained by integrating out flavors, and we confirm numerically that the monopole condensate persists in the presence of AMSB and mass perturbations.
A wide array of deep-inelastic-scattering and hadron collider experiments have tested the predictions of the electroweak theory and measured its parameters, while also searching for new particles and processes. We summarise recent measurements and searches that probe the Standard Model to unprecedented precision.
