The clockwork mechanism, which can naturally explain the origin of small numbers, is implemented in $SO(10)$ grand unified theories to address the origin of hierarchies in fermion masses and mixings. We show that a minimal Yukawa sector involving a $10_H$ and $overline{126}_H$ of Higgs bosons, extended with two clockwork chains consisting of $16+overline{16}$ vector-like fermions, can explain the hierarchical patterns with all the Yukawa couplings being of order one. Emergence of a realistic mass spectrum does not require any symmetry that distinguishes the three generations. We develop clockwork-extended $SO(10)$ GUTs both in the context of SUSY and non-SUSY frameworks. Implementation of the mechanism in non-SUSY scenario assumes a Peccei-Quinn symmetry realized at an intermediate scale, with the clockwork sector carrying non-trivial charges, which solves the strong CP problem and provides axion as a dark matter candidate.

We report on a detailed analysis of a SO(10) SUSY GUT model of Dermisek and Raby (DR) with a D3 family symmetry. The model is completely specified in terms of only 24 parameters and is able to successfully describe both quark and lepton masses and mixings, except for |Vub| that turns out to be too low. However, a global fit shows that flavor changing (FC) processes like Bs --> mu+ mu-, Bs-mixing, B+ --> tau+ nu, B --> Xs gamma and B --> Xs l+ l- pose a serious problem to the DR model. The simultaneous description of these FC processes forces squarks to have masses well above 1 TeV, not appealing on grounds of naturalness and probably beyond the reach of the LHC.
SO(10) GUT models with only small Higgs fields use higher-dimensional operators to generate realistic fermion mass matrices. In particular, a Higgs field in the spinor representation, 16^d_H, acquires a weak scale vev. We include the weak vev of the corresponding field bar{16}^u_H and investigate the effect on two successful models, one by Albright and Barr (AB) and another by Babu, Pati and Wilczek (BPW). We find that the BPW model is a particular case within a class of models with identical fermion masses and mixings. In contrast, we expect corrections to the parameters of AB-type models.
Within the supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theory (GUT), a new mechanism, giving the light Higgs doublet as a pseudo-Goldstone mode, is suggested. Realizing this mechanism, we present an explicit model with fully realistic phenomenology. In particular, desirable symmetry breaking and natural all-order hierarchy are achieved. The constructed model allows one to have a realistic fermion pattern, nucleon stability, and successful gauge coupling unification. The suggested mechanism opens prospects in the field for a novel $SO(10)$ GUT model building and for further investigations.
T-branes, which are non-Abelian bound states of branes, were first introduced by Cecotti, Cordova, Heckman and Vafa cite{Cecotti:2010bp}. They are the refined version of the monodromic branes that feature in the phenomenological F-theory models. Here, we will be interested in the T-brane corresponding to the $Z_3$ monodromy which is used to break the $E_8$ gauge group to obtain the $SO(10)_{GUT}$. This extends the results of cite{Cecotti:2010bp} to the case of $Z_3$ monodromic T-branes used to break the $E_8$ gauge group to $SO(10)times SU(3)times U(1)$ and compute the Yukawa coupling with the help of the residue formula. We conclude that the Yukawa coupling, ${bf{10}}_{H}cdot {bf{16}}_{M}cdot {bf{16}}_{M}$, is non-zero for $E_7$, in complete agreement with cite{Cecotti:2010bp}, but is zero for $E_8$. Furthermore, the case of $Z_2$ monodromic T-branes used to break the $E_8$ gauge group to $E_{6}times SU(2)times U(1)$, nothing interesting can be deduced by evaluating the Yukawa coupling ${bf{27}}_{H}cdot {bf{27}}_{M}cdot {bf{27}}_{M}$ which is dependent on whether the MSSM fermion and electroweak Higgs fields can be included in the same ${bf{27}}$ multiplet of a three-family $E_6$ GUT or assign the Higgs fields to a different ${bf{27}}_{H}$ multiplet where only the Higgs doublets and singlets obtain the electroweak scale energy.
The Supersymmetric SO(10) theory (NMSO(10)GUT) based on thehfilbreak ${bf{210+126 +oot}}$ Higgs system proposed in 1982 has evolved into a realistic theory capable of fitting the known low energy Particle Physics data besides providing a Dark matter candidate and embedding Inflationary Cosmology. It dynamically resolves longstanding issues such as fast dimension five operator mediated proton decay in Susy GUTs by allowing explicit and complete calculation of crucial threshold effects at $M_{Susy}$ and $M_{GUT}$ in terms of fundamental parameters. This shows that SO(10) Yukawas responsible for observed fermion masses as well as operator dimension 5 mediated proton decay can be highly suppressed on a Higgs dissolution edge in the parameter space of GUTs with rich superheavy spectra. This novel and generically relevant result highlights the need for every realistic UV completion model with a large/infinite number of heavy fields coupled to the light Higgs doublets to explicitly account for the large wave function renormalization effects on emergent light Higgs fields in order to be considered a quantitatively well defined candidate UV completion. The NMSGUT predicts large soft Susy breaking trilinear couplings and distinctive sparticle spectra. Measurable or near measurable level of tensor perturbations- and thus large Inflaton mass scale- may be accommodated by Supersymetric Seesaw inflation within the NMSGUT based on an LHN flat direction Inflaton if the Higgs component contains contributions from heavy Higgs components. Successful NMSGUT fits suggest a emph{renormalizable} Yukawon Ultra minimal gauged theory of flavor based upon the NMSGUT Higgs structure.
