In this paper, we attempt to build an unified model with democratic texture, that have some unification between $Y_{ u}$ and $Y_{u}$. Since the $S_{3L} times S_{3R}$ flavor symmetry is chiral, the unified gauge group is assumed to be Pati-Salam type $SU(4)_{c} times SU(2)_{L} times SU(2)_{R}$. The flavor symmetry breaking scheme is considered to be $S_{3L} times S_{3R} to S_{2L} times S_{2R} to 0$. In this picture, the four-zero texture is desirable for realistic mass and mixings. This texture is realized by a specific representation for the second breaking of the $S_{3L} times S_{3R}$ flavor symmetry. Assuming only renormalizable Yukawa interactions, type-I seesaw mechanism, and neglecting $CP$ phases for simplicity, the right-handed neutrino mass matrix $M_{R}$ can be reconstructed from low energy input values. Numerical analysis shows that the texture of $M_{R}$ basically behaves like the waterfall texture. Since $M_{R}$ tends to be the cascade texture in the democratic texture approach, a model with type-I seesaw and up-type Yukawa unification $Y_{ u} simeq Y_{u}$ basically requires fine-tunings between parameters. Therefore, it seems to be more realistic to consider universal waterfall textures for both $Y_{f}$ and $M_{R}$, e.g., by the radiative mass generation or the Froggatt--Nielsen mechanism. Moreover, analysis of eigenvalues shows that the lightest mass eigenvalue $M_{R1}$ is too light to achieve successful thermal leptogenesis. Although the resonant leptogenesis might be possible, it also requires fine-tunings of parameters.
We discuss proton decay in a recently proposed model of supersymmetric hybrid inflation based on the gauge symmetry $SU(4)_c times SU(2)_L times SU(2)_R$. A $U(1), R$ symmetry plays an essential role in realizing inflation as well as in eliminating some undesirable baryon number violating operators. Proton decay is primarily mediated by a variety of color triplets from chiral superfields, and it lies in the observable range for a range of intermediate scale masses for the triplets. The decay modes include $p rightarrow e^{+}(mu^+) + pi^0$, $p rightarrow bar{ u} + pi^{+}$, $p rightarrow K^0 + e^+(mu^{+})$, and $p rightarrow K^+ + bar{ u}$, with a lifetime estimate of order $10^{34}-10^{36}$ yrs and accessible at Hyper-Kamiokande and future upgrades. The unification at the Grand Unified Theory (GUT) scale $M_{rm GUT}$ ($sim 10^{16}$ GeV) of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) gauge couplings is briefly discussed.
Motivated by the ongoing searches for new physics at the LHC, we explore the low energy consequences of a D-brane inspired $ SU(4)_Ctimes SU(2)_L times SU(2)_R$ (4-2-2) model. The Higgs sector consists of an $SU(4)$ adjoint, a pair $H+bar H$ in $(4,1,2)+(bar 4,1,2)$, and a bidoublet field in $h(1,2,2)$. With the $SU(4)$ adjoint the symmetry breaks to a left-right symmetric $SU(3)_Ctimes U(1)_{B-L} times SU(2)_L times SU(2)_R$ model. A missing partner mechanism protects the $SU(2)_R$ Higgs doublets in $H,bar H$, which subsequently break the symmetry to the Standard Model at a few TeV scale. An inverse seesaw mechanism generates masses for the observed neutrinos and also yields a sterile neutrino which can play the r^ole of dark matter if its mass lies in the keV range. Other phenomenological implications including proton decay are briefly discussed.
We explore the sparticle mass spectra including LSP dark matter within the framework of supersymmetric $SU(4)_c times SU(2)_L times SU(2)_R$ (422) models, taking into account the constraints from extensive LHC and cold dark matter searches. The soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters at $M_{GUT}$ can be non-universal, but consistent with the 422 symmetry. We identify a variety of coannihilation scenarios compatible with LSP dark matter, and study the implications for future supersymmetry searches and the ongoing muon g-2 experiment.
The neutrino and Higgs sectors in the $mbox{SU(2)}_1 times mbox{SU(2)}_2 times mbox{U(1)}_Y $ model with lepton-flavor non-universality are discussed. We show that active neutrinos can get Majorana masses from radiative corrections, after adding only new singly charged Higgs bosons. The mechanism for generation of neutrino masses is the same as in the Zee models. This also gives a hint to solving the dark matter problem based on similar ways discussed recently in many radiative neutrino mass models with dark matter. Except the active neutrinos, the appearance of singly charged Higgs bosons and dark matter does not affect significantly the physical spectrum of all particles in the original model. We indicate this point by investigating the Higgs sector in both cases before and after singly charged scalars are added into it. Many interesting properties of physical Higgs bosons, which were not shown previously, are explored. In particular, the mass matrices of charged and CP-odd Higgs fields are proportional to the coefficient of triple Higgs coupling $mu$. The mass eigenstates and eigenvalues in the CP-even Higgs sector are also presented. All couplings of the SM-like Higgs boson to normal fermions and gauge bosons are different from the SM predictions by a factor $c_h$, which must satisfy the recent global fit of experimental data, namely $0.995<|c_h|<1$. We have analyzed a more general diagonalization of gauge boson mass matrices, then we show that the ratio of the tangents of the $W-W$ and $Z-Z$ mixing angles is exactly the cosine of the Weinberg angle, implying that number of parameters is reduced by 1. Signals of new physics from decays of new heavy fermions and Higgs bosons at LHC and constraints of their masses are also discussed.
The spin-charge-family theory predicts the existence of the fourth family to the observed three. The $4 times 4$ mass matrices --- determined by the nonzero vacuum expectation values of the two triplet scalars, the gauge fields of the two groups of $widetilde{SU}(2)$ determining family quantum numbers, and by the contributions of the dynamical fields of the two scalar triplets and the three scalar singlets with the family members quantum numbers ($tau^{alpha}=(Q, Q,Y)$) --- manifest the symmetry $widetilde{SU}(2) times widetilde{SU}(2) times U(1)$. All scalars carry the weak and the hyper charge of the standard model higgs field ($pm frac{1}{2},mp frac{1}{2}$, respectively). It is demonstrated, using the massless spinor basis, that the symmetry of the $4times4$ mass matrices remains $SU(2) times SU(2) times U(1)$ in all loop corrections, and it is discussed under which conditions this symmetry is kept under all corrections, that is with the corrections induced by the repetition of the nonzero vacuum expectation values included.
