Vanishing of cosmological constant and fully localized gravity in a Brane World with extra time(s)

We construct an intersecting brane configuration in six-dimensional space with one extra space-like and one extra time-like dimensions. With a certain additional symmetry imposed on the extra space-time we have found that effective four-dimensional cosmological constant vanishes automatically, providing the static solution with gravity fully localized at the intersection region as there are no propagating massive modes of graviton. In this way, the same symmetry allows us to eliminate tachyonic states of graviton from the spectrum of the effective four-dimensional theory, thus avoiding phenomenological difficulties comming from the matter instability usually induced in theories with extra time-like dimensions.

Extra dimensions and self-organizing criticality

We discuss a possible explanation of the hierarchy problem within the theories with spacetime dimensions higher than four. We show that the presence of relatively (not hierarchically) large extra dimensions can significantly alter the evolution of the Higgs field VEV, driving it to an infrared stable fixed point $\sim M_{W}$. Such a behaviour results in self-organizing criticality and naturally explains gauge hierarchy without any fine tuning of the parameters.

From Prototype SU(5) to Realistic SU(7) SUSY GUT

We construct a realistic SU(7) model which provides answers to many questions presently facing the prototype SU(5) SUSY GUT. Among them are a solution to the doublet-triplet splitting problem, string scale unification, proton decay, the hierarchy of baryon vs lepton number violation and neutrino masses.

On SUSY inspired minimal lepton number violation

A minimal lepton number violation (LNV) is proposed which could naturally appear in SUSY theories, if Yukawa and LNV couplings had a common origin. According to this idea properly implemented into MSSM with an additional abelian flavor symmetry the prototype LNV appears due to a mixing of leptons with superheavy Higgs doublet mediating Yukawa couplings. As a result, all significant physical manifestations of LNV reduce to those of the effective trilinear couplings $LL\bar{E}$ and $LQ\bar{D}$ aligned, by size and orientation in a flavor space, with the down fermion (charged lepton and down quark) effective Yukawa couplings, while the effective bilinear terms appear generically suppressed relative to an ordinary $μ$-term of MSSM. Detailed phenomenology of the model related to the flavor-changing processes both in quark and lepton sectors, radiatively induced neutrino masses and decays of the LSP is presented. Remarkably, the model can straightforwardly be extended to a Grand Unified framework and an explicit example with SU(7) GUT is thoroughly discussed.

The top quark mass in the minimal top condensation model with extra dimensions

The minimal dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking through top condensation in the presence of compact large extra dimensions is studed. It is shown that thanks to the power-low evolution of gauge and Yukawa couplings the original BHL predictions for the top quark mass are significantly lowered and even for small cut-off scale $Λ\sim few$ TeV one can obtain experimentally allowed values.

New Solution to Doublet-Triplet Splitting Problem in SU(N) SUSY GUTs: Towards an Unification of Flavour

The missing VEV solution to the doublet-triplet splitting problem in general SU(N) SUSY GUTs is found. Remarkably enough, it requires a strict equality of numbers of the fundamental colours and flavours in SU(N) and for the even-order groups (N=2k) gives the predominant breaking channel $SU(N) \to SU(k-1)_c\otimes SU(k-1)_f\otimes SU(2)_w\otimes U(1)\otimes U(1)'$ in the parameter natural area. The flavour subsymmetry breaking owing to some generic string inspired extra symmetries of the Higgs superpotential appears not to affect markedly the basic adjoint vacuum configuration in the model. Thus the both salient features of SM just as an interplay between colours and flavours (or families for due assignment of quarks and leptons) so the doublet structure of the weak interactions could be properly understood and accommodated in the framework of the minimal SU(8) model. Among its predictions the most crucial one belongs to the existence on the TeV scale just three families of pseudo-Goldstone bosons and their superpartners 3(5+\bar 5) + SU(5)-singlets which noticeably improve the unification picture of MSSM.

Towards the Non-Chiral Extension of SM and MSSM

We show that in some SU(N) type GUTs with the complementary pairs of the conjugated fermion multiplets there naturally appear the relatively light ($M\ll M_{GUT}$) vectorlike fermions which considerably modify the desert physics. In the non-SUSY case they can provide for the unification of the standard coupling constant $α_1$, $α_2$ and $α_S$ whereas in the SUSY case they can increase the unification point up to the string unification limit and decrease $α_S(M_Z)$ down to the value predicted from the low energy physics.
