Gauge Unification and Quark Masses in a Pati-Salam Model from Branes

We investigate the phase space of parameters in the Pati-Salam model derived in the context of D-branes scenarios, requiring low energy string scale. We find that a non-supersymmetric version complies with a string scale as low as 10 TeV, while in the supersymmetric version the string scale raises up to ~2 x 10^7 TeV. The limited energy region for RGE running demands a large tan(beta) in order to have experimentally acceptable masses for the top and bottom quarks.

On the stability of nontopological solitons in supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model: A Numerical Approach

In various supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model there appear non-topological solitons due to the existence of U(1) global symmetries associated with Baryon and/or Lepton quantum numbers. Trilinear couplings (A-terms) in the scalar potential break explicitly the U(1) invariance. We investigate numerically the stability of these objects in the case that this breaking is small. We find that stable configurations, oscillating though, can still appear. Other relevant properties are also examined.
