Running of Soft Parameters in Extra Space-Time Dimensions

The evolution of the parameters including those in the soft supersymmetry-breaking (SSB) sector is studied in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with a certain set of Kaluza-Klein towers which has been recently considered by Dienes et al. We use the continuous Wilson renormalizaion group technique to derive the matching condition between the effective, renormalizable and original, unrenormalizable theories. We investigate whether the assumption on a large compactification radius in the model is consistent with the gauge coupling unification, the $b-τ$ unification and the radiative breaking of the electroweak gauge symmetry with the universal SSB terms. We calculate the superpartner spectrum under the assumption of the universal SSB parameters to find differences between the model and the MSSM.

Infrared Behaviour of Softly Broken SQCD and Its Dual

Applying the recently obtained results on the renormalization of soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters, we investigate the infrared behaviour of the softly broken supersymmetric QCD as well as its dual theory in the conformal window. Under general assumptions on $β$-functions, it is shown that the soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters asymptotically vanish in the infrared limit so that superconformal symmetry in softly broken supersymmetric QCD and in its dual theory revives at the infrared fixed point, provided the soft scalar masses satisfy certain renormalization group invariant relations. If these relations are not satisfied, there exist marginal operators in both theories that lead to the breaking of supersymmetry and also colour symmetry.

Further all-loop results in softly-broken supersymmetric gauge theories

It is proven that the recently found, renormalization-group invariant sum rule for the soft scalar masses in softly-broken N=1 supersymmetric gauge-Yukawa unified theories can be extended to all orders in perturbation theory. In the case of finite unified theories, the sum rule ensures the all-loop finiteness in the soft supersymmetry breaking sector. As a byproduct the exact $β$ function for the soft scalar masses in the Novikov-Shifman-Vainstein-Zakharov (NSVZ) scheme for softly-broken supersymmetric QCD is obtained. It is also found that the singularity appearing in the sum rule in the NSVZ scheme exactly coincides with that which has been previously found in a certain class of superstring models in which the massive string states are organized into $N = 4$ supermultiplets.

Unification Beyond GUTS--Top Mass Predictions

Unification of Gauge and Yukawa sectors of GUTs is obtained by searching for renormalization group invariant relations among the couplings of the both sectors which hold beyond the unification scale. This procedure singled out two supersymmetric GUTs, the finite and the minimal SU(5) models which, among others, were predicting successfully the top quark mass. The same procedure is currently extended in the soft supersymmetry-breaking sector of the theories, providing us with interesting, though preliminary, predictions on the Higgs and superpartner masses.

Constraints on Finite Soft Supersymmetry-Breaking Terms

Requiring the soft supersymmetry-breaking (SSB) parameters in finite gauge-Yukawa unified models to be finite up to and including two-loop order, we derive a two-loop sum rule for the soft scalar-masses. It is shown that this sum rule coincides with that of a certain class of string models in which the massive string states are organized into N=4 supermultiplets. We investigate the SSB sector of two finite SU(5) models. Using the sum rule which allows the non-universality of the SSB terms and requiring that the lightest superparticle particleis neutral, we constrain the parameter space of the SSB sector in each model.

Soft Scalar-Mass Sum Rule in Gauge-Yukawa Unified Models and Its Superstring Interpretation

It is shown that a certain sum rule for soft supersymmetry-breaking scalar masses, which has been recently found in a certain class of superstring models, is universal for gauge-Yukawa unified models. To explain this coincidence, we argue that the low-energy remnant of the target-space duality invariance in the effective supergravity of compactified superstrings can be identified with the (broken) scale invariance in gauge-Yukawa unified models, and that gauge-Yukawa unification which is indispensable for the sum rule to be satisfied follows from the matching of anomalies.

Perturbative Unification of Soft Supersymmetry--Breaking Terms

Perturbative unification of soft supersymmetry--breaking (SSB) parameters is proposed in Gauge-Yukawa unified models. The method, which can be applied in any finite order in perturbation theory, consists in searching for renormalization group invariant relations among the SSB parameters, which are consistent with perturbative renormalizability. For the minimal Gauge-Yukawa unified model based on $SU(5)$ we find that the low energy SSB sector contains a single arbitrary parameter, the unified gaugino mass. Within a certain approximation we find that the model predicts a superpartner spectrum which is consistent with the experimental data.

Testing Gauge-Yukawa-Unified Models By $M_t$

Gauge-Yukawa Unification (GYU) relates the gauge and Yukawa couplings, thereby going beyond the usual GUTs, and it is assumed that the GYU in the third fermion generation implies that its Yukawa couplings are of the same order as the unified gauge coupling at the GUT scale. We re-examine carefully the recent observation that the top-bottom mass hierarchy can be explained to a certain extent in supersymmetric GYU models. It is found that there are equiv-top-mass-lines in the boundary conditions of the Yukawa couplings so that two different GYU models on the same line can not be distinguished by the top mass $M_t$ alone. If they are on different lines, they could be distinguished by $M_t$ in principle, provided that the predicted $M_t$'s are well below the infrared value $M_t$ (IR). We find that the ratio $M_t ({\rm IR})/\sinβ$ depends on $\tanβ$ for large $\tanβ$ and the lowest value of $M_t ({\rm IR})$ is $\sim 188$ GeV. We focus our attention on the existing $SU(5)$ GYU models which are obtained by requiring finiteness and reduction of couplings. They, respectively, predict $M_t= (183+δ^{\rm MSSM} M_t\pm 5)$ GeV and $(181+δ^{\rm MSSM} M_t\pm 3)$ GeV, where $δ^{\rm MSSM} M_t$ stands for the MSSM threshold correction and is $\sim -2$ GeV for the case that all the MSSM superpartners have the same mass $M_{\rm SUSY}$ with $μ_H/M_{\rm SUSY} <<1$.

Unification of Gauge and Yukawa Couplings without Symmetry

A natural gradual extension of the idea of Grand Unification is to attempt to relate the gauge and Yukawa couplings; Gauge-Yukawa Unification (GYU). However, within the framework of renormalizable field theories, there exists no realistic symmetry that leads to a GYU. Here we propose an approach to GYU which is based on the principle of the reduction of couplings and finiteness in supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories. We elucidate how the observed top-bottom mass hierarchy can be explained in terms of supersymmetric GYU by considering an example of the $SU(5)$ Finite Unified Theory. It is expected that, when more accurate measurements of the top and bottom quark masses are available, it will be possible to discriminate among the various GYU models.

Top Quark Mass Predictions from Gauge-Yukawa Unification

Gauge-Yukawa Unification (GYU) is a renormalization group invariant functional relation among gauge and Yukawa couplings which holds beyond the unification point in Grand Unified Theories (GUTs). Here, GYU is obtained by requiring finiteness and reduction of couplings to all orders in perturbation theory. We examine the consequences of GYU in various supersymmetric GUTs and in particular the predictions for the top quark mass. These predictions are such that they distinguish already GYU from ordinary GUTs. Moreover, when more accurate measurements of the top quark mass are available, it is expected that it will be possible to discriminate among the various GYUs.

Gauge-Yukawa Unification in $SO(10)$ SUSY GUTs

We study supersymmetric unified models with three fermion generations based on the gauge group $SO(10)$ and require Gauge-Yukawa Unification, i.e., a renormalization group invariant functional relationship among the gauge and Yukawa couplings of the third generation in the symmetric phase. In the case of the minimal model, we find that the predicted values for the top and bottom quark masses are in agreement with the present experimental data for a wide range of supersymmetry breaking scales. We also find that an experimental accuracy of less than $1 \%$ for the top quark mass could test the corresponding prediction of the Gauge-Yukawa unified model.

Gauge-Yukawa Unification and the Top-Bottom Hierarchy

The consequences of Gauge-Yukawa Unification (GYU) in supersymmetric unified models on low energy physics are analyzed. We find that the observed top-bottom mass hierarchy can be explained by supersymmetric GYU and different models can be experimentally distinguished if the top quark mass does not exceed the value $\sim 185$ GeV.

Gauge-Yukawa Unification

Gauge-Yukawa Unification (GYU) yields a functional relation among the gauge and Yukawa couplings, and it may follow from the usual Grand Unification if it is supplemented with some additional principles. Postulating the principles of finiteness and reduction of couplings, we have achieved Gauge-Yukawa Unification in various supersymmetric unified models leading, among other things, to interesting predictions on the top quark mass.

Gauge-Yukawa Unification and The Top Quark Mass

The principles of finiteness and reduction of couplings can be applied to achieve Gauge-Yukawa Unification. It is found that the observed top-bottom hierarchy and the top quark mass naturally follow if there exists Gauge-Yukawa Unification which is a simple functional relation among the gauge coupling and the Yukawa couplings of the third generation in various susy unified gauge models. We briefly outline the basic idea of these principles and present the main results of the Gauge-Yukawa Unified models that have recently been studied in detail.

Nontrivial, Asymptotically Non-free Gauge Theories and Dynamical Unification of Couplings

An evidence for nontriviality of asymptotically non-free (ANF) Yang-Mills theories is found on the basis of optimized perturbation theory. It is argued that these theories with matter couplings can be made nontrivial by means of the reduction of couplings, leading to the idea of dynamical unification of couplings (DUC) The second-order reduction of couplings in the ANF $SU(3)$-gauged Higgs-Yukawa theory, which is assumed to be nontrivial here, is carried out to motivate independent investigations on its nontriviality and DUC.

Gauge-Yukawa Unification: Going Beyond GUTs

We discuss the basic idea of the Gauge-Yukawa Unification that is based on the principle of the reduction of couplings. This method of unification relies on the search of successful renormalization group invariant relations among couplings, which do not originate from symmetry principles. The predictive power of Grand Unified Theories can be increased by this method, predicting for instance values of the top quark mass consistent with the recent experimental data. The hope is that this unification attempt might shed further light on the origin of the Yukawa sector of the standard model.

Finite Unification and Top Quark Mass

In unified gauge theories there exist renormalization group invariant relations among gauge and Yukawa couplings that are compatible with perturbative renormalizability, which could be considered as a Gauge-Yukawa Unification. Such relations are even necessary to ensure all-loop finiteness in Finite Unified Theories, which have vanishing $β$-functions beyond the unification point. We elucidate this alternative way of unification, and then present its phenomenological consequences in $SU(5)$-based models.
