The b--unification in GUTs with non-chiral matter
It is shown, that the presently accepted value for b-quark mass can be
obtained from the requirement of the exact b- unification in the both
non-SUSY and SUSY non-chiral extended GUTs.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX, 4 LaTeX figures include
Mass hierarchy and localization of gravity in extra time
We consider Randall-Sundrum model with localized gravity, replacing the extra
compact space-like dimension by a time-like one. In this way the solution to
the hierarchy problem can be reconciled with a correct cosmological expansion
of the visible universe, just as a trivial result of the sign flip of
cosmological constants in the bulk and on the 3-branes relative to the case of
extra space-like dimension. Some phenomenological aspects of the proposed
scenario related to the tachyonic nature of Kaluza-Klein states of graviton are
also discussed.Comment: 10 pages, JHEP format, no figures, typos corrected, to appear in

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
() vectorlike fermions which considerably modify the desert
physics. In the non-SUSY case they can provide for the unification of the
standard coupling constant , and whereas in the
SUSY case they can increase the unification point up to the string unification
limit and decrease down to the value predicted from the low
energy physics.Comment: LaTeX, 1 figur
Composite quarks and leptons in higher space-time dimensions
A new approach towards the composite structure of quarks and leptons in the
context of the higher dimensional unified theories is proposed. Owing to the
certain strong dynamics, much like an ordinary QCD, every possible vectorlike
multiplets of composites appear in higher dimensional bulk space-time, however,
through a proper Sherk-Schwarz compactification only chiral set of composite
quarks and leptons survive as the massless states in four dimensions. In this
scenario restrictions related with the 't Hooft's anomaly matching condition
are turned out to be avoided and, as a result, the composite models look rather
simple and economic. We demonstrate our approach by an explicit construction of
model of preons and their composites unified in the supersymmetric SU(5) GUT in
five space-time dimensions. The model predicts exactly three families of the
composite quarks and leptons being the triplets of the chiral horizontal
symmetry SU(3)_h which automatically appears in the composite spectrum when
going to ordinary four dimensions.Comment: 13 pages, tcilatex, no figures, v2 - misprints correcte
Unifying flipped SU(5) in five dimensions
It is shown that embedding a four-dimensional flipped SU(5) model in a
five-dimensional SO(10) model, preserves the best features of both flipped
SU(5) and SO(10). The missing partner mechanism, which naturally achieves both
doublet-triplet splitting and suppression of d=5 proton decay operators, is
realized as in flipped SU(5), while the gauge couplings are unified as in
SO(10). The masses of down quarks and charged leptons, which are independent in
flipped SU(5), are related by the SO(10). Distinctive patterns of quark and
lepton masses can result. The gaugino mass M_1 is independent of M_3 and M_2,
which are predicted to be equal.Comment: revised version-to appear in PRD, 23 pages, 3 figures, ReVTeX
Generalized Froggatt-Nielsen Mechanism
In this paper, we propose a Generalized Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism in which
non-renormalizable operators involving a GUT group and non-singlet
Higgs field are introduced. Thus the GUT gauge symmetry breaking and the
generation of hierarchical flavor hierarchy have a common origin in this
mechanism. In this Generalized Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism, we propose
universality conditions for coefficients corresponding to different
contractions in the group productions. We find that the predictions in
Generalized Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism for SU(5) GUT is different to that of
ordinary Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism. Such Generalized Froggatt-Nielsen
mechanism can be used in GUT models when ordinary Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism is
no longer available. We study the application of Generalized Froggatt-Nielsen
mechanism in SO(10) model. We find that realistic standard model mass hierarchy
and mixings can be obtained both in SU(5) and SO(10) GUT models with such
Generalized Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism.Comment: 4 pages, no figure
Lifting a Realistic SO(10) Grand Unified Model to Five Dimensions
It has been shown recently that the problem of rapid proton decay induced by
dimension five operators arising from the exchange of colored Higgsinos can be
simply avoided in grand unified models where a fifth spatial dimension is
compactified on an orbifold. Here we demonstrate that this idea can be used to
solve the Higgsino-mediated proton decay problem in any realistic SO(10) model
by lifting that model to five dimensions. A particular SO(10) model that has
been proposed to explain the pattern of quark and lepton masses and mixings is
used as an example. The idea is to break the SO(10) down to the Pati-Salam
symmetry by the orbifold boundary conditions. The entire four-dimensional
SO(10) model is placed on the physical SO(10) brane except for the gauge
fields, the 45 and a single 10 of Higgs fields, which are placed in the
five-dimensional bulk. The structure of the Higgs superpotential can be
somewhat simplified in doing so, while the Yukawa superpotential and mass
matrices derived from it remain essentially unaltered.Comment: 17 pages, version to be published in Phys. Rev. D with expanded

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.Comment: 15 pages, comments and references added, version accepted in Phys.

Topped MAC with extra dimensions?
We perform the most attractive channel (MAC) analysis in the top mode
standard model with TeV-scale extra dimensions, where the standard model gauge
bosons and the third generation of quarks and leptons are put in D(=6,8,10,...)
dimensions. In such a model, bulk gauge couplings rapidly grow in the
ultraviolet region. In order to make the scenario viable, only the attractive
force of the top condensate should exceed the critical coupling, while other
channels such as the bottom and tau condensates should not. We then find that
the top condensate can be the MAC for D=8, whereas the tau condensation is
favored for D=6. The analysis for D=10 strongly depends on the regularization
scheme. We predict masses of the top (m_t) and the Higgs (m_H), m_t=172-175 GeV
and m_H=176-188 GeV for D=8, based on the renormalization group for the top
Yukawa and Higgs quartic couplings with the compositeness conditions at the
scale where the bulk top condenses. The Higgs boson in such a characteristic
mass range will be immediately discovered in H -> WW^(*)/ZZ^(*) once the LHC
starts.Comment: REVTEX4, 24 pages, 21 figures, to appear in PRD. The title is changed

Family Unification on an Orbifold
We construct a family-unified model on a Z_2xZ_2 orbifold in five dimensions.
The model is based on a supersymmetric SU(7) gauge theory. The gauge group is
broken by orbifold boundary conditions to a product of grand unified SU(5) and
SU(2)xU(1) flavor symmetry. The structure of Yukawa matrices is generated by an
interplay between spontaneous breaking of flavor symmetry and geometric factors
arising due to field localization in the extra dimension.Comment: 13 page
