Research Abstract |
The renormalizable minimal SO(10) model has been paid a particular attention, where two Higgs multiplets ${{bf 10} oplus {bf overline{126}}}$ are utilized for the Yukawa couplings with matters ${bf16}_i〜(i=mbox{generation})$. A remarkable feature of the model is its high predictive power of the neutrino oscillation parameters as well as reproducing charged fermion masses and mixing angles. We pointed out that CP-phases in the Yukawa sector play an important role to reproduce the neutrino oscillation data. The detailed analysis incorporating the renormalization group (RG) effects in the context of MSSM has explicitly shown by Fukuyama-Okada that the model is consistent with the neutrino oscillation data at that time. Afterward this minimal SO(10) was modified by many authors corresponding the precision measurements, using the type-II see-saw mechanism and/or considering a ${bf 120}$ Higgs coupling to the matter in addition to the ${bf overline{126}}$ Higgs. It has been long expected to construct a concrete Higgs sector of the minimal SO(10) model. A simplest and renormalizable Higgs superpolential was constructed explicitly and the patterns of the SO(10) gauge symmetry breaking to the standard model one was shown by us. This construction gives the detail of the intermediate energy scale. Thus our theory goes to the precision calculation phase, which also give rise to a trouble in the gauge coupling unification. In order to solve the problem, we proposed the scenario to provide the GUT scale as the cutoff scale of effective filed theory in a natural way. For our purpose, we embed the minimal SO(10) model into a warped extra dimension). We can propose a simple setup that naturally generates right-handed neutrino masses at intermediate scale even with Higgs field VEVs at the GUT scale. Thus, the gauge coupling unification remains in the MSSM. Thus SO(10) GUT enters into new phase and is expected to grow further.
