Suppressing naturalness concerns, we discuss the compatibility requirements of high-scale supersymmetry breaking with the Higgs boson mass constraint and gauge coupling unification. We find that to accommodate superpartner masses significantly greater than the electroweak scale, one must introduce large non-degeneracy factors. These factors are enumerated, and implications for the allowed forms of supersymmetry breaking are discussed. We find that superpartner masses of arbitrarily high values… Expand

New weak-scale physics from SO(10) with high-scale supersymmetry
Gauge coupling unification and the stability of the Higgs vacuum are among two of the cherished features of low-energy supersymmetric models. Putting aside questions of naturalness, supersymmetry… Expand
Proton decay testing low energy supersymmetry with precision gauge unification
We show that gauge coupling unification in supersymmetry (SUSY) models can make a nontrivial interconnection between collider and proton decay experiments. Under the assumption of precise gauge… Expand
Inflation and high-scale supersymmetry with an EeV gravitino
We consider inflation and supersymmetry breaking in the context of a minimal model of supersymmetry in which the only “low” energy remnant of supersymmetry is the gravitino with a mass of order an… Expand
Pseudo-Dirac Higgsino dark matter in GUT scale supersymmetry
A bstractWe investigate a scenario in which supersymmetry is broken at a scale MS ≥ 1014 GeV leaving only a pair of Higgs doublets, their superpartners (Higgsinos) and a gauge singlet fermion… Expand
Can measurements of 2HDM parameters provide hints for high scale supersymmetry
Two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDMs) are minimal extensions of the Standard Model (SM) that may still be discovered at the LHC. The quartic couplings of their potentials can be determined from the… Expand
Inflation from high-scale supersymmetry breaking
Supersymmetry breaking close to the scale of grand unification can explain cosmic inflation. As we demonstrate in this paper, this can be achieved in strongly coupled supersymmetric gauge theories,… Expand
Effects of heavy neutrinos on vacuum stability in two-Higgs-doublet model with GUT scale supersymmetry
A bstractWe analyse the implications of right-handed neutrinos on the stability of the electroweak vacuum in two-Higgs-doublet models with supersymmetry at high scale. It is assumed that… Expand
On the tuning in the (mh,mt) plane: Standard Model criticality vs. high-scale SUSY
Abstract We analyse the predictions of both Higgs and top masses in a generic MSSM satisfying gauge-coupling unification, radiative electroweak symmetry breaking, with a natural (non-splitted)… Expand
