Universal strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions of leptons and hadrons are generated by gauging a non-Abelian renormalizable anomaly-free subgroup of the fundamental symmetry structure $\mathrm{SU}{(4)}_{L}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{SU}{(4)}_{R}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{SU}({4}^{\ensuremath{'}})$, which unites three quartets of "colored" baryonic quarks and the quartet of known leptons into 16-folds of chiral fermionic multiplets, with lepton number…

Techni-Pati-Salam composite Higgs model
• Physics
• 2021
Composite Higgs models can be extended to the Planck scale by means of the partially unified partial compositeness (PUPC) framework. We present in detail the Techni-Pati-Salam model, based on a

If longitudinal W's and Z's and Higgs bosons are actually fermion-antifermion composites, one must study systems other than this heavy vector meson to learn the nature of the constituents.
Petite unification of quarks and leptons: Twenty-two years after
• Materials Science
• 2003
A recent surge of interest in the novel ideas of large extra dimensions and their implications, such as the early unification of quarks and leptons, has prompted us to revive a paper written 22 years
Unified explanation of flavor anomalies, radiative neutrino masses, and ANITA anomalous events in a vector leptoquark model
• Physics
• 2020
Driven by the recent experimental hints of lepton-flavor-universality violation in the bottom-quark sector, we consider a simple extension of the Standard Model (SM) with an additional vector
Inflation with realistic supersymmetric SO(10)
• Physics
• 2005
We implement inflation within a realistic supersymmetric $SO(10)$ model in which the doublet-triplet splitting is realized through the Dimopoulos-Wilczek mechanism, the MSSM $\ensuremath{\mu}$
GUT inflation and proton decay after WMAP5 data
• Physics
• 2008
We employ Coleman-Weinberg and Higgs potentials to implement inflation in nonsupersymmetric grand unified theories (GUTs) such as SU(5) and SO(10). To realize a scalar spectral index close to 0.96,
Two Higgs doublet model and leptoquarks constraints from D meson decays
• Physics
• 2014
We present new constraints on the two Higgs doublet model (THDM) and the leptoquark model parameters using the leptonic and semileptonic decays of the D meson. Our global analysis includes: the
Leptonic Pion Decay And Physics Beyond The Electroweak Standard Model
• Physics
• 2008
The ratio of branching ratios in leptonic pion decay $R_{\pi} \equiv (\Gamma(\pi^- \to e \nu_e))/(\Gamma(\pi^- \to \mu \nu_\mu))$ is a powerfully sensitive probe of new interactions beyond the
Chiral SU(4) explanation of the b→s anomalies
• Physics
Physical Review D
• 2019
We propose a variant of the Pati-Salam model, with gauge group $SU(4)_C\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_{Y'}$, in which the chiral left-handed quarks and leptons are unified into a $\underline{4}$ of
