Effective Higgs Theories in Supersymmetric Grand Unification

The effective Higgs theories at the TeV scale in supersymmetric $SU(5)$ grand unification models are systematically derived. Restricted to extensions on $\mathbf{5}_{H}$ containing the Higgs sector we show that only two types of real (vector-like) models and one type of chiral model are found to be consistent with perturbative grand unification. While the chiral model has been excluded by the LHC data, the fate of perturbative unification will be uniquely determined by the two classes of vector-like models.


I. INTRODUCTION
The Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs scalar discovered at the LHC [1, 2] is a milestone in the journey of exploring the nature of both electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) and dark mater as a weakly-interacting massive particle (WIMP). Firstly, the hierarchy between the established weak and Planck scale requires a novel mechanism to stabilize the radioactive correction to the Higgs mass. Secondly, the WIMP communicates to the SM quarks and leptons only via either the neutral Z boson or Higgs scalar if no associated new particles exist.
Five decades have passed since the idea of supersymmetry (SUSY) was firstly proposed to address the two puzzles above. For a modern review, see, e.g, [3]. The gauge anomaly free conditions inevitably require some amount of extension on the SUSY Higgs sector.
For example, two Higgs doublets H u and H d are required in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Since different extensions will lead to different explanations of EWSB and WIMP dark matter, a question -how to distinguish them arises.
In this letter, we use the principle of perturbative grand unification (GUT) to systematically identify these extensions 1 , which is one of most important motivations for SUSY.
In what follows, we firstly consider all gauge invariant extensions on the Higgs sector that are consistent with SM gauge anomaly free conditions. See Table.I for details. Then we discuss which pattern survives based on the perturbative GUT. We find that only two types of real (vector-like) models and one type of chiral model are consistent with the perturbative unification. Since the chiral model (i.e., a fourth generation) has been excluded by the LHC data, we conclude that the fate of perturbative unification for only extensions on 5 H containing the Higgs sector will be uniquely determined by the vector-like models.
The content of extra matter beyond MSSM is composed of supermultiplets under fundamental representation of SU (5). They are constrained by the SM gauge anomaly free conditions. Generally it is achieved in two different ways.
1. The first class of construction is the so called real (vector-like) models, where the anomaly between each chiral supermultiplet and its conjugate is cancelled. This kind of interesting choices with gauge invariance are summarized in the top class in Table.I. The first two models were firstly discussed in [13][14][15], and referred to LND and QUE in [16,17] respectively. The representations of chiral supermultiplets Q, (1) The Note that any number of singlet chiral superfields can be added without violating the anomaly free conditions. Also, the combination of any two vector-like constructions in the Table such as the 5 +5 + 10 +10 model [13] is also anomaly free.
2. The second class of construction is chiral, where each chiral supermultiplet introduces an anomaly, but the total contribution is cancelled among them [12,18]. This kind of choices with gauge invariance is outlined in the bottom class in Table.

III. PERTURBATIVE UNIFICATION
Now we examine which type of model in Table.I is consistent with perturbative GUT.
According to [19][20][21] the one-loop renormalization group equations (RGEs) for the SM gauge couplings are given by, where t = lnµ and Here, κ = 1/2(1) for two (four)-component spinor, and T (r) denotes the Dynkin index for (2) depends on the details of the representation [12]. In Table.I the value of δb i for each representation is explicitly shown in the last column.
For perturbative unification to occur, there are two different ways. and one type of chiral model (5 +10 or5 + 10) are consistent with perturbative GUT. Fig.1 shows the values of M GUT for these GUT models for the threshold scale µ = 1 TeV. In this case perturbative unification occurs in one step.

coupling(s) in the situation without an intermediate mass scale
With such M * Eq.(5) also shows that unification only occurs if According to Table.I the effective superpotential in the chiral model is given by, and for 5+10 and5+10, respectively. Either Eq. (7) or Eq.(8) corresponds to a fourth generation of quark and lepton supermuliplets. Here, the 4-th lepton and quark masses are determined by the Yukawa coulings in Eq.(7)-Eq. (8) as Combinations of direct detections on a fourth generation of quarks at the LHC [22][23][24][25] and Higgs production cross section and decay width [26,27] have excluded an explanation of perturbative fourth generation.
The two types of vector-like models may leave signatures on the following realms. Firstly, the radiative correction to SM-like Higgs mass from the vector-like supermultiplets in Eq. (7) may be significant. If so, this model plays an important role in the Higgs physics. Secondly, the vector-like supermultiplets may give rise to significant changes in the neutralino sector, in which this model may play a role in WIMP dark matter.
In summary, restricted to extensions on 5 H perturbative GUT delivers only two viable classes of vector-like models (5 +5, 10 +10 and their combinations) at the TeV scale, regardless of one-step or multiple-step unification. The fate of perturbative unification under this scenario will be uniquely determined by the footprints of these two vector-like models either in the particle collider or WIMP dark matter experiments.
