Text book for SU5/GUT theories

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding detailed references for Grand Unified Theories (GUT), specifically SU(5) models and their Higgs representations. The user seeks clarification on the composition of the SU(5) potential from two Higgs fields and the mechanics of symmetry breaking. Additionally, there is a request for understanding the derivation of the 5.4.10 matrix from "Mohapatra R.N. Unification and Supersymmetry: The Frontiers" and the significance of the epsilon parameters mentioned in the text.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Grand Unified Theories (GUT)
  • Familiarity with SU(5) symmetry and its implications
  • Knowledge of Higgs field representations in particle physics
  • Basic concepts of symmetry breaking in quantum field theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the derivation of the SU(5) potential from two Higgs fields
  • Study symmetry breaking mechanisms in GUTs
  • Examine the role of epsilon parameters in GUT models
  • Read "Mohapatra R.N. Unification and Supersymmetry: The Frontiers" for detailed insights
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, graduate students in theoretical physics, and researchers interested in Grand Unified Theories and their mathematical frameworks.

Dear PF,

Could you please advise me good detailed reference on Grand Unified Theories... especially I want to see where for example SU5 potential is composed from two Higgs representations (two Higgs fields) and how symmetry breaking (minima of potential appears for both of fields) happens...


Thank you...

Could you please advise me how does one get the 5.4.10 matrix in the attached page from the

"MOHAPATRA R.N. UNIFICATION AND SUPERSYMMETRY.. THE FRONTIERS"

or what are those epsilons...

Thank you
