Origin of strong CP problem

⋆ QCD ∋ U(2)V × U(2)A global symmetry (2 light quarks) ⋆ U(2)V = SU(2)I × U(1)B realized; U(2)A broken spontaneously ⋆ expect 4 Goldstone bosons: πs and η, but instead mη ≫ mπ: QCD does not

respect somehow U(1)A (Weinberg)

⋆ t’Hooft resolution: QCD θ vacuum ⇒ theory not U(1)A symmetric, and

mη ≫ mπ explained

supersymetric SO(10): synopsis

⋆ SO(10) is a rank-5 Lie group which contains the SM gauge symmetry.

  • SO(n) (except n = 6) are naturally anomaly-free, thus explaining the

seemingly fortuitous anomaly cancellation in the SM and in SU(5).

  • matter unification in spinorial 16: The 16 contains all the matter in a

single generation of the SM, plus a RHN state ˆ N c: see-saw ν-masses

  • Higgs unification: explains why 2 Higgs doublets in MSSM
  • Explains R-parity conservation: only matter-matter-Higgs couplings
  • Expect t − b − τ Yukawa unification in simplest models

⋆ These features have convinced many theorists that the main features of

SUSY SO(10) are surely right!

Yukawa unification in SUSY: assumptions

  • some form of 4-d or x-d SO(10) SUGRA-GUT valid at Q > MGUT
  • SUGRA breaking via superHiggs mechanism: will find m ˜

G ∼ 10 TeV so soft

SUSY breaking terms ∼ 10 TeV

  • SO(10) breaks to MSSM or MSSM plus gauge singlets at Q ≃ MGUT either

via Higgs mechanism (4-d) or x-d compactification

  • MSSM (or MSSM plus ˆ

N c) is correct effective theory between MSUSY and MGUT

  • EWSB broken radiatively due to large mt
  • we will require that t − b − τ Yukawa couplings unify at Q = MGUT

Conclusions

⋆ neutralino CDM: usually too much or too little ⋆ neutralino CDM with Ω e

Z1h2 ∼ 0.1 fine-tuned

⋆ PQ strong CP solution + SUSY: why not both? ⋆ expect mixed axion/axino CDM if ˜

a is LSP

⋆ then low fine-tuning of Ωa˜

ah2

⋆ TR ∼ 106 − 108 possible:

  • solve gravitino problem if m ˜

G >

∼ 5 TeV

  • allow for non-thermal leptogenesis

⋆ Neutralino CDM dis-favored models now allowed

  • Effective SUSY
  • Yukawa-unified SUSY
