Potential of the SU(5) + U(1) GUT

i. Overview

In this module we will write down some of the potential terms appearing in an `SU(5)` SUSY GUT model, with matter in the 5-bar and 10d representations.

A future iteration of this file will include all terms, and derive them from symmetry properties.

The terms of the super-potential we will consider are: `W ⊃ μ 5Hu 5̄Hd + 𝛽ᵢ 5̄Mⁱ5Hu + 𝜆ᵢⱼₖ 5̄Mⁱ 5̄Mʲ 10ᵏ + W¹ᵢⱼₖₗ 10ⁱ 10ʲ 10ᵏ 5̄Mˡ` `+ W²ᵢⱼₖ 10ⁱ 10ʲ 10ᵏ 5̄Hd + W³ᵢⱼ 5̄Mⁱ 5̄Mʲ 5Hu 5Hu + W⁴ᵢ 5̄Mⁱ 5̄Hd 5Hu 5Hu`

The terms of the Kahler potential are: `K ⊃ K¹ᵢⱼₖ 10ⁱ 10ʲ 5Mᵏ + K²ᵢ 5̄Hu 5̄Hd 10ⁱ`

A. The definition of `PotentialTerm`

We define an inductive type with a term for each of the potential terms we are interested in, present in both the super-potential and Kahler potential.

B. Relation to field labels

We map each term in the potential to the list of `FieldLabel`s which it contains. This allows us to define various properties of the potential term in a safe way, based solely on the field content.

C. Presence in the super-potential

We define a predicate which is true on those terms which are members of the super-potential. We will also prove that this predicate is decidable.

C.1. In super potential implies no conjugate fields

Been in the super potential implies that the term contains no conjugate fields.

D. Degree of the potential term

We define the degree of a term in the potential to be the number of fields it contains. The degree of all terms present is less than or equal to four.

E. R-parity of the potential terms

Based on the R-parity of the underlying fields, we define the R-parity of each term in the potential. We show that those terms which violate R-parity are exactly those which are `β`, `Λ`, `W2`, `W4`, `K1`, or `K2`.

F. Terms which violate proton decay

We write down the finite set of terms which contribute to proton decay. We do not at this point prove this result.

Potential terms of the SU(5)SU(5) SUSY GUT

The inductive type `PotentialTerm` serves as an index for the various interaction terms appearing in the superpotential WW and the Kähler potential KK of a supersymmetric SU(5)SU(5) Grand Unified Theory (GUT). These terms involve matter fields in the 5\mathbf{\overline{5}} (denoted 5ˉM\bar{5}M) and 10\mathbf{10} representations, as well as Higgs fields in the 5\mathbf{5} and 5\mathbf{\overline{5}} representations (denoted 5Hu5H_u and 5ˉHd\bar{5}H_d). The specific terms indexed by this type include: - Superpotential terms: - μ\mu: The Higgs mass term μ(5Hu)(5ˉHd)\mu (5H_u)(\bar{5}H_d). - βi\beta_i: The matter-Higgs mixing term βi(5ˉMi)(5Hu)\beta_i (\bar{5}M^i)(5H_u). - λijk\lambda_{ijk}: The trilinear matter interaction λijk(5ˉMi)(5ˉMj)(10k)\lambda_{ijk} (\bar{5}M^i)(\bar{5}M^j)(10^k). - Wijkl1W^1_{ijkl}: The dimension-5 operator 10i10j10k5ˉMl10^i 10^j 10^k \bar{5}M^l. - Wijk2W^2_{ijk}: The operator 10i10j10k5ˉHd10^i 10^j 10^k \bar{5}H_d. - Wij3W^3_{ij}: The operator 5ˉMi5ˉMj5Hu5Hu\bar{5}M^i \bar{5}M^j 5H_u 5H_u. - Wi4W^4_i: The operator 5ˉMi5ˉHd5Hu5Hu\bar{5}M^i \bar{5}H_d 5H_u 5H_u. - Kähler potential terms: - Kijk1K^1_{ijk}: The term 10i10j5Mk10^i 10^j 5M^k. - Ki2K^2_i: The term 5ˉHu5ˉHd10i\bar{5}H_u \bar{5}H_d 10^i.

Equality of SU(5)SU(5) potential terms is decidable

The equality of interaction terms in the SU(5)SU(5) supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT), represented by the type `PotentialTerm`, is decidable. This implies that for any two potential terms—such as the Higgs mass term μ\mu, the matter-Higgs mixing terms βi\beta_i, or the various superpotential (W14W^{1-4}) and Kähler potential (K12K^{1-2}) operators—it can be algorithmically determined whether they are identical.

The set of SU(5)SU(5) potential terms is finite

The set of potential terms in the SU(5)SU(5) supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT), represented by the type `PotentialTerm`, is finite. This type indexes the interaction terms present in the superpotential WW and the Kähler potential KK, including the Higgs mass term μ\mu, the matter-Higgs mixing term β\beta, the trilinear interaction λ\lambda, the higher-dimension operators W14W^{1-4}, the Kähler terms K12K^{1-2}, and the Yukawa couplings.

definition

Field content of SU(5)SU(5) potential terms

This function maps a potential term TT in the SU(5)SU(5) supersymmetric GUT model to the list of field labels that constitute that term. For each term TPotentialTermT \in \text{PotentialTerm}, it returns the sequence of matter (MM) or Higgs (Hu/dH_{u/d}) field representations (5,5ˉ,10\mathbf{5}, \mathbf{\bar{5}}, \mathbf{10}) involved: - μ[5ˉHd,5Hu]\mu \mapsto [\mathbf{\bar{5}}_{H_d}, \mathbf{5}_{H_u}] (Higgs mass term) - β[5Hu,5ˉM]\beta \mapsto [\mathbf{5}_{H_u}, \mathbf{\bar{5}}_M] (Matter-Higgs mixing) - Λ[5ˉM,5ˉM,10M]\Lambda \mapsto [\mathbf{\bar{5}}_M, \mathbf{\bar{5}}_M, \mathbf{10}_M] (Trilinear matter interaction) - W1[10M,10M,10M,5ˉM]W^1 \mapsto [\mathbf{10}_M, \mathbf{10}_M, \mathbf{10}_M, \mathbf{\bar{5}}_M] (Dimension-5 operator) - W2[10M,10M,10M,5ˉHd]W^2 \mapsto [\mathbf{10}_M, \mathbf{10}_M, \mathbf{10}_M, \mathbf{\bar{5}}_{H_d}] (Higgs-mediated operator) - W3[5ˉM,5ˉM,5Hu,5Hu]W^3 \mapsto [\mathbf{\bar{5}}_M, \mathbf{\bar{5}}_M, \mathbf{5}_{H_u}, \mathbf{5}_{H_u}] - W4[5ˉM,5ˉHd,5Hu,5Hu]W^4 \mapsto [\mathbf{\bar{5}}_M, \mathbf{\bar{5}}_{H_d}, \mathbf{5}_{H_u}, \mathbf{5}_{H_u}] - K1[10M,10M,5M]K^1 \mapsto [\mathbf{10}_M, \mathbf{10}_M, \mathbf{5}_M] (Kähler term) - K2[5ˉHu,5ˉHd,10M]K^2 \mapsto [\mathbf{\bar{5}}_{H_u}, \mathbf{\bar{5}}_{H_d}, \mathbf{10}_M] (Kähler term) - topYukawa[10M,10M,5Hu]\text{topYukawa} \mapsto [\mathbf{10}_M, \mathbf{10}_M, \mathbf{5}_{H_u}] (Top quark Yukawa coupling) - bottomYukawa[10M,5ˉM,5ˉHd]\text{bottomYukawa} \mapsto [\mathbf{10}_M, \mathbf{\bar{5}}_M, \mathbf{\bar{5}}_{H_d}] (Bottom quark Yukawa coupling)

definition

Predicate for terms belonging to the superpotential WW

The predicate InSuperPotential\text{InSuperPotential} determines whether a given potential term TT of type PotentialTerm\text{PotentialTerm} belongs to the superpotential WW of the SU(5)SU(5) supersymmetric GUT. It is defined to be true for the terms μ\mu, β\beta, Λ\Lambda, W1W^1, W2W^2, W3W^3, W4W^4, topYukawa\text{topYukawa}, and bottomYukawa\text{bottomYukawa}, and false for the Kähler potential terms K1K^1 and K2K^2.

instance

Decidability of InSuperPotential(T)\text{InSuperPotential}(T) for SU(5)SU(5) potential terms

The predicate InSuperPotential(T)\text{InSuperPotential}(T), which determines whether a given potential term TT in the SU(5)SU(5) supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT) belongs to the superpotential WW, is decidable. Specifically, for any term TPotentialTermT \in \text{PotentialTerm}, the predicate is true for the superpotential terms T{μ,β,Λ,W1,W2,W3,W4,topYukawa,bottomYukawa}T \in \{\mu, \beta, \Lambda, W^1, W^2, W^3, W^4, \text{topYukawa}, \text{bottomYukawa}\} and false for the Kähler potential terms T{K1,K2}T \in \{K^1, K^2\}.

theorem

Terms in the SU(5)SU(5) superpotential contain no conjugate fields

For any interaction term TT in the SU(5)SU(5) supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT), if TT is part of the superpotential WW (i.e., the predicate InSuperPotential(T)\text{InSuperPotential}(T) holds), then the list of its constituent field labels T.toFieldLabelT.\text{toFieldLabel} does not contain the matter representation 5M\mathbf{5}_M, the Higgs representation 5Hd\mathbf{5}_{H_d}, or the conjugate Higgs representation 5ˉHu\mathbf{\bar{5}}_{H_u}.

definition

Degree of an SU(5)SU(5) potential term

The degree of a potential term TT in the SU(5)SU(5) SUSY GUT model is defined as the number of fields (represented by their `FieldLabel`s) that constitute the term. Mathematically, for a term TPotentialTermT \in \text{PotentialTerm}, its degree is the length of the list of field labels returned by the mapping T.toFieldLabelT.\text{toFieldLabel}. For example, the Higgs mass term μ\mu has a degree of 2, while the trilinear matter interaction λ\lambda has a degree of 3.

theorem

The degree of any SU(5)SU(5) potential term is 4\le 4

In the SU(5)SU(5) supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT), for any interaction term TT in the superpotential or Kähler potential (including terms such as μ\mu, β\beta, λ\lambda, W1W^1, W2W^2, W3W^3, W4W^4, K1K^1, and K2K^2), the degree of the term is at most 4. Here, the degree degree(T)\text{degree}(T) is defined as the number of constituent field labels in the term.

definition

R-parity of a potential term TT

For a potential term TT in the SU(5)SU(5) SUSY GUT model, the R-parity is defined as the sum of the R-parities of its constituent fields. Specifically, if TT consists of a list of field labels [f1,f2,,fn][f_1, f_2, \dots, f_n] (determined by `toFieldLabel`), its R-parity is calculated as i=1nR(fi)(mod2)\sum_{i=1}^n R(f_i) \pmod 2, where R(fi){0,1}R(f_i) \in \{0, 1\} is the R-parity of the field fif_i. In this formulation, a total R-parity of 00 corresponds to a term that preserves R-parity, while 11 corresponds to a term that violates it.

theorem

TT violates R-parity     T{β,λ,W2,W4,K1,K2}\iff T \in \{\beta, \lambda, W^2, W^4, K^1, K^2\}

In the SU(5)SU(5) supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT), a potential term TT (representing an interaction in the superpotential WW or the Kähler potential KK) violates R-parity, denoted by T.RParity=1T.\text{RParity} = 1, if and only if TT belongs to the set {β,λ,W2,W4,K1,K2}\{\beta, \lambda, W^2, W^4, K^1, K^2\}. These terms include the matter-Higgs mixing term β\beta, the trilinear matter interaction λ\lambda, the higher-dimensional superpotential operators W2W^2 and W4W^4, and the Kähler potential terms K1K^1 and K2K^2.

definition

Potential terms contributing to proton decay in SU(5)SU(5) GUT

The finite set of interaction terms in the SU(5)SU(5) supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT) potential that contribute to proton decay. This set consists of the following operators: - W1W^1: The dimension-5 superpotential operator 10i10j10k5ˉMl10^i 10^j 10^k \bar{5}M^l. - λ\lambda: The trilinear matter superpotential interaction λijk5ˉMi5ˉMj10k\lambda_{ijk} \bar{5}M^i \bar{5}M^j 10^k. - W2W^2: The superpotential operator 10i10j10k5ˉHd10^i 10^j 10^k \bar{5}H_d. - K1K^1: The Kähler potential term 10i10j5Mk10^i 10^j 5M^k.
