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 SUSY GUT
The inductive type `PotentialTerm` serves as an index for the various interaction terms appearing in the superpotential and the Kähler potential of a supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT). These terms involve matter fields in the (denoted ) and representations, as well as Higgs fields in the and representations (denoted and ). The specific terms indexed by this type include: - Superpotential terms: - : The Higgs mass term . - : The matter-Higgs mixing term . - : The trilinear matter interaction . - : The dimension-5 operator . - : The operator . - : The operator . - : The operator . - Kähler potential terms: - : The term . - : The term .
Equality of potential terms is decidable
The equality of interaction terms in the 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 , the matter-Higgs mixing terms , or the various superpotential () and Kähler potential () operators—it can be algorithmically determined whether they are identical.
The set of potential terms is finite
The set of potential terms in the supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT), represented by the type `PotentialTerm`, is finite. This type indexes the interaction terms present in the superpotential and the Kähler potential , including the Higgs mass term , the matter-Higgs mixing term , the trilinear interaction , the higher-dimension operators , the Kähler terms , and the Yukawa couplings.
Field content of potential terms
This function maps a potential term in the supersymmetric GUT model to the list of field labels that constitute that term. For each term , it returns the sequence of matter () or Higgs () field representations () involved: - (Higgs mass term) - (Matter-Higgs mixing) - (Trilinear matter interaction) - (Dimension-5 operator) - (Higgs-mediated operator) - - - (Kähler term) - (Kähler term) - (Top quark Yukawa coupling) - (Bottom quark Yukawa coupling)
Predicate for terms belonging to the superpotential
The predicate determines whether a given potential term of type belongs to the superpotential of the supersymmetric GUT. It is defined to be true for the terms , , , , , , , , and , and false for the Kähler potential terms and .
Decidability of for potential terms
The predicate , which determines whether a given potential term in the supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT) belongs to the superpotential , is decidable. Specifically, for any term , the predicate is true for the superpotential terms and false for the Kähler potential terms .
Terms in the superpotential contain no conjugate fields
For any interaction term in the supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT), if is part of the superpotential (i.e., the predicate holds), then the list of its constituent field labels does not contain the matter representation , the Higgs representation , or the conjugate Higgs representation .
Degree of an potential term
The degree of a potential term in the SUSY GUT model is defined as the number of fields (represented by their `FieldLabel`s) that constitute the term. Mathematically, for a term , its degree is the length of the list of field labels returned by the mapping . For example, the Higgs mass term has a degree of 2, while the trilinear matter interaction has a degree of 3.
The degree of any potential term is
In the supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT), for any interaction term in the superpotential or Kähler potential (including terms such as , , , , , , , , and ), the degree of the term is at most 4. Here, the degree is defined as the number of constituent field labels in the term.
R-parity of a potential term
For a potential term in the SUSY GUT model, the R-parity is defined as the sum of the R-parities of its constituent fields. Specifically, if consists of a list of field labels (determined by `toFieldLabel`), its R-parity is calculated as , where is the R-parity of the field . In this formulation, a total R-parity of corresponds to a term that preserves R-parity, while corresponds to a term that violates it.
violates R-parity
In the supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory (GUT), a potential term (representing an interaction in the superpotential or the Kähler potential ) violates R-parity, denoted by , if and only if belongs to the set . These terms include the matter-Higgs mixing term , the trilinear matter interaction , the higher-dimensional superpotential operators and , and the Kähler potential terms and .

This set consists of the following operators: - : The dimension-5 superpotential operator . - : The trilinear matter superpotential interaction . - : The superpotential operator . - : The Kähler potential term .
