ABSTRACT This paper describes unification of the Higgs doublet in the standard model and the Higgs field to break the grand unified theory group to stabilize the sliding singlet mechanism which can solve the doublet-triplet splitting problem. This attractive mechanism has been generalized to apply it to many unified scenarios. This research attempts to build various concrete E6 unified models by using the generalized sliding singlet mechanism.

Article: GUT with Anomalous U(1) Suggests Heterotic M-Theory?
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We show that a new GUT scenario we proposed indicates that heterotic M-theory is one of the most interesting possibility to describe our world because of the two features in the scenario. The first feature is that E_6 unified group plays an essential role not only in understanding larger mixing angles in lepton sector than in quark sector but also in solving the SUSY flavor Problem by introducing non-abelian horizontal symmetry SU(2)_H or SU(3)_H. The second feature is that the cutoff scale must be taken as the usual GUT scale \Lambda_G\sim 2\times 10^{16} GeV to realize natural gauge coupling unification. Because this cutoff scale is smaller than the Planck scale or string scale, it may suggest the existence of extra dimension in which only gravity modes can propagate. This talk is based on a dozen papars, some of which are collaborated with T. Yamashita, M. Bando and Q. Shafi.

Article: E6 Unification, Large Neutrino Mixings, and SUSY Flavor Problem
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study indicates that in E6 grand unified theories (GUTs), once a hierarchical structure of up-quark-type Yukawa couplings is given as a basic structure of flavor, larger lepton mixings than the quark mixings and milder down-quark-type (and charged-lepton-type) mass hierarchies than up-quark-type mass hierarchy can generically be obtained under a few natural assumptions. The basic flavor structure is compatible with non-Abelian horizontal symmetry, which can solve the SUSY flavor problem. It is shown that in solving the SUSY flavor problem, the E6 structure, which realizes bi-large neutrino mixings, also solves a problem that results from the large neutrino mixing angles.

Article: Embedding flipped SU(5) into SO(10)
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We embed the flipped SU(5) models into the SO(10) models. After the SO(10) gauge symmetry is broken down to the flipped SU(5) \times U(1)_X gauge symmetry, we can split the five/one-plets and ten-plets in the spinor \mathbf{16} and \mathbf{\bar{16}} Higgs fields via the stable sliding singlet mechanism. As in the flipped SU(5) models, these ten-plet Higgs fields can break the flipped SU(5) gauge symmetry down to the Standard Model gauge symmetry. The doublet-triplet splitting problem can be solved naturally by the missing partner mechanism, and the Higgsino-exchange mediated proton decay can be suppressed elegantly. Moreover, we show that there exists one pair of the light Higgs doublets for the electroweak gauge symmetry breaking. Because there exist two pairs of additional vector-like particles with similar intermediate-scale masses, the SU(5) and U(1)_X gauge couplings can be unified at the GUT scale which is reasonably (about one or two orders) higher than the SU(2)_L \times SU(3)_C unification scale. Furthermore, we briefly discuss the simplest SO(10) model with flipped SU(5) embedding, and point out that it can not work without fine-tuning. Comment: RevTex4, 28 pages, 3 figures, typos corrected
