Title: Minimal renormalizable SO(10), spontaneous CP violation, and flavor implications
Abstract:
Grand unified theories (GUTs) are experimentally challenging to test. In this talk, I will summarize my recent findings on a minimal renormalizable SO(10) GUT. With the assumption of spontaneous CP violation, the low-energy theory becomes a constrained two-Higgs-doublet model, whose mass spectrum has an upper bound of 545 GeV. High-luminosity collider experiments may find its flavor violating signals and reveal hidden mixing parameters, enabling new predictions for proton decay. There is a possibility that a hint of minimal SO(10) can appear soon in near future experiments.
