We propose a simple non-supersymmetric grand unified theory (GUT) based on the gauge group SO(10)×U(1)_ψ. The model includes 3 generations of fermions in 16 (+1), 10 (–2) and 1 (+4) representations. The 16-plets contain Standard Model (SM) fermions plus right-handed neutrinos, and the 10-plet and the singlet fermions are introduced to make the model anomaly-free. Gauge coupling unification at M_GUT≃5×10¹⁵ - 10¹⁶ GeV is achieved by including an intermediate Pati–Salam breaking at M_I ≃ 10¹² – 10¹¹ GeV, which is a natural scale for the seesaw mechanism. For M_I ≃ 10¹² – 10¹¹, proton decay will be tested by the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment. The extra fermions acquire their masses from U(1)_ψ symmetry breaking, and a U(1)_ψ Higgs field drives a successful inflection-point inflation with a low Hubble parameter during inflation, H_inf << M_I. Hence, cosmologically dangerous monopoles produced from SO(10) and PS breakings are diluted away. This is the first SO(10) model we are aware of in which relatively light intermediate mass (~10¹⁰ – 10¹² GeV) primordial monopoles can be adequately suppressed. The reheating temperature after inflation can be high enough for successful leptogenesis. With the Higgs field contents of our model, a Z₂ symmetry remains unbroken after GUT symmetry breaking, and the lightest mass eigenstate among linear combinations of the 10-plet and the singlet fermions serves as a Higgs-portal dark matter (DM). We identify the parameter regions to reproduce the observed DM relic density while satisfying the current constraint from the direct DM detection experiments. Here, the present allowed region will be fully covered by the future direct detection experiments such as LUX-ZEPLIN DM experiment. In the presence of the extra fermions, the SM Higgs potential is stabilized up to M_I.
