We propose a SU(5) × U(1)_X × U(1)_PQ model, where U(1)_X is the generalization of the B – L (baryon minus lepton number) gauge symmetry and U(1)_PQ is the global Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry. There are four fermions families in $$\bar{5}+10$$ representations of SU(5), a mirror family in $$5+\overline{10}$$ representations, and three SU(5) singlet Majorana fermions. The U(1)_X related anomalies all cancel in the presence of the Majorana neutrinos. The SU(5) symmetry is broken at M_GUT ≃ (6–9) × 10¹⁵ GeV and the proton lifetime τ_p is estimated to be well within the expected sensitivity of the future hyper-Kamiokande experiment, τ_p ≲ 1.3 × 10³⁵ years. The SU(5) breaking also triggers the breaking of the PQ symmetry, resulting in axion dark matter (DM), with the axion decay constant f_a of order M_GUT or somewhat larger. The CASPEr experiment can search for such an axion DM candidate. The Hubble parameter during inflation must be low, H_inf ≲ 10⁹ GeV, in order to successfully resolve the axion domain wall, axion DM isocurvature and SU(5) monopole problems. With the identification of the U(1)_X breaking Higgs field with the inflaton field, we implement inflection-point inflation, which is capable of realizing the desired value for H_inf . The vectorlike fermions in the model are essential for achieving successful unification of the SM gauge couplings as well as the phenomenological viability of both axion DM and inflation scenario.
