Title: Spontaneous-compactification effects on SO(10) grand unification with SU(2) sub L times SU(2) sub R times SU(4) sub C intermediate symmetry

Abstract

The impact of five-dimensional operators, which might originate from compactification of extra dimensions, is investigated on SO(10) grand unification with Pati-Salam (PS) symmetry as the intermediate gauge group. When the PS group is left-right symmetric, the resulting equation for sin{sup 2}{theta}{sub {ital W}} is noted to be independent of the parameter ({epsilon}) of the nonrenormalizable Lagrangian, although the unification mass ({ital M}{sub {ital U}}) does depend upon it. In addition to solutions of the type obtained by Shafi and Wetterich, we find new predictions with a much larger grand-unification mass, consistent with a larger compactification scale. When parity and SU(2){sub {ital R}} breaking are decoupled, the equation for ln({ital M}{sub {ital U}}/{ital M}{sub {ital W}}) is independent of {epsilon}, but sin{sup 2}{theta}{sub {ital W}} does depend upon it. The most interesting predictions include observable {ital n}-{ital {bar n}} oscillations, rare kaon decays, and small neutrino masses, that are, however, measurable in the laboratory for {nu}{sub {mu}} and {nu}{sub {tau}}, corresponding to the low intermediate scale {ital M}{sub {ital C}}{similar to}10{sup 5}--10{sup 6} GeV. In such cases {ital M}{sub {ital U}} is large and the solutions are consistent with a larger compactification scale.
