abstract
A beyond the standard model theory that respects parity symmetry at short distances is known to provide a solution to the strong CP problem without the need for an axion, while keeping the CKM phase unconstrained. In this paper we present a supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified embedding of this idea with Yukawa couplings generated by {\bf 10}, ${\bf \overline{126}}$ and {\bf 120} Higgs fields. This model is known to provide a unified description of masses and mixings of quarks and leptons. When CP symmetry is imposed on this model, the discrete gauge subgroup C of SO(10) combines with it to generate an effective parity symmetry, leading to hermitian quark mass matrices. Imposing an additional discrete symmetry, $G$, we show that there are no other tree level sources of $\theta$ in the model; $G$ also guarantees that the one- and two-loop contributions to $\theta$ vanish. We then show that the leading three-loop effects and the effect of higher-dimensional operators invariant under $G$ give rise to $\theta$ near the current experimental bound, making the model testable in the current searches for neutron electric dipole moment.

In a parity-symmetric model with TeV-scale lepton number violation, a 10 TeV μ+μ+ collider can probe W' boson masses up to 16 TeV via on-shell and off-shell lepton number violating production.
Corrected reality conditions on the 10 and 120 Higgs representations in minimal SO(10) allow the Yukawa sector to fit all fermion masses and mixings while predicting a hierarchical right-handed neutrino spectrum and proton decay modes testable in upcoming experiments.
