abstract

Grand Unified Theories (GUT) predict proton decay as well as the formation of cosmic strings which can generate gravitational waves. We determine which non-supersymmetric $SO(10)$ breaking chains provide gauge unification in addition to a gravitational signal from cosmic string decay. We calculate the GUT and intermediate scales for these $SO(10)$ breaking chains by solving the renormalisation group equations at the two-loop level. This analysis predicts the GUT scale, hence the proton lifetime, in addition to the scale of cosmic string generation and thus the associated gravitational wave signal. We determine which $SO(10)$ breaking chains survive in the event of the null results of the next generation of gravitational waves and proton decay searches and determine the correlations between proton decay and gravitational waves scales if these observables are measured.

  1. Metastable cosmic strings are broken at the start

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Metastable cosmic-string networks are typically broken within a Hubble time of formation by finite-temperature effects or by pre-existing monopoles, so matching NANOGrav requires m_M^2/μ ≳ 10^3.

  2. Universal two-zero texture in SO(10): implications of JUNO and realization from non-invertible symmetries

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Universal two-zero textures in SO(10) remain compatible with JUNO-era flavor data, prefer normal ordering, predict meV-scale mββ, and arise from Z3-gauged Z7 non-invertible selection rules.

  3. Gravitational waves from metastable cosmic strings in the delayed scaling scenario

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Metastable cosmic strings with delayed scaling can explain the PTA gravitational wave background with tension up to Gmu ~ 3e-5 while evading LVK bounds, producing a plateau and an f^-1/3 tail detectable by future inte...

  4. Right-handed neutrinos: seesaw models and signatures

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 1.0 of 10

    A pedagogical review that explains how adding right-handed neutrinos can generate small neutrino masses through seesaw mechanisms and what experimental signatures such models predict.
