Gauge couplings in the SM
• RGEs of gauge couplings:
• Coefficient bi is calculated by
GUT normalization
The GCU does not occur

Requirement for the GCU
• RGE:
• The GCU condition
where

, and
is contribution of the extra particles.
• Once M* and MGUT are fixed, we can see the
necessary values of b’i

The SM only with TeV scale extra fermions cannot
realize the GCU at the Planck scale!! (up to one-loop level)
• With two-loop RGEs and one-loop threshold corrections, the
GCU could be realized at the Planck scale for

Summary
• The SM is completed by the Higgs discovery
– Higgs mass has quantum corrections as
– The vacuum is meta-stable
• With extra particles around the TeV scale
– The quantum corrections of Higgs mass is O(1)TeV
– Runnings of gauge couplings change
• The GCU at the Planck scale can be realized
• The vacuum can be stable up to the Planck scale
• For only extra fermions
– With same masses, GCU@Planck cannot be realized
(up to one-loop analysis)
– With different masses, GCU@Planck can be realized

Proton lifetime
• Although we do not discuss any specific GUT model,
the proton lifetime should be long enough to avoid
the experimental lower bound ( τ ~ O(1034) yrs).
• The proton lifetime is usually given by a four-fermion
approximation for the decay channel
