Grand Pleromal Transmutation : condensates via Konsishi anomaly, dimensional transmutation and ultraminimal GUTs
Abstract: Using consistency requirements relating chiral condensates imposed by the so called Generalized Konishi Anomaly, we show that dimensional transmutation via gaugino condensation {\emph{in the ultraviolet}} drives gauge symmetry breaking in a large class of {\emph{asymptotically strong}} Super Yang Mills Higgs theories. For Adjoint multiplet type chiral superfields $\Phi$ (transforming as $r \times \bar r$ representations of a non Abelian gauge group G), solution of the Generalized Konishi Anomaly(GKA) equations allows calculation of quantum corrected VEVs in terms of the dimensional transmutation scale $\Lambda_{UV} \simeq M_X \, e{\frac{8\pi2}{ g2(M_X) b_0}} $ which determines the gaugino condensate. Thus the gauge coupling at the perturbative unification scale $M_X$ generates GUT symmetry breaking VEVs by non-perturbative dimensional transmutation. This obviates the need for large(or any) input mass scales in the superpotential. Rank reduction can be achieved by including pairs of chiral superfields transforming as either $({\bf Q}(r),{ \bf\bar Q}(\bar r))$ or $ (\Sig((r\otimes r){symm})), \Sigb(({\bar r \otimes\bar r}){symm})$, that form trilinear matrix gauge invariants $\bar Q\cdot \Phi\cdot Q, \Sigb \cdot \Phi\cdot \Sig $ with $\Phi$. Novel, robust and {\emph{ultraminimal}} Grand unification algorithms emerge from the analysis. We sketch the structure of a realistic Spin(10) model, with the $16$-plet of Spin(10) as the base representation $r$, which mimics the realistic Minimal Supersymmetric GUT but contains even fewer free parameters. We argue that our results point to a large extension of the dominant and normative paradigms of Asymptotic Freedom$/$IR colour confinement and potential driven spontaneous symmetry breaking that have long ruled gauge theories.
