dc.descriptionSeveral phenomenological and cosmological aspects of a minimal extension of the Georgi-Glashow model, where the Higgs sector is composed by 5_H, 15_H, and 24_H, are studied. It is shown that the constraints coming from the unification of gauge interactions up to two-loop level predict light scalar leptoquarks. In this GUT scenario, the upper bound on the total proton decay lifetime is tau_p < 1.4 x 10^36 years. The possibility to explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe through the decays of SU(2)_L scalar triplets is also studied. We find that a successful triplet seesaw leptogenesis implies an upper bound on the scalar leptoquark mass, M_Phib < 10^{6-7} GeV. We conclude that this GUT scenario can be tested at the next generation of proton decay experiments and future colliders through the production of scalar leptoquarks.
