| dc.description | The construction of supersymmetric grand unified models based on the Pati-Salam gauge group and leading to a set of Yukawa quasi-unification conditions is briefly reviewed. For each sign of mu, an appropriately chosen condition from this set can allow an acceptable b-quark mass within the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model. The restrictions on the parameter space which arise from the cold dark matter, b-->s gamma, muon anomalous magnetic moment and collider requirements are also investigated. For mu>0, a wide and natural range of parameters is allowed. On the contrary, the mu<0 case is excluded by the combination of the cold dark matter and b-->s gamma requirements. In the mu>0 case, the predicted neutralinos are possibly detectable in the future direct cold dark matter searches. Moreover, the mu term is generated via a Peccei-Quinn symmetry. The same model gives rise to a new shifted inflationary scenario, which is based only on renormalizable terms and does not suffer from the problem of monopole overproduction at the end of inflation. Although inflation takes place at large values of the inflaton field and, thus, supergravity corrections could invalidate it, this does not happen provided that an extra gauge singlet with a superheavy vacuum expectation value from D-terms is introduced and a specific Kaehler potential is used. | |
