SUSY GUTs without light Higgs bosons

Abstract

There are two different types of perturbative unification in SUSY GUTs. Perturbative gauge unification is necessary for the extremely successful prediction of ${\sin }^2{\theta }_w$. ``Perturbative validity'' requires that {\it all} couplings (not just the gauge couplings) remain small; this assumption is essential to the proof that any SUSY GUT must have a light Higgs with a mass below 140 GeV. It is pointed out here that if the latter bound is violated (so that there need be no light Higgs bosons), then it is plausible that the successful prediction of ${\sin }^2{\theta }_w$ will {\it not} be significantly altered.
