Supersymmetric Dynamical Generation of the Grand Unification Scale

Abstract

The grand unification scale $M_{GUT}\sim 10^{16}$ GeV may arise from dynamical effects. With the advances in understanding of supersymmetric dynamics, we can break the grand unified group by introducing a strong gauge group which generates the grand unification scale. We also show how this mechanism can be combined with solutions to the doublet-triplet splitting problem. The same method can also be used for other symmetry breakings at intermediate scales as well.
