Generic Gravitational Corrections to Gauge Couplings in SUSY SU(5) GUTs

Abstract

We study non-universal corrections to the gauge couplings due to higher dimensional operators in supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theories. The corrections are, in general, parametrized by three components originating from {\bf 24}, {\bf 75} and {\bf 200} representations. We consider the prediction of ${\alpha }_3(M_Z)$ along each {\bf 24}, {\bf 75} and {\bf 200} direction, and their linear combinations. The magnitude of GUT scale and its effects on proton decay are discussed. Non-SUSY case is also examined.
