The Grand Unified Theory (GUT) is a theoretical framework in particle physics that attempts to unify the three fundamental forces of the Standard Model—electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force—into a single force. The idea behind GUT is that at high energy levels, these three forces are manifestations of a single underlying force, much as different types of magnetism can be seen as different aspects of the same magnetic force.
The doublet-triplet splitting problem is an issue that arises in particle physics, particularly in the context of supersymmetric (SUSY) theories. It refers to the challenge of explaining the mass separation between the lighter (doublet) and heavier (triplet) Higgs bosons in models that include supersymmetry. In the Standard Model of particle physics, the Higgs boson is responsible for giving mass to other particles via the Higgs mechanism.
Flipped SO(10) is a theoretical framework in particle physics that extends the standard model of particle physics, particularly in the context of grand unified theories (GUTs). It is a variant of the SO(10) model, which is one of the simplest GUTs that unifies all of the known fundamental forces and particles by combining them under a single gauge group.
Flipped SU(5) is a theoretical framework in particle physics that extends the Standard Model by proposing a Grand Unified Theory (GUT). It is based on the idea of unifying the three fundamental forces of the Standard Model (electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions) under a larger symmetry group, SU(5), which is a symmetry group that contains the gauge groups of the Standard Model.
The Georgi–Glashow model, proposed by Howard Georgi and Sheldon Glashow in the early 1970s, is a theoretical framework in particle physics that attempts to unify the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces into a single gauge theory. This model is one of the earliest examples of Grand Unified Theories (GUTs).
The Georgi–Jarlskog mass relation is a theoretical expression in particle physics that relates the masses of different quarks and leptons based on certain symmetries of the Standard Model, particularly in the context of grand unified theories (GUTs) and higher-dimensional theories.
The Pati–Salam model is a theoretical framework in particle physics proposed by Rajiv Pati and Abdus Salam in the early 1970s. It is a unification model that aims to unify the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces, and it extends the gauge group of the Standard Model to include more symmetry.
SO(10) is a special orthogonal group that is of significant interest in the field of theoretical physics, particularly in the context of grand unified theories (GUTs) and particle physics. Here are some key points about SO(10): 1. **Mathematical Definition**: The group SO(10) consists of all \(10 \times 10\) orthogonal matrices with determinant +1.
Trinification is not a widely recognized term in academic literature or common usage as of my last knowledge update in October 2023. It appears that the term may be specific to a particular field, project, or framework that isn't broadly established, or it might be a more recent concept that has emerged after my last update. If you have a specific context in which you encountered the term "trinification," such as in a particular domain (e.g., mathematics, sociology, technology, etc.

Appears to be an unsolved physics problem. TODO why? Don't they all fit into the Standard Model already? So why is strong force less unified with electroweak, than electromagnetic + weak is unified in electroweak?
