Maybe the biggest puzzle in grand unified theories (GUTs) is the apparent large splitting of the doublet and triplet Higgs masses. We suggest a novel mechanism to solve this puzzle, which relies on the clockwork mechanism to generate large hierarchies from order-one numbers. The tension between gauge coupling unification and proton lifetime from minimal SU(5) GUTs is also removed in this scenario, and the theory remains perturbative until the Planck scale.

二重态-三重态分裂问题的发条式解决方案

也许大统一理论 (GUT) 中最大的难题是双重态和三重态希格斯质量明显的大分裂。我们建议使用一种新颖的机制来解决这个难题，它依赖于发条机制从一阶数字生成大型层次结构。在这种情况下，来自最小 SU(5) GUT 的规范耦合统一和质子寿命之间的张力也被消除了，并且该理论在普朗克尺度之前仍然存在扰动。
