Description

Flipped SU(5) possesses some unique features as a grand unified theory: elegant missing partner mechanism, see-saw neutrino masses, no Higgs adjoints. This last property makes flipped SU(5) the only known grand unified theory derivable from 4-dimensional superstrings. When derived from the superstrings, flipped SU(5) possesses, in addition a hierarchical fermion mass spectrum. All these recent developments involving flipped SU(5) are discussed in a detailed but simple way, including phenomenological consequences at low energies
