Description

We investigate possible patterns of SO(10) gauge symmetry breaking compatible with supersymmetry, limiting ourselves to the cases with one intermediate breaking scale. It is found that the one where a 54 representation breaks SO(10) into a Pati-Salam group SU(4)sub(c)xSU(2)sub(L)xSU(2)sub(R) and the one where a 210 breaks it into SU(3)sub(c)xU(1)sub(c)xSU(2)sub(L)x(2)sub(R) are the most preferable patterns when supersymmetry is taken into account. Two models with the Pati-Salam intermediate symmetry are studied in more detail. (orig.)
