Explore the structure of matter multiplets and unification in SO(10), with a focus on the evolution of gauge couplings and minimal supersymmetry. This work investigates additional 10+10* lepton number violation in an unifiable model, including features such as neutrinoless double beta decay and anomalous-free Z(4) symmetries. Addressing questions on the lightness of 10+10* particles and flavor structure, the study also delves into neutrino mass limits and the implications of lepton number violation at the TeV scale. The model offers explanations for vector particle masses and presents predictions for D mixing and mu to e gamma transitions, making it testable against experimental constraints. Collaborative work conducted by K.S. Babu, I. Gogoladze, and C. Kolda.

Conclusions ♦ Lepton number violation can occur naturally at the TeV scale consistent with unification, dark matter, and neutrino mass limits ♦ Neutrinoless double beta decay is prominent and within experimental reach Simple symmetries can explain the vector-particle masses, including the mu term ♦ ♦ D mixing and mu to e gamma are other tests of the Specific model
