Abstract

We study the generation of the GUT scale through radiative corrections in the context of a R-symmetric "flipped" SU(5) X U(1)X model. A negative mass squared term for the GUT Higgs fields develops due to radiative effects along a flat direction at a superheavy energy scale. The R-symmetry is essential in maintaining triplet-doublet splitting and F-flatness in the presence of non-renormalizable terms. The model displays radiative electroweak symmetry breaking and satisfies all relevant phenomenological constraints.
