Title: A Flavor of SO(10) Unification with a Spinor Higgs

Abstract: My talk will be focused towards a relatively large audience. I will briefly review grand unified theories (GUTs) and flavor model building within GUTs.  Then I investigate the Higgs Parity Unification model. I’ll describe how 1) gauge coupling unification successfully predicts the QCD coupling to better than 1% accuracy, 2) the strong CP problem is solved using parity, 3)  this framework leads to a novel mechanism through which standard model flavor observables can be understood, 4) the model naturally leads to successful baryon asymmetry through leptogenesis.
