Gravitational Corrections to Fermion Masses in Grand Unified Theories
Xavier Calmet, Ting-Cheng Yang
Published 2011-05-02Version 1
We reconsider quantum gravitational threshold effects to the unification of fermion masses in Grand Unified Theories. We show that the running of the Planck mass can have a sizable effect on these thresholds which are thus much more important than naively expected. These corrections make any extrapolation from low energy measurements challenging.
