Getting the Supersymmetric Unification Scale from Quantum Confinement with Chiral Symmetry Breaking 1

Two models which generate the supersymmetric Grand Unification Scale from the strong dynamics of an additional gauge group are presented. The particle content is chosen such that this group confines with chiral symmetry breaking. Fields that are usually introduced to break the Grand Unified group appear instead as composite degrees of freedom and can acquire vacuum expectation values due to the confining dynamics. The models implement known solutions to the doublet-triplet splitting problem. The SO(10) model only requires one higher dimensional representation, an adjoint. The dangerous coloured Higgsino-mediated proton decay operator is naturally suppressed in this model to a phe-nomenologically interesting level. Neither model requires the presence of gauge singlets. Both models are only technically natural.
