We analyse proton decay in the context of simple supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified models with an extra compact spatial dimension described by the orbifold S^1/(Z_2 x Z_2'). Gauge and Higgs degrees of freedom live in the bulk, while matter fields can only live at the fixed point branes. We present an extended discussion of matter interactions on the brane. We show that proton decay is naturally suppressed or even forbidden by suitable implementations of the parity symmetries on the brane. The corresponding mechanism does not affect the SU(5) description of fermion masses also including the neutrino sector, where Majorana mass terms remain allowed.

String Axiverse
String theory predicts an axiverse of ultralight axions whose effects on CMB polarization, matter power spectrum, and black hole superradiance can be probed by future astrophysical experiments.

Testing F-theory GUTs with the Axiverse
In F-theory GUTs, non-universal ALPs induced by hypercharge flux satisfy g_aγ/m_a well below the QCD axion prediction when gauge couplings unify near the string scale.

Maximal Abelian Flavor Symmetries
MAFS describes 15 flavor observables in SU(5) and SO(10) GUTs using 5 or 3 fitted small parameters at factor-of-two accuracy, implying large neutrino mixings and approximate leptogenesis without extra parameters in SU(5).

String Theory and Grand Unification Suggest a Sub-Microelectronvolt QCD Axion
String-theoretic axions consistent with grand unification and proton decay are predicted to have masses in the 3e-11 to 1e-8 eV window, with at most 47 axions in the Kreuzer-Skarke ensemble.

Five dimensional $SU(5) \times U(1)_{\rm PQ}$ grand unification
The authors propose a 5D SU(5) x U(1)_PQ orbifold model in which SU(5) breaking and a high-quality QCD axion from the fifth component of the U(1) field arise from the same boundary conditions, with intermediate-scale ...
