摘要
Grand Unified Theories often involve additional Abelian group factors, apart from the standard model hyper-charge, that generally lead to loop-induced mixing gauge-kinetic terms. In this letter, we show that at the one-loop level this effect can be avoided in many cases by a suitable choice of basis in group space and present a general scheme for the construction of this basis. %26lt;br%26gt;In supersymmetric theories, however, a residual mixing in the soft SUSY breaking gaugino mass terms may appear. We generalize the renormalization group equations for the gaugino mass terms to account for this effect. In a further calculation we also present the necessary adjustments in the renormalization group equations of the trilinear soft-breaking couplings and the soft-breaking scalar mass squares.
