MotivationWhy GUTs?◮ SM is a very successful description <strong>of</strong> particle physics◮ SM itself is a gauge theory comprising elektroweak unification◮ more general unification should be possible◮ SM quantum numbers (esp. weak isospin) hint further unification◮ unification <strong>of</strong> SM couplings at very high energiesWhy <strong>SU</strong>(5)?◮ simple model◮ smallest possible group [Georgi, Glashow ’74]◮ unique breaking pattern to SM
