ABSTRACT

The Unified Tuple–Matrix Framework (UTMF) integrates a topological BF-like gravity sector, SO(10) gauge unification, and a tuple-curvature matter sector. Versions up to v5.0 established a quantum-complete candidate, derived flavor from tuples, and resolved singularities, while introducing explicit renormalization-group (RG) flows, threshold matching, and dark-matter candidates. Here, v5.1 completes the phenomenology:

  1. Heavy spectra synthesis: explicit solutions for unification splittings , including a minimal S* set (a Y=2 singlet, SU(2) quintet, and color octets) and a Pati–Salam (PS) intermediate alternative at GeV.
  2. Dark matter planes: analytic mapping for tuple-ALPs (with string/wall contributions) and tuple-solitons (self-interaction contours, scaling, and Kibble–Zurek abundance).
  3. Reheating–leptogenesis link: inflaton decay width sets GeV, sufficient for thermal flavored leptogenesis ().
  4. Late-time cosmology: residual tuple curvature or quintessence with CPL parameters , with thawing example .

The falsification pack now includes four benchmark plots: ALP , soliton , inflation , and leptogenesis . Appendices provide full threshold vectors, ALP scalings, soliton dynamics, reheating formulas, Boltzmann skeletons, and quintessence ODEs.

1. Introduction

UTMF models spacetime and matter as a tuple-indexed topological substrate, interfaced with BF-like gravity and an SO(10) gauge bridge. Earlier milestones:

  • v4.0: quantum-complete candidate (BF gravity + SO(10)), singularity resolution, flavor from tuples.
  • v5.0: explicit RG flows, quasi-invariant trajectory at GeV, two-loop SM running, unification fit, tuple-ALP and soliton DM, inflation and baryogenesis.

Outstanding issues: explicit heavy thresholds realizing the required , DM abundance completeness, reheating consistency with leptogenesis, and late-time cosmology. v5.1 addresses these directly.

2. Heavy Spectra and Threshold Matching

2.1 Linearized Thresholds

7. Conclusion

UTMF v5.1 completes phenomenological closure:

  • Heavy spectra match unification splittings.
  • DM candidates mapped with full parameter planes.
  • Reheating–leptogenesis quantitatively linked.
  • Late-time cosmology framed in CPL.

All sectors are falsifiable: haloscopes for ALPs, dwarf/cluster data for solitons, CMB-S4 for inflation, and collider/neutrino probes for leptogenesis.
