Abstract

We discuss the minimal theory for quark-lepton unification at the low scale. In this context, the quarks and leptons are unified in the same representations and neutrino masses are generated through the inverse seesaw mechanism. The properties of the leptoquarks predicted in this theory are discussed in detail, and we investigate the predictions for the leptonic and semileptonic decays of mesons. We study the possibility to explain the current value of R_K reported by the LHCb Collaboration and the value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment reported by the Muon g − 2 experiment at Fermilab.
