Flavor without Flavor Symmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
Non-trivial patterns of quark and lepton masses and mixings can arise without there being any underlying flavor symmetry that distinguishes among the three families. Two realistic examples are given.

Flavor Symmetry Breaking and Vacuum Alignment on Orbifolds
Flavor symmetry has been widely studied for figuring out the masses and mixing angles of standard-model fermions. In this paper we present a framework for handling flavor symmetry breaking where the symmetry breaking is triggered by boundary conditions of scalar fields in extra-dimensional space. The alignment of scalar expectation values is achieved without referring to any details of scalar p...
متن کاملUnified Model of Fermion Masses with Wilson Line Flavor Symmetry Breaking
We present a supersymmetric SU(5) GUT model with a discrete non-Abelian flavor symmetry that is broken by Wilson lines. The model is formulated in 4+3 dimensions compactified on a manifold S3/Zn. Symmetry breaking by Wilson lines is topological and allows to realize the necessary flavor symmetry breaking without a vacuum alignment mechanism. The model predicts the hierarchical pattern of charge...
متن کاملApproximate Flavor Symmetry in Supersymmetric Model
We investigate the maximal approximate flavor symmetry in the framework of generic minimal supersymmetric standard model. We consider the low energy effective theory of the flavor physics with all the possible operators included. Spontaneous flavor symmetry breaking leads to the approximate flavor symmetry in Yukawa sector and the supersymmetry breaking sector. Fermion mass and mixing hierachie...
متن کاملWhat Happens If an Unbroken Flavor Symmetry Exists ? Yoshio
Without assuming any specific flavor symmetry and/or any specific mass matrix forms, it is demonstrated that if a flavor symmetry (a discrete symmetry, a U(1) symmetry, and so on) exists, we cannot obtain the CKM quark mixing matrix V and the MNS lepton mixing matrix U except for those between two families for the case with the completely undegenerated fermion masses, so that we can never give ...
متن کاملFlavor “Conservation” and Hierarchy in TeV-scale Supersymmetric Standard Model
Recently a TeV-scale Supersymmetric Standard Model (TSSM) was proposed in which the gauge coupling unification is as precise (at one loop) as in the MSSM, and occurs in the TeV range. Proton stability in the TSSM is due to an anomaly free Z3 ⊗ Z3 discrete gauge symmetry, which is also essential for successfully generating neutrino masses in the desirable range. In this paper we show that the TS...
