Flavon vacuum alignment beyond SUSY

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2023-12-13 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

In flavor models the vacuum alignment of flavons is typically achieved via the FF-terms of certain fields in the supersymmetric limit. We propose a method for preserving such alignments, up to a rescaling of the vacuum expectation values, even after supersymmetry (and the flavor symmetry) are softly broken, facilitating the vacuum alignment in models which are non-supersymmetric at low energies. Examples of models with different flavor groups, namely A4A_4, T7T_7, S4S_4 and Δ(27)\Delta(27), are discussed.
