Abstract
The flavor puzzle of the Standard Model is explained in split fermion models by having the fermions localized and separated in an extra dimension. Many of these models assume a certain profile for the Higgs VEV, usually uniform, or confined to a brane, without providing a dynamical realization for it. By studying the effect of the coupling between the Higgs and the localizer fields, we obtain these scenarios as results, rather than ansaetze. Moreover, we discuss other profiles and show that they are phenomenologically viable.
