The symmetry between quarks and leptons suggests that neutrinos should have mass. As embodied in the grand unified theory SO(10) this yields masses that can only be detected by neutrino oscillations. Such oscillations could be very…
GUTs unify quarks and leptons into same representations and predict correlations between their masses and mixing. We perform numerical scans in SO(10) GUTs to explore the flavor space with new data of JUNO taken into account. The…
We investigate the phenomenology of top squarks at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in a supersymmetric model where lepton number is identified with an approximate $U(1)_R$ symmetry in such a way that one of the left chiral sneutrinos can…
Using renormalization group techniques, we examine several interesting relations among masses and mixing angles of quarks and leptons in the Standard Model. We extend the analysis to the minimal supersymmetric extension to determine its…
In this work, we have modified a scenario, originally proposed by Grimus and Lavoura, in order to obtain maximal values for atmospheric mixing angle and CP violating Dirac phase of the lepton sector. To achieve this, we have employed CP and…
Understanding the disparate mixing patterns between quarks and leptons is one of the major challenges in particle theory today. I discuss some of the ways to understand this difference within the seesaw framework using new symmetries of…
The quark masses evaluated by the Particle Data Group are consistent with terms in a geometric progression of mass values descending from the Planck Mass. The common ratio of the sequence is 2/pi. The quarks occupy the 'principal' levels of…
We investigate a 5D SU(6) grand gauge-Higgs unification model compactified on an orbifold S^1/Z_2. Ordinary quarks and leptons, together with right-handed neutrinos, are just accommodated into a minimal set of representations of the gauge…
In non-supersymmetric grand unified models a ``radiative fermion mass hierarchy" can be achieved in which the spectrum of quark and lepton masses is determined entirely by physics at the unification scale, with many relations following from…
We propose a model that all quark and lepton mass matrices originally have the same zero texture. Namely their (1,1), (1,3) and (3,1) components are zeros. For the neutrino mass matrix, we further impose the symmetry between the second and…
The low-energy manifestations of a minimal extension of the electroweak standard model based on the quark-lepton symmetry $SU(4)_V \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes G_R$ of the Pati--Salam type are analyzed. Given this symmetry the third type of…
SU(5) $\otimes$ SU(5) provides a minimal grand unification scheme for fermions and gauge forces if there are vector-like quarks and leptons in nature. We explore the gauge coupling unification in a non-supersymmetric model of this type, and…
Based on a supersymmetric Yukawaon model with O(3) family symmetry, possible forms of quark and lepton mixing matrices are systematically investigated under a condition that the up-quark mass matrix form leads to the observed nearly…
Gauge-Higgs grand unification is formulated. By extending $SO(5) \times U(1)_X$ gauge-Higgs electroweak unification, strong interactions are incorporated in $SO(11)$ gauge-Higgs unification in the Randall-Sundrum warped space. Quarks and…
We show that one can explain the neutral and charged anomalies in B-meson decays in the minimal theory for quark-lepton unification.The implications for flavor violating processes are discussed in detail. Strikingly, experimental…
The well-studied radiative model of neutrino mass through $Z_2$ dark matter is shown to be naturally realizable in the context of SU(6) grand unification. A recent new proposal based on U(1)_D dark matter is similarly accommodated in SU(7).…
In this work, we investigate the possibility of probing a class of neutrino mass models at the LHC proton-proton collisions with 8 and 14 TeV energies. The existence of lepton flavor violating interactions for a singlet charged scalar,…
The problem of quark-lepton families is discussed in the "bottom-up" phenomenological approach to the extensions of the Standard model. It provides the possibility of the {\it Horizontal unification} of the three known families on the basis…
Gauge-Higgs grand unification theories are models of gauge-Higgs unification that extend the electroweak group into a simple group that includes the color symmetry. The minimal option is a gauge-Higgs grand unification based on the SU(6)…
I present several scenarios developed in Zagreb, in which TeV-scale particles belonging to non-trivial weak-isospin multiplets give rise to neutrino-mass mechanisms different from conventional type I, II and III seesaw models. Two dim 9…
