Current constraints on flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNCs) strongly indicate that any new physics emerging at the 1-10 TeV scale must adhere to the Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV) principle, where Yukawa couplings are the sole sources…
Gauging a specific difference of lepton numbers such as $L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$ is a popular model-building option, which gives rise to economical explanations for the muon anomalous magnetic moment. However, this choice of gauge group seems…
Why the charged lepton mass formula m_e +m_\mu +m_\tau = {2/3} (\sqrt{m_e}+\sqrt{m_\mu} +\sqrt{m_\tau})^2 is mysterious is reviewed, and guiding principles to solve the mystery are presented. According to the principles, an example of such…
Based on a new approach to quark and lepton masses, where the mass spectra originate in vacuum expectation values of O(3)-flavor 1+5 (gauge singlet) scalars, a neutrino mass matrix of a new type is speculated. The mass matrix is described…
According to an idea that the quark and lepton mass spectra originate in a VEV structure of a U(3)-flavor nonet scalar \Phi, the mass spectra of the down-quarks and charged leptons are investigated. The U(3) flavor symmetry is spontaneously…
We present a modified version of the Koide formula from a scalar potential model or from a Yukawaon model, based on scalar fields set up in a nonet representation of the SU(3) flavor symmetry in the Standard Model. The Koide's character,…
Recently, we proposed a unified mass matrix model for quarks and leptons, in which, mass ratios and mixings of the quarks and neutrinos are described by using only the observed charged lepton mass values as family-number-dependent…
In this work, we investigate the phenomenological consequences of a doubly charged scalar which may belong to different uncoloured scalar multiplets. This doubly charged scalar couples to the charged leptons as well as gauge bosons, which…
It is investigated what constraints are imposed on the so-called yukawaon model when we regard quarks and leptons as $(\bar{\bf 5}_i+{\bf 10}_i+{\bf 1}_i)$ of SU(5) ($i=1,2,3$: index of U(3) family symmetry). In past yukawaon models, the…
We consider the minimal 3-3-1 model with a heavy scalar sextet and realize, at the tree level, an effective dimension-five interaction that contributes to the mass of the charged leptons. In this case the charged leptons masses arise from a…
The gauging of the lepton flavour group is considered in the Standard Model context and in its extension with three right-handed neutrinos. The anomaly cancellation conditions lead to a Seesaw mechanism as underlying dynamics for all…
We explore alternative descriptions of the charged lepton sector in modular invariant models of lepton masses and mixing angles. In addition to the modulus, the symmetry breaking sector of our models includes ordinary flavons. Neutrino mass…
We construct a multiscalar and non-renormalizable model where the $\mathbf{S}_{3}$ flavor symmetry drives mainly the Yukawa couplings. In the quark sector, the Nearest Neighbor Interaction (NNI) textures are behind the CKM mixing matrix so…
On the basis of a supersymmetric yukawaon model, Sumino's relation for charged lepton masses is re-derived. A relation between values of $K(\mu) \equiv (m_e +m_\mu + m_\tau)/(\sqrt{m_e} + \sqrt{m_\mu} + \sqrt{m_\tau})^2$ and $\kappa(\mu)…
A charged lepton mass formula $(m_e +m_\mu + m_\tau)/(\sqrt{m_e}+\sqrt{m_\mu} + \sqrt{m_\tau})^2 =2/3$ is well-known. Since we can, in general, have two relations for three quantities, we may also expect another relation for the charged…
The Standard Model, if extended to the energy scale of $\mathcal{O}(1)$ TeV, the known particle spectrum could be augmented with a scalar leptoquark. Within this minimally extended framework, explaining the anomalous magnetic moment and…
Many new physics scenarios beyond the Standard Model (BSM) necessitate the existence of new neutral and/or charged scalar fields, which might couple to the SM charged leptons (but not hadrons), and thus, can give rise to BSM signals while…
In recent years, evidence for lepton flavour universality violation beyond the Standard Model has been accumulated. In this context, a singly charged $SU(2)_L$ singlet scalar ($\phi^\pm$) is very interesting, as it can only have flavour…
In the so-called "Yukawaon" model, the (effective) Yukawa coupling constants $Y_f^{eff}$ are given by vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of scalars $Y_f$ (Yukawaons) with $3\times 3$ components. In this brief report, we change VEV forms…
