Non-supersymmetric grand unified theories based on SU(5) have had a revival during the past years. This is mainly due to their ability to connect neutrino masses with unification and proton decay. In that way they provide a framework for…
We consider a neutrino mass model where all leptonic mixing is induced by a heavy Majorana sector through the seesaw type I mechanism, while the Dirac mass matrices are diagonal. Such a pattern occurs naturally in grand unified theories.…
In this contribution we outline the correlation between intergenerational slepton mass splittings and low energy lepton flavour violation in supersymmetric type-I and type-III seesaws, and illustrate how the combination of these two sets of…
We construct a supersymmetric grand unified model in the framework of a latticized extra dimension. The SU(5) symmetries on the lattice are broken by the vacuum expectation values of the link fields connecting adjacent SU(5) sites, leaving…
We propose the minimal and renormalizable non-supersymmetric top SU(5) models where the $SU(5)\times SU(3)'_C \times SU(2)'_L \times U(1)'_Y$ gauge symmetry is broken down to the Standard Model (SM) gauge symmetry at the TeV scale. The…
A simple extension of the minimal renormalizable supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theory by adding a 120-dimensional Higgs representation is examined. This brings new antisymmetric contributions to the relevant quark and lepton mass sum…
We adopt a bottom-up approach to reconstruct the possible neutrino mass matrix patterns, in the hypothesis that $\lambda = \sin \theta_C$, where $\theta_C$ is the Cabibbo angle, is a useful expansion parameter in the neutrino sector as it…
Motivated by the possibility that new (gauge) symmetries which are broken at the grand- (string-) unification scale give rise to texture zeros in the fermion mass matrices which are at the origin of the hierarchy of masses and mixings we…
We study the hierarchy of quark masses and mixings in a model based on a 5-dimensional spacetime with constant curvature of Randall-Sundrum type with two branes, where the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking is caused dynamically by the…
We study flavor violation in a supersymmetric SU(5) grand unification scenario in a model-independent way employing mass insertions. We examine how the quark and the lepton sector observables restrict sfermion mixings. With a low soft…
We construct a model in which the hierarchies of the quark and lepton masses and mixing are explained by the $\Gamma_6^\prime$ modular flavor symmetry. The hierarchies are realized by the Froggatt-Nielsen-like mechanism due to the residual…
We present the first example of a grand unified theory (GUT) with a modular symmetry interpreted as a family symmetry. The theory is based on supersymmetric $SU(5)$ in 6d, where the two extra dimensions are compactified on a…
In the standard model (SM), the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix is the only origin of flavor violations (FVs). On the other hand, in general, there are a lot of sources of the FVs in a physics beyond the SM, through the diagonalizing…
We present a flavor model with the $S_3$ modular invariance in the framework of SU(5) GUT. The $S_3$ modular forms of weights $2$ and $4$ give the quark and lepton mass matrices with a common complex parameter, the modulus $\tau$. The GUT…
In this paper, we give a model for understanding flavor physics in the lepton sector--mass hierarchy among different generations and neutrino mixing pattern. The model is constructed in the framework of supersymmetry, with a family symmetry…
Building an organized Yukawa structure of quarks and leptons is an essential mission to understand fermion mass hierarchy and flavor mixing in particle physics. Inspired by the similarity of CKM and PMNS mixings, a common mass pattern for…
We formulate and discuss a 4-dimensional SUSY version of an A4 model for tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing which is completely natural. We also study the next-to-the-leading corrections and show that they are small, once the ratios of A4…
We propose a model based on the $SU(5)$ grand unification with an extra $Z_{2}\otimes Z_{2}^{\prime}\otimes Z_{2}^{\prime \prime}\otimes Z_{4}\otimes Z_{12}$ flavor symmetry, which successfully describes the observed SM fermion mass and…
We consider the neutrino masses and mixing in the framework of SO(10) GUTs with hidden sector consisting of fermionic and bosonic SO(10) singlets and flavor symmetries. The framework allows to disentangle the CKM physics responsible for the…
After a brief review of quark-lepton relations in grand unified theories (GUT), we show that the Pati-Salam relation with only one type of Higgs field configuration with "four zero symmetric texture" can reproduce two large neutrino mixings…
