We present a renormalizable fermion mass model based on the symmetry $Q_4$ that accommodates all fermion masses and mixing angles in both the quark and lepton sectors. It requires the presence of only four SU(2) doublet scalar fields…
We propose a left-right model of quarks and leptons based on the gauge group $SU(3)_C \times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$, where the scalar sector consists of only two doublets: (1,2,1,1) and (1,1,2,1). As a result, any fermion…
We consider a left-right symmetric model with an $SU(2)_L$ and an $SU(2)_R$ scalar doublet but without the scalar bidoublet. The charged fermion masses in this model are generated via a universal seesaw mechanism. We add a set of three…
We present a renormalizable flavor model with Z_4 as flavor symmetry in both the quark and lepton sectors. The model is constructed with a minimal approach and no-right handed neutrinos are introduced. In this approach a minimum number of…
We review recent developments in models of fermion masses and mixing for both quark and lepton sectors. Emphases are given to models based on finite group family symmetries. In particular, we describe one recent model based on SU(5)…
We propose a Randall-Sundrum model with a bulk family symmetry based on the double tetrahedral group, T', which generates the tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing pattern and a realistic CKM matrix, including CP violation. Unlike 4D models where…
We propose a model for radiatively generating the hierarchy of the Standard Model (SM) fermion masses: tree-level top quark mass; 1-loop bottom, charm, tau and muon masses; 2-loop masses for the light up, down and strange quarks as well as…
It has been recently claimed that the symmetry group S4 yields to the Tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing in a "natural" way from the group theory point of view. Approving of this feature as an indication, we build a supersymmetric model of…
We propose a 2-Higgs doublet model where the symmetry is extended by $S_{3}\otimes Z_{3}\otimes Z_{3}^{\prime }\otimes Z_{14}$ and the field content is enlarged by extra $SU(2)_{L}$ singlet scalar fields. $S_3$ makes the model predictive…
We study a variation to the SUSY Left-Right symmetric model based on the gauge group $SU(3)_c\times SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times U(1)_{BL}$. Beyond the quark and lepton superfields we only introduce a second Higgs bidoublet to produce…
Recently a new mechanism has been proposed to cure the problem of fermion mass hierarchy in the Standard Model (SM) model. In this scenario, all SM charged fermions other than top quark arise from higher dimensional operators involving the…
A radiative model of quark and lepton masses utilizing the binary tetrahedral ($T^{\prime}$) flavor symmetry, or horizontal symmetry, is proposed which produces the first two generation of quark masses through their interactions with…
I report the analysis performed on fermion masses and mixing, including neutrino mixing, within the context of a model with hierarchical radiative mass generation mechanism for light charged fermions, mediated by exotic scalar particles at…
We study the generation of neutrino masses in the $SU(3)_W$ electroweak unified theory in $M_4\times S_1/(Z_2\times Z'_2)$ spacetime. By appropriate orbifolding, the bulk symmetry $SU(3)_W$ is broken into $SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$ at one of…
It is shown that it is possible to create successful models of flavor for both quarks and leptons using the discrete non-abelian group $T^{\prime}$ by itself. Two simple realizations are presented that can be used as the starting point for…
Extended scalar and fermion sectors offer new opportunities for generating the observed strong hierarchies in the fermion mass and mixing patterns of the Standard Model (SM). In this work, we elaborate on the prospects of a particular…
We propose a predictive $Q_4$ flavored 2HDM model, where the scalar sector is enlarged by the inclusion of several gauge singlet scalars and the fermion sector by the inclusion of right handed Majorana neutrinos. In our model, the $Q_4$…
We propose a model based on the gauge group $SU(4)\times SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R$ where the Dirac masses of all the known fermions are generated as one-loop radiative corrections. We are able to generate realistic quark and lepton masses and…
We present a supersymmetric model of quark and lepton based on $S_4\times Z_3\times Z_4$ flavor symmetry. The $S_4$ symmetry is broken down to Klein four and $Z_3$ subgroups in the neutrino and the charged lepton sectors respectively.…
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…
