We propose a realistic A4 extension of the Standard Model involving a particular quark-lepton mass relation, namely that the ratio of the third family mass to the geometric mean of the first and second family masses are equal for down-type…
Against the conventional picture that the mass matrix forms in the quark sectors will take somewhat different structures from those in the lepton sectors, on the basis of an idea that all the mass matrices of quarks and leptons have the…
In this article, we have found significant generalization of the invariance properties of powers of matrices discovered by Larcombe, Fenessey and further explored by Zeilberger. Moreover, we found interesting new results exhibiting similar…
The flavor structure of quarks and leptons is not yet fully understood, but it hints a more fundamental theory of non-universal generations. We therefore propose a simple extension of the Standard Model by flipping (i.e., enlarging) the…
A nonuniversal abelian extension $\mathrm{U(1)}_{X}$ free from chiral anomalies is introduced into the Standard Model (SM), in order to evaluate its suitability in addressing the fermion mass hierarchy (FMH) by using seesaw mechanisms…
Stimulated by the phenomenological success of the universal seesaw mass matrix model, where the mass terms for quarks and leptons f_i (i=1,2,3) and hypothetical super-heavy fermions F_i are given by \bar{f}_L m_L F_R +\bar{F}_L m_R f_R +…
"Electromagnetic mass" where gravitational mass and other physical quantities originate from the electromagnetic field alone has a century long distinguished history. In the introductory chapter we have divided this history into three broad…
We study the effects of a barely perceivable violation of Lorentz invariance on results computed using a relativistic constituent quark model wave function. The model nucleon wave function of Gross {\it et al.} is constructed such thatthere…
Review of results from lattice QCD of relevance to standard-model phenomenology, to appear in Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science. KEY WORDS: hadron masses, quark mixing (CKM) matrix, weak matrix elements, strong coupling…
The conventional quark mass is not continuous at thresholds. In this paper, we derive matchinginvariant quark masses which are continuous everywhere. They are expanded as an obvious function of the logarithmic Lambda scaled energy. The…
A model independent parametrization of an extension of the Standard Model including vector-like quarks, new heavy gauge bosons and an extra scalar, is introduced. Theoretical constraints on the model couplings and hypothetical particle…
A previous short analysis of the seesaw mechanism, based on quark-lepton symmetry, experimental data and hierarchical neutrino spectrum, is enlarged to include small but not zero U_{e3}, inverted mass hierarchy, and the qualitative effect…
The Standard Model of electroweak and strong interactions is reviewed in a pedagogical set of lectures. After an introduction to the quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons, an elementary discussion of gauge theories is given, with application to…
After discussing alternative scenarios for the origins of the electroweak symmetry breaking, I briefly review the experimental status of the Standard Model. I explore further both the hints for, and constraints on, supposing that that a…
We discuss some new invariants of quark mixing and show their usefulness with a simple example. We also present some other new tools for analyzing quark mixing.
In theories in which the parameters of the low energy theory are not unique, perhaps having different values in different domains of the universe as is possible in some inflationary models, the fermion masses would be distributed with…
In the simplest model of horizontal U(1) symmetry with one singlet added to the supersymmetric standard model, we systematically reconstruct quark mass matrices from the low-energy data to prove that there are only two mass matrices found…
We present an introduction into the basic concepts of the Standard Model, i.e. the gauge theories of the forces and the Higgs mechanism for generating masses. The Glashow-Salam-Weinberg theory of the electroweak interactions will be…
The Standard Model of Particle Physics has proven to be tremendously successful as the fundamental theory that describes the elementary particles that compose our Universe, as well as the interactions among them. Despite the countless…
The momentum-space topological invariants, which characterize the ground state of the Standard Model, are continuous functions of two parameters, generated by the hypercharge and by the weak charge. These invariants provide the absence of…
