The past two decades have seen a revolution in ab initio calculations of nuclear properties. One key element has been the development of a rigorous effective interaction theory, applying unitary transformations to soften the nuclear…
We propose a model with $D_4$ flavor symmetry for leptogenesis in the framework of supersymmetric $SU(5)$ grand unified theory. Neutrino masses arise from the type I seesaw mechanism where the spontaneous symmetry breaking of the flavor…
In this paper, we investigate the implication of modular $\Gamma^{\prime}_5 \simeq A^{\prime}_5$ symmetry on neutrino oscillation phenomenology in the linear seesaw framework. In order to achieve the well defined mass structure for the…
We discuss a class of left-right symmetric theories with a universal seesaw mechanism for fermion masses and mixing and the implications for neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay where neutrino masses are governed by natural…
The observation of neutrino oscillations requires new physics beyond the standard model (SM). A SM-like gauge theory with p lepton families can be extended by introducing q heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos but preserving its SU(2)_L x…
We propose a simple renormalizable grand unified theory based on the $SU(5)$ gauge symmetry where the neutrino masses are generated at the quantum level through the Zee mechanism. In this model the same Higgs needed to correct the mass…
We study supersymmetric models without R parity and with universal soft supersymmetry breaking terms. We show that as a result of the renormalization group flow of the parameters, a misalignment between the directions in field space of the…
We propose a low scale renormalizable left-right symmetric theory that successfully explains the observed SM fermion mass hierarchy, the tiny values for the light active neutrino masses and is consistent with the lepton and baryon…
We present a simple extension of the Standard Model with three right-handed neutrinos in a SUSY framework, with an additional U(1$)_\text{F}$ abelian flavor symmetry with a non standard leptonic charge $L_e-L_\mu-L_\tau$ for lepton doublets…
We address the question of deviations from $3\times 3$ unitarity of the leptonic mixing matrix showing that, contrary to conventional wisdom, one may have significant deviations from unitarity in the framework of type I seesaw mechanism. In…
We propose a unified explanation for the origin of dark matter and baryon number asymmetry on the basis of a non-supersymmetric model for neutrino masses. Neutrino masses are generated in two distinct ways, that is, a tree-level seesaw…
An extension of the Standard Model (SM) is studied in which two right-handed (RH) neutrinos per generation are incorporated, but considering the hypothesis of the symmetry of lepton and quark contents in order to deprive the number of RH…
The Wess-Zumino model on N=1/2 nonanticommutative superspace, which contains the dimension-6 term F^3, is shown to be renormalizable to all orders in perturbation theory, upon adding F and F^2 terms to the original Lagrangian. The…
We explore an anomaly-free ${\textrm U}(1)$ gauge extended beyond the Standard model (BSM) framework, to account for the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, along with arranging for tiny neutrino mass. Neutrino masses are generated via…
We study the simplest renormalizable scalar leptoquark models where the standard model is augmented only by one additional scalar representation of SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1). The requirement that there be no proton decay from renormalizable…
Assuming the same form of all mass matrices as motivated by quark-lepton symmetry, we discuss conditions under which bi-large mixing in the lepton sector can be obtained with a minimal amount of fine tuning requirements for possible models.…
Non-perturbative renormalization of lattice composite operators plays a crucial role in many applications of lattice field theory. We sketch the general problems involved in this task and the methods which are currently used to cope with…
In a recent paper, we showed that tree level up-down unification of fermion Yukawa couplings is a natural consequence of a large class of supersymmetric models. They can lead to viable quark masses and mixings for moderately large values of…
Despite the lack of evidence of new physics at colliders, neutrino masses, dark matter and matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe require an extension of the Standard Model. After discussing some new concepts and tools in the…
The previously developed renormalizable perturbative 1/N-expansion in higher dimensional scalar field theories is extended to gauge theories with fermions. It is based on the $1/N_f$-expansion and results in a logarithmically divergent…
