The observed hierarchy of quark and lepton masses and mixings may be obtained by adding an abelian family symmetry to the Minimal Supersymmetric Model and coupling quarks and leptons to an electroweak singlet scalar field. In a large class…
I discuss a renormalisable model based on $\Delta(27)$ family symmetry with an $SO(10)$ grand unified theory (GUT) with spontaneous geometrical $CP$ violation. The symmetries are broken close to the GUT breaking scale, yielding the minimal…
A simple mechanism to generate Dirac masses for the neutrinos in SU(5) supersymmetric grand unified theory is proposed. The tiny Dirac masses are induced by the small mixing between the Higgs fields and another superheavy fields. The mixing…
We present simple and predictive realizations of neutrino masses in theories based on the $SU(6)$ grand unifying group. At the level of the lowest-dimension operators, this class of models predicts a skew-symmetric flavor structure for the…
No-scale supergravity and the flipped SU(5)$\times$U(1) gauge group provide an ambitious prototype string-inspired scenario for physics below the string scale, which can accommodate the Starobinsky-like inflation favoured by observation…
The only experimentally observed phenomenon that lies outside the standard model of the electroweak interaction is neutrino oscillations. A way to try to unify the extensive neutrino oscillation data is to add a phenomenological mass term…
Assuming that neutrinos are not Majorana fermions and the right handed Dirac neutrino does not exist, we propose a model in which the second and the third generations of the leptons are composites, while the first generation is fundamental.…
We derive renormalization group equations for neutrino masses, leptonic mixing angles and CP-violating phases running at energies above the seesaw threshold, both in the Standard Model and in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model…
We present a supersymmetric model of fermion masses with SU(4)*SU(2)^2*U(1)_X gauge group with matter in fundamental and antisymmetric tensor representations only. The up, down, charged lepton and neutrino Yukawa matrices are distinguished…
We investigate the renormalization group evolution of masses and mixing angles of Majorana neutrinos under the `High Scale Mixing Unification' hypothesis. Assuming the unification of quark-lepton mixing angles at a high scale, we show that…
We propose a non-universal U(1)'_F symmetry combined with the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. All anomaly cancellation conditions are satisfied without exotic fields other than three right-handed neutrinos. Because our model allows…
As was shown in 1984 by Caneschi, Farrar, and Schwimmer, decomposing representations of the supergroup SU(M|N), can give interesting anomaly-free sets of fermion representations of SU(M) x SU(N) x U(1). It is shown here that such groups can…
We propose a model with one large submm size extra dimension in which the gravity and right-handed (RH) neutrino propagate, but the three Standard Model (SM) families are confined to fat branes of TeV^(-1) size or smaller. The charged…
We investigate the neutrino sector in the framework of flavor deconstruction with an inverse-seesaw realization. This setup naturally links the hierarchical charged-fermion masses to the anarchic pattern of light-neutrino mixing. We…
Relying upon the usefulness of the \mu-\tau symmetry, we find a new type of neutrino mass texture with a single phase parameter \delta that describes maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing and Dirac CP violation due to the presence of \delta.…
We discuss whether quark, charged lepton and neutrino masses and mixing angles may be related by an extended flavour and family symmetry group. We show that current measurements of all fermion masses and mixing angles are consistent with a…
A new approach towards the composite structure of quarks and leptons in the context of the higher dimensional unified theories is proposed. Owing to the certain strong dynamics, much like an ordinary QCD, every possible vectorlike…
The large hierarchy between the neutrino mass scale and that of the other fermions seems to be unnatural from a theoretical point of view. Various strategies have been devised in order to generate naturally small values of neutrino masses.…
The Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) mechanism offers an elegant explanation for the observed masses and mixings of Standard Model fermions. In this work, we systematically study FN models in the lepton sector, identifying a broad range of charge…
In this paper, we investigate lepton mass spectra, flavor mixing and CP violation with a modular $S^{}_4$ symmetry under the assumption that neutrinos are Dirac fermions. We find that the Majorana mass term can be forbidden by adjusting the…
