The solar and baseline neutrino oscillation data suggest bimaximal neutrino mixing among the first two generations, and trimaximal mixing between all three neutrino flavors. It has been conjectured that this indicates the existence of an…
We propose a model for the mass matrices of quarks and leptons based on two Abelian flavor symmetries. One is assumed to be broken at a high energy region near the Planck scale. It is used for the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism in both quark…
$\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry imposed on the neutrino mass matrix in the flavour basis is known to be quite predictive. We integrate this very specific neutrino symmetry into a more general framework based on the supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified…
In this paper, we move from a "proof of concept" to challenging predictions in a flavour model emerging from a single fermion family in six dimensions (6-D) with the two extra dimensions compactified on a sphere. The most striking…
We develop a bottom-up approach to constructing a theory of fermion masses and mixing angles based on the gauge group $SU(3)\times G$ where SU(3) is a family symmetry and $G$ contains a unified group such as SO(10) or its Pati-Salam…
Flavor physics, like cosmology, is likely in need of new basic ideas; the puzzles of elementary particle mass hierarchies and in particular the e-mu-tau and neutrino ones still remain mysteries. In this paper a new idea of dynamical…
Strongly coupled supersymmetric theories can give rise to composite quarks and leptons at low energy. We show that the internal structure of these particles can explain the origin of three generations and provide a qualitative understanding…
In the framework of canonical seesaw model, we present a simple but viable scenario to explicitly break an $S^{}_{3{\rm L}} \times S^{}_{3{\rm R}}$ flavor symmetry in the leptonic sector. It turns out that the leptonic flavor mixing matrix…
I proposed a unified model of particle physic and cosmology in \cite {1}, which can simultaneously account for these origin of the inflation, dark energy, dark matter, neutrino mass and baryon asymmetry. I here focus on the fermion flavor…
We propose a scenario which accommodates all the masses and mixings of the SM fermions in a model of warped extra-dimensions with all matter fields in the bulk. In this scenario, the same flavor symmetric structure is imposed on all the…
It is shown that a fermion mass matrix changing in orientation (rotating) with changing scales can give a simple yet near-quantitative explanation for quark mixing, neutrino oscillations and the fermion mass hierarchy.
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…
Recent measurements of the neutrino solar mixing angle and the Cabibbo angle satisfy the empirical relation theta_{sol} + theta_{C} ~ 45^{o}. This relation suggests the existence of a correlation between the mixing matrices of leptons and…
We propose a $U(1)_L$ model with $A_4$ symmetry in light of the linear seesaw for majorana neutrino that capable of generating the current lepton and quark mass and mixing patterns. The smallness of Majorana neutrino mass is reproduced…
The observed pattern of fermion masses and mixing is an outstanding puzzle in particle physics, generally known as the flavor problem. Over the years, guided by precision neutrino oscillation data, discrete flavor symmetries have often been…
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…
Recent data of reactor neutrino experiments set more stringent constraint on leptonic mixing patterns. We examine all possible patterns on the basis of combinations of elementary correlations of elements of leptonic mixing matrix. we obtain…
We calculate quark and lepton masses and quark mixing angles in the framework of a supersymmetric SU(4)$\otimes$SU(2)$_L\otimes$SU(2)$_R$ model where the gauge group is broken at 10$^{16}$ GeV. The model predicts third family top-bottom-tau…
We suggest a new particle model based on the symmetry group $SU(3)_{C}\otimes SU(2)_{L}\otimes SU(2)_{L'}\otimes SU(2)_{R}\otimes U(1)_{B-L}\otimes SU(3)_{F}\otimes U(1)_{N}$. The family symmetry and the high-energy left-handed and…
Experimental results indicate a possible relation between the lepton and quark mixing matrices of the form U_PMNS \approx V_CKM^\dagger U_X, where U_X is a matrix with special structure related to the mechanism of neutrino mass generation.…
