We propose a chiral Pati-Salam theory based on the gauge group $SU(4)_C\times SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R$. The left-handed quarks and leptons are unified into a fundamental representation of $SU(4)_C$, while right-handed quarks and leptons have…
We argue that the projective special linear group PSL(2,7), also known as Sigma(168), has unique features which make it the most suitable discrete family symmetry for describing quark and lepton masses and mixing in the framework of SO(10)…
We introduce the notion of pseudo-Hermiticity and show that every Hamiltonian with a real spectrum is pseudo-Hermitian. We point out that all the PT-symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonians studied in the literature belong to the class of…
We use the functorial properties of Rieffel's pseudodifferential calculus to study families of operators associated to topological dynamical systems acted by a symplectic space. Information about the spectra and the essential spectra are…
We study the implications of finite naturalness in Pati-Salam models where $SU(3)_C$ is embedded in $SU(4)$. For the minimal realization at low-scale of quark-lepton unification, which employs the inverse seesaw for neutrino masses, we find…
Pseudo-hermitian matrices are matrices hermitian with respect to an indefinite metric. They can be thought of as the truncation of pseudo-hermitian operators, defined over some Krein space, together with the associated metric, to a finite…
The assumption that space-time is a noncommutative space formed as a product of a continuous four dimensional manifold times a finite space predicts, almost uniquely, the Standard Model with all its fermions, gauge fields, Higgs field and…
Recent progress is reviewed regarding the application of the non-Abelian symmetries S_3, D_4, and A_4 to the understanding of family structure in leptons and quarks.
Aspects of Scalar Meson Dominance in semi- and non-leptonic weak pseudoscalar meson decays are shortly discussed on the basis of the Quark-Level Linear Sigma Model.
We show the scalar potential in the spectral Pati-Salam model does not provide a suitable vacuum to break to the standard model. We see this potential is proton decay free although diquark and leptoquark vertices exist.
We discuss one natural class of kernels on pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces.
We outline our approach to understand the family structure through the idea of a SM-like chiral fermion spectrum, one that is derivable from anomaly cancellation conditions in the same way as the one family SM, under an extended symmetry,…
The category of contexts underlying a model of Martin-L\"of type theory with Unit-, $\Sigma$-, and $\Pi$-types need not be locally Cartesian closed, but is necessarily a $\pi$-clan. We exploit this $\pi$-clan structure to build the theory…
It is shown that a semiclassical Rabi model with parity-time (PT) symmetry has a hidden $sl(2)$ symmetry and hence possesses quasi-exact solutions. These are located precisely at the exceptional points of the spectrum, the boundaries of the…
We perform a complete global phenomenological analysis of a realistic string-inspired model based on the supersymmetric Pati-Salam $SU(4)\times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ gauge group supplemented by a U(1) family symmetry, and present…
Grand Unified Theories based on an E6 gauge group embed all Higgs- and matter fields within one 27 dimensional fundamental representation. In addition each 27 contains a right handed neutrino, an NMSSM-like standard model singlet and a pair…
The aim of this paper is to show the existence and give an explicit description of a pseudo-Riemannian metric and a symplectic form on the $\mathrm{S}\mathrm{L}(3,\mathbb{R})$-Hitchin component, both compatible with Labourie and Loftin's…
We derive the conditions for the one-loop contribution to the cosmological constant to be exponentially suppressed in a class of heterotic string compactifications with three generations of chiral matter, where supersymmetry is…
We extend the classification of free fermionic heterotic-string models to vacua in which the SO(10) GUT symmetry is broken at the string level to the Pati-Salam subgroup. Using our classification method we recently presented the first…
We define a pseudo quasi-3 design as a symmetric design with the property that the derived and residual designs with respect to at least one block are quasi-symmetric. Quasi-symmetric designs can be used to construct optimal self…
