A mechanism to have the quark mass hierarchy in the supersymmetric composite model is proposed. The source of the hierarchy is the kinetic-term mixing between composite quarks. Such mixing can be expected, if quarks are composite particles.…
We obtain explicitly the renormalization group equations for the quark mass matrices in terms of a set of rephasing invariant parameters. For a range of assumed high energy values for the mass ratios and mixing parameters, they are found to…
Assigning U(1) charges to the quarks of the standard model, and allowing one extra scalar doublet with m^2 > 0, the correct pattern of the up and down quark mass matrices is obtained, together with their charged-current mixing matrix.
We propose a supersymmetric composite model with three generations in which supersymmetry and electroweak symmetry are broken dynamically, and masses of quarks and leptons are generated without introducing any mass scales by hand. All the…
Different approaches to the fermion mass problem are reviewed. We illustrate these approaches by summarizing recent developments in models of quark and lepton mass matrices. Dynamical calculations of the top quark mass are discussed, based…
The Standard Model of particle physics requires Yukawa matrices with eigenval- ues that differ by orders of magnitude. We propose a novel way to explain this fact without any small or large parameters. The mechanism is based on the…
In this talk, we present a procedure to systematically generate a large number of valid mass matrix textures from very generic assumptions. Compared to plain anarchy arguments, we postulate some structure for the theory, such as a possible…
The masses of quarks and leptons suggest a strong hierarchical structure. We argue that their patterns can be reproduced through the introduction of a new Abelian symmetry. The data suggest that this symmetry is anomalous. We suggest that…
We propose a bottom-up approach that a structure of a high-energy physics is explored by accumulating existence proofs and/or no-go theorems in the standard model or its extension. As an illustration, we study fermion mass hierarchies based…
We construct quark mixing matrices within a group theoretic framework which is easily applicable to any number of generations. Familiar cases are retrieved and related, and it is hoped that our viewpoint may have advantages both…
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…
In SO(10) models with a vectorial fourth generation of down quarks and leptons, the structure of the neutrino Majorana and Dirac mass matrices generically coincide with those of up- and down-quarks, respectively. Then the small neutrino…
To solve the mystery of flavor structure, we demonstrate two revelations emerging from the hierarchical masses of quarks: one for the mass matrix itself and one for the CKM mixing. These revelations naturally lead to a non-redundant,…
We present a new mechanism for solving the fermionic masses and mixing hierarchies of the standard model through a minimal symmetry $\mathcal{Z}_2 \times \mathcal{Z}_5$. The mechanism is also capable of explaining the neutrino masses and…
We study the possibility to generate the quark mass hierarchies as well as the CKM quark mixing and CP violation without fine-tuning in a quark flavour model with modular $A_4$ symmetry. The quark mass hierarchies are considered in the…
We show that a simultaneous explanation for fermionic mass hierarchy among and within the fermionic families, quark-mixing, can be obtained in an extension of the standard model, with real singlet scalar fields, which is UV completed by…
We develop a recipe which allows one to recursively and uniquely decouple the large scale from the small scale in mass matrices of the seesaw type, up to any order in the inverse of the large scale. Our method allows one to calculate the…
Recent developments on approaches to the quark lepton mass problem are reviewed. In particular we discuss dynamical calculations of the top quark mass at (a) the infrared quasifixed point of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model…
We construct new invariants and give several theorems which determine in general (i) the number of physically meaningful phases in quark mass matrices and (ii) which elements of these matrices can be rendered real by rephasings. We…
We propose a dynamical mass-generation scenario which naturally realizes the mass hierarchy among the neutrinos, charged leptons and quarks, where the mass is dominated by the self-mass induced through the anomalous (i.e. non-minimal) gauge…
