The ultimate dream of unification models consists in combining both gauge and Yukawa couplings into one unified coupling. This is achieved by using a supersymmetric exceptional ${\rm E}_6$ gauge symmetry together with asymptotic unification…
We present results for the renormalized quartic self-coupling $\lambda_R$ and the Yukawa coupling $y_R$ in a lattice fermion-Higgs model with two SU(2)$_L$ doublets, mostly for large values of the bare couplings. One-component (`reduced')…
We investigate self-gravitating solutions of the Einstein-Skyrme theory coupled to spin-isospin Dirac fermions and consider the dependence of the spectral flow on the effective gravitational coupling constant and on the Yukawa coupling. It…
We investigate three different possibilities for improving the fermion mass relations that arise in grand unified theories (GUTs). Each scenario relies on supersymmetric loop effects alone, without modifying the naive Yukawa unification.…
We show that under a new U(1) gauge symmetry, which is non-anomalous in the presence of one ``right-handed neutrino'' per generation and consistent with the standard model Yukawa couplings, the most general fermion charges are determined in…
We study limits of vanishing Yukawa couplings of 4d chiral matter fields in Quantum Gravity, using as a laboratory type IIA orientifolds with D6-branes. In these theories chiral fermions arise at brane intersections, where an infinite tower…
This work is a continuation of our recent study of non-relativistic charged particles, confined to a sphere enclosing a magnetic dipole at its center. In this sequel, we extend our computations in two significant ways. The first is to a…
General issues in the renormalization group evolution of fermion masses and mixings is discussed. An effective fixed point in the top quark Yukawa coupling can strongly constrain its value at the electroweak scale. Predictions following…
We study the weak-field limit of the static spherically symmetric solution of the locally conformally invariant theory advocated in the recent past by Mannheim and Kazanas as an alternative to Einstein's General Relativity. In contrast with…
We develop a dynamical, Lorentz invariant theory of composite scalars in configuration space consisting of chiral fermions, interacting by the perturbative exchange of a massive "gluon" of coupling $g_0$ and mass $M_0^2$ (the coloron…
We investigate the predictions for fermion masses in the minimal realistic non-supersymmetric SU(5) model with the Standard Model matter content. The possibility to achieve b-\tau unification is studied taking into account all relevant…
We systematically examine the compactness of neutron stars as Tolman VII solutions in scalar-tensor theory of gravity. As a result, when the coupling constant is confined to values provided by astronomical observations we show that the…
Neutrino masses are usually described by adding to the Standard Model some SU(2)-singlet fermions that have the Yukawa couplings, as well as some Majorana mass terms. The number of such fields and the scales of their Majorana masses are not…
We study static, spherically symmetric, self-gravitating systems minimally coupled to a scalar field with U(1) gauge symmetry: charged boson stars. We find numerical solutions to the EinsteinMaxwell equations coupled to the relativistic…
We investigate the phenomenology of minimal four-family MSSM supergravity theories containing an additional generation of heavy fermions along with their superpartners. We demand: gauge coupling constant unification at high energy scales;…
Affine Toda field theory with a pure imaginary coupling constant is a non-hermitian theory. Therefore the solutions of the equation of motion are complex. However, in $1+1$ dimensions it has many soliton solutions with remarkable…
We study an extension of the supersymmetric standard model with four families and gauged horizontal symmetry $SU(4)_H$, in which R parity automatically follows as a consequence of gauge invariance and of the field content of the model.…
In the so-called yukawaon model, where the effective Yukawa coupling constants Y_f^{eff} (f=e,\nu,u,d) are given by vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of gauge singlet scalars (yukawaons) Y_f with 3\times 3 components, i.e. Y_f^{eff}= y_f <…
We present the full one-loop correction to the relation between the running MSbar Yukawa coupling, $\overline h_f(\mu)$, at some renormalization scale, $\mu$, and the pole mass, $m_f$, of a fermion, $f$, in the standard model. Our result…
We propose a new method to search for hypothetical scalar particles that have feeble interactions with Standard-Model particles. In the presence of massive bodies, these interactions produce a non-zero Yukawa-type scalar-field magnitude.…
