We propose a new mechanism in which electron and muon masses are induced at one-loop level after dynamically violating the symmetry of the Ising fusion rule. In the neutrino sector, while the neutrino mass is generated at one-loop level,…
One of the most puzzling questions in particle physics concerns the status of the baryon (B) and lepton (L) quantum numbers. On the theoretical side, most new physics scenarios naturally lead to their non-conservation and some amount of…

We construct a novel flavor-dependent gauged lepton number $U(1)_\ell$ model for the hierarchical charged lepton masses and the observed $(g-2)_{e,\mu}$. Only tau participates in the tree-level Standard Model ( SM ) Yukawa interaction. At…
Models with spontaneously broken global lepton number can lead to a pseudo-Goldstone boson as a long-lived dark matter candidate. Here we revisit the case of singlet majoron dark matter and discuss multiple constraints. For masses above…
Supersymmetric theories generally have new flavor and CP violation sources in the squark and slepton mass matrices. They will contribute to the lepton flavor violation processes, such as $\mu \to e \gamma$, which can be probed far below the…
