The SU(3) breaking effects due to light quark masses on heavy meson masses, decay constants ($F_{D}, F_{D_{s}}$) and the form factor for semileptonic $\overline{B}\rightarrow D^{(\ast)} l\bar{\nu}_{l}$ transitions are formulated in chiral…
Let $p$ be an odd prime and $S$ a nonabelian finite $p$-group. In [9, 10], they proposed the following conjecture: if $\mathcal{F}$ be a transitive fusion system over a finite $p$-group $S$, then $S$ is either extraspecial of order $p^{3}$…
In this note we consider the behavior of linear systems of P^3 through fat points under a cubo-cubic Cremona transformation. This allows us to produce a class of special systems which we conjecture to be the only ones.
We extend a fermion mass matrix Ansatz by Giuduce to include neutrino masses. The previous predictions are maintained. With two additional parameters, a large Majorana neutrino mass and a hierarchy factor, we have seven {\it further} low…
We find a sharp combinatorial bound for the metric entropy of sets in R^n and general classes of functions. This solves two basic combinatorial conjectures on the empirical processes. 1. A class of functions satisfies the uniform Central…
We discuss phenomenological implications of non-invertible selection rules in the framework of the supersymmetric standard model. We find that a remnant $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry of fusion algebras which holds at all-loop order plays the role…
Given a matrix $\mathbf{A} \in \mathbb{R}^{k \times n}$, a partitioning of $[k]$ into groups $S_1,\dots,S_m$, an outer norm $p$, and a collection of inner norms such that either $p \ge 1$ and $p_1,\dots,p_m \ge 2$ or $p_1=\dots=p_m=p \ge…
We study the tensor product of principal unitary representations of the quantum Lorentz group, prove a decomposition theorem and compute the associated intertwiners. We show that these intertwiners can be expressed in terms of complex…
We study higher limits over the centric orbit category of a fusion system realized by an amalgamated product. In so doing we provide a novel technique for studying the Diaz-Park sharpness conjecture and prove it (in the case of the…
The observed Standard Model (SM) quark/lepton mass hierarchies and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) mixing pattern are described in an ${\rm SU}(8)$ theory through its realistic symmetry breaking pattern with three intermediate stages,…
In this paper, we shall prove two conjectures of Z.-W. Sun concerning Ap\'ery-like series. One of the series is alternating whereas the other one is not. Our main strategy is to convert the series (resp.~the alternating series) to…
The generalized $\mu$-$\tau$ interchange symmetry in the leptonic mixing matrix $U$ corresponds to the relations: $|U_{\mu i}|=|U_{\tau i}|$ with $i=1,2,3$. It predicts maximal atmospheric mixing and maximal Dirac CP violation given…
Prediction of low-mass $W_R$ and $Z_R$ gauge bosons in popular grand unified theories has been the subject of considerable attention over the last three decades. In this work we show that when gravity induced corrections due to dim.5…
We describe a supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory based on the gauge group $\SU(5)^3$, or $\SO(10)^3$, invariant under the interchange of any~SU(5), or~SO(10), with each family multiplet transforming non trivially under one different…
If the standard model of quarks and leptons is extended to include three singlet right-handed neutrinos, then the resulting fermion structure admits an infinite number of anomaly-free solutions with just one simple constraint. Well-known…
Let $J(m)$ be an $m\times m$ Jordan block with eigenvalue $1$. For $\lambda\in \mathbb{C}\setminus\{0,1\}$, we explicitly construct all rank $2$ local systems of geometric origin on $\mathbb{P}^1\setminus\{0,1,\lambda, \infty\}$, with local…
New data from neutrino oscillation experiments motivate us to extend a successful mass relation for the charged leptons to the other fundamental fermions. This new universal relation requires a Dirac mass around 3 10^-2 eV for the lightest…
Most of what is known about neutrino masses and mixings results from studies of oscillation phenomena. We focus on those neutrino properties that are not amenable to such studies: $\Sigma $, the sum of the absolute values of the neutrino…
A weight function which $q$-generalizes the ground state wave function of the multi-component Calogero-Sutherland quantum many body system is introduced. Conjectures, and some proofs in special cases, are given for a constant term identity…
A discrete R-symmetry often appears as an exact gauge symmetry in the low energy effective theory of superstring theories. We search for such discrete R-symmetries from a phenomenological point of view and find that Z_{9R} and Z_{18R} are…
