We propose a minimal model which accommodates the long-standing anomaly of muon magnetic moment based on abelian discrete flavor symmetries. The standard model is extended by scalar doublets charged under a $Z_n$ lepton flavor symmetry. In…
We amend the incorrect discussion in Nucl. Phys. B 886 (2014) 569 [1] concerning the numerical examples considered there. In particular, we discuss the viability of minimal radiative models of Resonant Leptogenesis and prove that no…
Precision tests of the Standard Model (SM) currently show a deficit in first-row Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) unitarity. In this talk, we discuss progress towards a correlated analysis of the lattice-QCD inputs needed to test this…
We calculate QED corrections to the semileptonic decays $H_1 \to H_2\ell^+\ell^-$ where $\ell=e, \mu$ and $H_{1,2}$ are hadrons. The soft and/or collinear divergences are regulated in a gauge-invariant manner and demonstrably cancel,…
A minimal extension of the Standard Model containing the four-color quark-lepton symmetry is discussed. Some features of an additional $Z'$-boson originated from this symmetry are investigated and the limits on $m_{Z'}$ from the current…
Let $K$ be a finite tamely ramified extension of $\Q_p$ and let $L/K$ be a totally ramified $(\Z/p^n\Z)$-extension. Let $\pi_L$ be a uniformizer for $L$, let $\sigma$ be a generator for $\Gal(L/K)$, and let $f(X)$ be an element of $\O_K[X]$…
In this paper, we establish a coupling lemma for standard families in the setting of piecewise expanding interval maps with countably many branches. Our method merely requires that the expanding map satisfies Chernov's one-step expansion at…
We explore a $Z^\prime$ boson coupled only with the Standard Model (SM) fermions ($Z^\prime f\bar{f}$) in the framework of Minimal Flavor Violation. We study its effects on the processes with lepton flavor violation $\ell_j\to…
A flavor-dependent model (FDM) is proposed in this work. The model extends the Standard Model by an extra $U(1)_F$ local gauge group, two scalar doublets, one scalar singlet and two right-handed neutrinos, where the additional $U(1)_F$…
We present a systematic analysis of a minimal supersymmetric $Z_3$ discrete flavor symmetry as a solution to the fermion mass hierarchy problem. With generation-dependent $Z_3$ charges on the right-handed chiral superfields and a single…
The combination of simple dynamics, small number of available decay channels, and extremely well controlled radiative and loop corrections, make charged pion decays a sensitive means for testing the underlying symmetries and the…
Motivated by the idea of comprehensive unification, we study a gauged SO(3) flavor extension of the extended Standard Model, including right-handed neutrinos and a Peccei-Quinn symmetry with simple charge assignments. The model accommodates…
The charged lepton masses may be parametrized in a Z3-symmetric language appropriate to the discussions of Koide's formula. The phase parameter \delta_L appearing in this parametrization is experimentally indistinguishable from 2/9. We…
We report the results of a measurement of susceptibilities in noncompact $QED_4$ in $8^4, 10^4$ and $12^4$ lattices. Due to the potentialities of the $MFA$ approach, we have done simulations in the chiral limit which are therefore free from…
We explore the possibility that lepton family numbers and baryon number are such good symmetries of Nature because they are the global remnant of a spontaneously broken gauge symmetry. An almost arbitrary linear combination of these…
The scaling dimensions of charged operators in conformal field theory have recently been predicted to exhibit universal behavior in the large charge limit. We verify this behavior in the 2+1 dimensional CPN model. Specifically, we…
The threshold scan at future lepton colliders is the most precise known method to determine the top quark mass (well below 100 MeV), a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model that co-determines the stability properties of the…
We improve the precision of the topological susceptibility of QCD, and therefore of the QCD axion mass, by including $O(\alpha_{\rm em})$ and NNLO corrections in the chiral expansion, which amount to 0.65(21)% and -0.71(29)% respectively.…
Renormalizability of the (minimal) single-fermion QED extension is investigated at all orders of perturbation theory in the framework of algebraic renormalization, a regularization-independent method. Relative to the standard QED, new…
Minimal Flavour Violation in its strong or weak versions, based on $U(3)^3$ and $U(2)^3$ respectively, allows suitable extensions of the Standard Model at the TeV scale to comply with current flavour constraints in the quark sector. Here we…
