We propose a new class of transforms that we call {\it Lehmer Transform} which is motivated by the {\it Lehmer mean function}. The proposed {\it Lehmer transform} decomposes a function of a sample into their constituting statistical…

We propose a new family structure for the Standard Model fermions, where the muon is assigned to the third family, taking the placeholder from the tau lepton. This reassignment, which is a mere choice of convention in the Standard Model,…

We derive general and explicit expressions for the unrenormalized and renormalized dressed propagators of fermions in parity-nonconserving theories with inter-generation mixing. The mass eigenvalues, the corresponding mass counterterms, and…

We describe a geometric picture for the pattern of fermion masses of the three generations which is invariant with respect to the renormalization group below the electroweak scale. Moreover, we predict the upper limit for the ratio between…

Heavy dynamical fermions with masses around the cut-off do not change the low energy physics apart from a finite renormalization of the gauge coupling. In this paper we study how light the heavy fermions have to be to cause more than this…

Modification of the particles in the course of the source evolution is considered. Influence of this effect on multiplicities and correlations of the particles is displayed, including an enhancement of the production rates and identical…

The Fermion flavor structure is investigated by bilinear decomposition of the mass matrix after EW symmetry breaking, and the roles of factorized matrices in flavor mixing and mass generation are explored. It is shown that flavor mixing can…
