We obtain explicitly the renormalization group equations for the quark mass matrices in terms of a set of rephasing invariant parameters. For a range of assumed high energy values for the mass ratios and mixing parameters, they are found to…
Three-loop counterterms for the Standard Model (SM) revealed that the matrix of anomalous dimensions ($\gamma$) of quarks is divergent in the $d \to 4$ limit unless a carefully chosen non-Hermitian square-root of $Z$ matrix is used in the…
The $\mu \leftrightarrow \tau$ symmetry has been ruled out by its predictions on the reactor and atmospheric angles, nevertheless, a breaking of this symmetry might provide correct values. For that reason, we build a non-renormalizable…
We present a simple four-dimensional model in which anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking naturally dominates. The central ingredient is that the hidden sector is near a strongly-coupled infrared fixed-point for several decades of energy…
We introduce a new class of models describing the quark mass hierarchy. In this class, the dynamics primarily responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) leads to the mass spectrum of quarks with no (or weak) isospin violation.…
A democratic form version of the Rosner-Worah quark mass matrix is discussed from a phenomenological point of view. It is pointed out that an ansatz of "maximal CP violation" can provide reasonable values of the Kobayashi-Maskawa mixings.
We perform a finite group analysis on the quark mass matrices. We argue that the dominant terms should be proportional to class operators of the group and that symmetry breaking to split the mass spectrum and simultaneous diagonalizability…
A mechanism to have the quark mass hierarchy in the supersymmetric composite model is proposed. The source of the hierarchy is the kinetic-term mixing between composite quarks. Such mixing can be expected, if quarks are composite particles.…
In the light of several recent analyses pointing towards texture 4-zero Fritzsch-like quark mass matrices as the only viable structures for quark mass matrices, this work adopts a model independent approach to reconstruct an alternate and…
We suggest an approach to explain the observed pattern of the neutrino masses and mixing which employs the weakly broken quark-lepton symmetry and does not require introduction of an ad hoc symmetry of the neutrino sector. The mass matrices…
To extract sum rules of CKM matrix elements, eigenvalue problems for quasi-democratic mass matrices are solved in the first order perturbation approximation with respect to small deviations from the democratic limit. Mass spectra of up and…
We present a model for quark masses and mixing, featuring geometrical CP violation through a \Delta(27) triplet. By employing a single U(1)_F or Z_N symmetry in addition to \Delta(27), we forbid all terms in the scalar potential that would…
We emphasize the role that anomalous power-law scaling of 4-fermion operators, occurring in the presence of new strong interactions, could have in the generation of quark and lepton masses.
Based on experimental mass hierarchy, a set of flavor-democratic (FD) quark mass matrices at low energies is discussed. The model predicts CP violation parameters $J_{CP}=(0.3 \pm 0.2) 10^{-4}$ and ${\epsilon'/\epsilon} = (0.6 \pm 0.5)…
The renormalization effect on a specific ansatz of lepton mass matrices, arising naturally from the breaking of flavor democracy for charged leptons and that of mass degeneracy for light neutrinos, is studied from a superhigh energy scale…
Dimensional transmutation in classically conformal invariant theories may explain the electro-weak scale and the fact that so far nothing but the Standard Model (SM) particles have been observed. We discuss in this paper implications of…
It is shown that the well established and confirmed neutrino experimental results, such as atmospheric neutrino oscillations and solar neutrino deficit, can be easily explained for "democratic" left-handed Majorana neutrinos, taking into…
We study dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking in the Randall-Sundrum scenario. We show that one extra dimension is enough to give the correct pattern of electroweak symmetry breaking in a simple model with gauge bosons and the…
A ${\cal G}_{\cal F}=SU(3)_{Q}\times SU(3)_{u}\times SU(3)_{d}$ invariant scalar potential breaking spontaneously the quark flavor symmetry can explain the standard model flavor puzzle. The approximate alignment in flavor space of the…
Mass pattern of the SM fermions is one of the most important mysterious in particle physics. Flavor Democracy could shed light on this mystery. Addition of isosinglet quark and isosinglet lepton give opportunity to obtain masses of charged…
