We reexamine a succesful fermion mass Ansatz proposed by Giudice for a wide range of the ratio $tan\beta =\frac {<\bar h>}{<h>}$ (where ${\bar h},h$ are the two standard higgs fields), in the context of supersymmetric grand unified…
It is well known that the supersymmetric finite threshold effects can induce substantial corrections to the Standard Model fermion masses. This opens an alternative possibility to correct the problematic mass ratios of the lighter…
All-loop Finite Unified Theories (FUTs) are very interesting N = 1 supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) realising an old field theory dream, and moreover have a remarkable predictive power due to the required reduction of couplings.…
The one-loop evolution of Yukawa couplings in the minimal supersymmetric left-right model (MSUSYLR) model with a wide variation of the right handed breaking scale $M_R$ from 1 TeV to $10^{18}$ GeV is studied assuming that all third…
I briefly outline the most prominent features of a novel $SU(5)$ unification model proposal. The particle content of the model comprises $5_H$, $24_H$, $35_H$, ${\overline{5}_F}_i$, ${10_F}_i$, $15_F$, $\overline{15}_F$, and $24_V$, where…
The calculation of Yukawa couplings in F-theory GUTs is developed. The method is applied to the top and bottom Yukawa couplings in an SU(5) model of fermion masses based on family symmetries coming from the SU(5)_\perp factor in the…
The starting point in this note is the charged-lepton mass formula successfully predicting the figure m_\tau = 1776.80 MeV for \tau-lepton mass versus its recent experimental value m_\tau = 1776.82 \pm 0.16 MeV. There, two experimental…
Dynamical equations for fermion masses are derived using high scale universal mass generation and consequent mass evolution due to $SU(3), SU(2)$, and U(1$ gauge interaction. Assuming mass generation at the GUT scale $M=10^{14}$ GeV, one…
Supersymmetric $SO(10)$ grand unified models with renormalizable Yukawa couplings involving only ${\bf 10}$ and $\overline{\bf 126}$ Higgs fields have been shown to realize the fermion masses and mixings economically. In previous works, the…
Higher dimensional grand unified theories, with gauge symmetry breaking by orbifold compactification, possess SU(5) breaking at fixed points, and do not automatically lead to tree-level gauge coupling unification. A new framework is…
We study a class of superstring models compactified in the 3-generation Calabi-Yau manifold of Tian and Yau. Our analysis includes the complete $E_6$-singlet sector, which has been recently evaluated using techniques of spectral and exact…
The recent evidence for neutrino oscillations stimulate us to discuss again the problem of fermion masses and mixings in gauge theories. In the standard model, several forms for quark mass matrices are equivalent. They become ansatze within…
The family symmetry $SU(3)\otimes U(1)$ is proposed to solve flavor problems about fermion masses and flavor mixings. It's breaking is implemented by some flavon fields at the high-energy scale. In addition a discrete group $Z_{2}$ is…
It now appears phenomenologically that the third family of fundamental fermions may be essentially different fron the first two. Particularly the high value (174GeV?) of the top quark mass suggests a special role. In the standard model all…
Grand unified theories with fermions transforming as irreducible representations of a discrete nonabelian flavor symmetry can lead to realistic fermion masses, without requiring very small fundamental parameters. We construct a specific…
The idea of grand unification in a minimal supersymmetric SU(5)xSU(5) framework is revisited. It is shown that the unification of gauge couplings into a unique coupling constant can be achieved at a high-energy scale compatible with proton…
A mechanism is suggested by which the dynamics of confinement could be responsible for the fermion mass matrix. In this approach the large top quark Yukawa coupling is generated naturally during confinement, while those of the other quarks…
To explain quark and lepton masses and mixing angles, one has to extend the standard model, and the usual practice is to put the quarks and leptons into irreducible representations of discrete groups. We argue that discrete flavor…
Within the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Model (CMSSM) it is possible to predict the low energy gauge couplings and masses of the 3 generation particles from a few supergravity inspired parameters at the GUT scale. Moreover, the CMSSM…
We make a systematic theoretical analysis of the masses and their variation with energy by solving the renormalization group equation (RGE) in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The unification fermion masses of around 115…
