We propose a new relation between quark mixing matrix and lepton mixing matrix. Since the parameters in the quark sector are well determined, we employ them to describe the mixing of leptons. Phenomenologically, we study the neutrino…
We prove that global anomaly cancellation requires more than one generation of quarks and leptons, provided that the standard model fields propagate in two universal extra dimensions. Furthermore, if the fermions of different generations…
In the Standard Model with a fourth generation of quarks, we study the relation between the Jarlskog invariants and the triangle areas in the 4-by-4 CKM matrix. To identify the leading effects that may probe the CP violation in processes…

We propose a new method for neutrino mass generation through a modified Higgs mechanism by introducing an additional tiny vacuum breaking to the charged Higgs field. With identical particle spectrum as standard electroweak model, this…
Quark number susceptibilities approach their ideal gas limit at sufficiently high temperatures. As in the case of other thermodynamic quantities, this limit itself is altered substantially on lattices with small temporal extent, N_t = 4-8,…
Perturbations from inflation evolve into large scale structure of the late universe, and encode abundant cosmic structure formation physics. We allow freedom in the primordial power spectrum, rather than assuming a power law scale…
We present a generation theorem for positive semigroups on an $L^1$ space. It provides sufficient conditions for the existence of positive and integrable solutions of initial-boundary value problems. An application to a two-phase cell cycle…
A few questions related to white dwarfs' physics is posed. It seems that the modified gravity framework can be a good starting point to provide alternative explanations to cooling processes, their age determination, and Chandrasekhar mass…
This paper is aimed at emphasizing some of the main hints, constraints and difficulties we currently have in trying to understand how globular clusters formed, along with their multiple stellar generations, an issue that must be regarded as…
The quark-lepton mass problem and the ideas of mass protection are reviewed. The Multiple Point Principle is introduced and used within the Standard Model to predict the top quark and Higgs particle masses. We discuss the lightest family…
We show that the boundary between quark-dominated and hadron-dominated regions of nuclear structure may be blurred by multi-nucleon quark clusters arising from color percolation. Recent experiments supporting partial percolation in cold…
Based on a supersymmetric Yukawaon model with O(3) family symmetry, possible forms of quark and lepton mixing matrices are systematically investigated under a condition that the up-quark mass matrix form leads to the observed nearly…
Fermion masses may arise via mixing of elementary fermions with composite fermions of a strong sector in scenarios of strongly-coupled electroweak symmetry breaking. The strong sector may contain leptoquark states with masses as light as…
We describe the development of a theoretical description of the structure of finite nuclei based on a relativistic quark model of the structure of the bound nucleons which interact through the (self-consistent) exchange of scalar and vector…
We point out that if quark and lepton masses arise dynamically, then in a wide class of theories the corresponding running masses $m_{f_j}(p)$ exhibit the power-law decay $m_{f_j}(p) \propto \Lambda_j^2/p^2$ for Euclidean momenta $p >>…
The new quantum number is introduced. It is shown that the conservation of -number results in the conservation of difference between baryon and lepton numbers. The problem of quark-lepton symmetry is discussed. It is shown that the nature…
In string theory there seems to be an intimate connection between spacetime and world-sheet physics. Following this line of thought we investigate the family problem in a particular class of string solutions, namely the free fermionic…
Despite the remarkable success of the Standard Model, the hierarchy and patterns of fermion masses and mixings remain a profound mystery. To address this, we propose a model employing the rank mechanism, where the originally massless quarks…
We study neutrino mass generation in models with four chiral families of leptons and quarks and four right handed neutrinos. Generically, in these models there are three different contributions to the light neutrino masses: the usual…
