Two vector-like families with masses of order 1 TeV, one of which is a doublet of $SU(2)_L$ and the other a doublet of $SU(2)_R$, have been predicted to exist in the context of a viable and economical SUSY composite model. One of the many…
Large neutrino mixing angles suggest that the Yukawa sector is invariant under permutations of the fermion families. This S_{3} permutation symmetry is broken at a large energy scale but much below the unification scale. Assuming that the…
In the framework in which supersymmetry is used for understanding fermion masses rather than stabilizing the electroweak scale, we elaborate the phenomenological analysis for the neutrino physics. A relatively large $\sin{\theta_{13}}$ is…
For understanding the hierarchies of fermion masses and mixing, we extend the Standard Model gauge group with \( U(1)_X \) and \( Z_2 \) symmetry. The field content of the Standard Model is augmented by three heavy right-handed neutrinos,…
The supersymmetric (SUSY) minimal SO(10) model is a well-motivated grand unified theory, where the Standard Model (SM) fermions have Yukawa couplings with only one ${\bf 10}$-plet and one $\overline{\bf 126}$-plet Higgs fields and it is…
We present a composite model of quarks with `effective supersymmetry'. The model is based on the gauge group $(SU(2)_S \times SU(2)_M) \times (SU(2)_U \times SU(2)_C \times SU(2)_T) \times SU(5)_{SM}$, where $SU(5)_{SM}$ is the standard…
We propose a model based on SU(3) family symmetry which leads to a successful description of quark and lepton masses and mixing angles including approximate bi-maximal mixing in the neutrino sector suitable for the LOW or quasi-vacuum solar…
We built an extended 2HDM theory with a spontaneously broken $U(1) _{X}$ global symmetry, where the tree level Universal Seesaw Mechanism generates the mass hierarchy of the Standard Model charged fermions and the Zee-Babu mechanism…
We present an SU(9) model of family unification with three light chiral families, and a natural hierarchy of charged fermion masses and mixings. The existence of singlet right handed neutrions with masses about two orders of magnitude…
Within the context of a viable and economical SUSY preon model, two vector--like families $Q_{L,R} = (U,D,N,E)_{L,R}$ and $Q^\prime_{L,R} = (U^\prime,D^\prime,N^\prime,E^\prime)_{L,R}$ with masses of order 1 TeV, one of which is a doublet…
We discuss the results of a global $\chi^2$ analysis of a simple SO(10) SUSY GUT with $D_3$ family symmetry and low energy R parity. The model describes fermion mass matrices with 14 parameters and gives excellent fits to 20 observable…
We present a realistic supersymmetric SU(5) model combined with a non-anomalous U(1)_F symmetry. We find a set of U(1)_F charges which automatically lead to the realistic mass hierarchy and mixing patterns for quarks, leptons and neutrinos.…
We examine many SO(10) models for their viability or otherwise in explaining all the fermion masses and mixing angles. This study is carried out for both supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric models and with minimal ($10+\bar{126}$) and…
A unification of left-right $\rm{SU}(3)_\rm{L}\times \rm{SU}(3)_\rm{R}$, colour $\rm{SU}(3)_\rm{C}$ and family $\rm{SU}(3)_\rm{F}$ symmetries in a maximal rank-8 subgroup of ${\rm{E}}_8$ is proposed as a landmark for future explorations…
Motivated by the Super-Kamiokande data, we revisit models with U(1) symmetries and discuss the origin of neutrino masses and mixings in such theories. We show that, in models with just three light neutrinos and a hierarchy of neutrino…
We present a new (supersymmetric) framework for obtaining an excellent description of quark, charged lepton and neutrino masses and mixings from a Delta(6n^2) family symmetry with multiplet assignments consistent with an underlying SO(10)…
We present an $E_6$ Grand Unified model with a realistic pattern of fermion masses. All standard model fermions are unified in three fundamental 27-plets (i.e. supersymmetry is not invoked), which involve in addition right handed neutrinos…
The Split-Family supersymmetry is a model in which the sfermion masses of the first two generations are in $\mathcal{O}(100\text{-}1000)$ GeV while that of the third one is in $\mathcal{O}(10)$TeV. With such a hierarchical spectrum, the…
I examine the possibility that the third generation fermion masses are determined by an exact fixed point of the minimal supersymmetric SU(5) model. When one-loop supersymmetric thresholds are included, this unified fixed point successfully…
CP violation, fermion masses and mixing angles including that of neutrinos are studied in an SUSY SO(10)$\times \Delta (48)\times$ U(1) model. The nonabelian SU(3) discrete family symmetry $\Delta(48)$ associated with a simple scheme of…
