We consider the supersymmetric seesaw mechanism induced by the exchange of heavy SU(2)_W triplet states, rather than `right-handed' neutrino singlets, to generate neutrino masses. We show that in this scenario the neutrino flavour structure…
We calculate meson correlators in the epsilon-regime within partially quenched chiral perturbation theory. The valence quark masses and sea quark masses can be chosen arbitrary and all non-degenerate. Taking some of the sea quark masses to…
In this paper, realistic CPT-symmetric united at substance quark and neutrino mixing matrices are studied by the idea that they are shifted from respectively unit and bimaximal benchmark matrices by one new small universal empirical…
Contrary to the quark mixing matrix, the lepton mixing matrix could be symmetric. We study the phenomenological consequences of this possibility. In particular, we find that symmetry would imply that |U_{e3}| is larger than 0.16, i.e.,…
The quark mixing (CKM) matrix is near-diagonal, whereas the lepton mixing (PMNS) matrix is not. We learn that both observations can generically be explained within an ultraviolet completion of the Standard Model with gravity. We find that…
Parametrization of the quark and lepton mixing matrices is the first attempt to understand the mixing of fermions. In this work, we parameterize the quark and lepton matrices with the help of quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) in a…
In this paper, we present a more detailed version of our previous work for three-particle correlations in quark and gluon jets [1]. We give theoretical results for this observable in the double logarithmic approximation and the modified…
Neutrino oscillations data indicates that neutrino mixings are consistent with an apparent $\nu_\mu - \nu_\tau$ exchange symmetry in neutrino mass matrix. We observe that in the mininimally extended standard model with the see-saw…
We prove analogues of some classical results from Diophantine approximation and metric number theory (namely Dirichlet's theorem and the Duffin--Schaeffer theorem) in the setting of diagonal Diophantine approximation, i.e. approximating…
Commensurate scale relations are perturbative QCD predictions which relate observable to observable at fixed relative scale, such as the "generalized Crewther relation", which connects the Bjorken and Gross-Llewellyn Smith deep inelastic…
We present a general framework for models in which the lepton mixing matrix is the product of the maximal mixing matrix U_\omega\ times a matrix constrained by a well-defined Z_2 symmetry. Our framework relies on neither supersymmetry nor…
Conformal symmetry is broken in physical QCD; nevertheless, one can use conformal symmetry as a template, systematically correcting for its nonzero $\beta$ function as well as higher-twist effects. For example, commensurate scale relations…
A recent parameterisation scheme developed for the quark mixing matrix is shown to be easily applicable to the lepton mixing matrix as well.
We study the consequences of the $Z_2$-symmetry behind the $\mu$--$\tau$ universality in neutrino mass matrix. We then implement this symmetry in the type-I seesaw mechanism and show how it can accommodate all sorts of lepton mass…
Symmetric extensions are essential in quantum mechanics, providing a lens to investigate the correlations of entangled quantum systems and to address challenges like the quantum marginal problem. Though semi-definite programming (SDP) is a…
Observation of non-zero neutrino masses at a scale $\sim 10^{-1} - 10^{-2}$ eV is a major problem in the otherwise highly successful Standard Model. The most elegant mechanism to explain such tiny neutrino masses is the seesaw mechanism…
Some recent works have introduced a quantum twist to the concept of complementarity, exemplified by a setup in which the which-way detector is in a superposition of being present and absent. It has been argued that such experiments allow…
The spectral properties of the Wilson-Dirac operator in 2-dimensional QED responsible for the appearance of exceptional configurations in quenched simulations are studied in detail. The mass singularity structure of the quenched functional…
Stimulated by a universal seesaw mass matrix model which can successfully give quark masses and CKM matrix elements in terms of charged lepton masses, the evolution of the seesaw mass matrices is investigated. Especially, an investigation…
Assuming the spin-independence for confining force, we give a covariant quark representation of general composite meson systems with definite Lorentz transformation properties. For benefit of this representation we are able to deduce…
