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…
The multiple point criticality principle is applied to the pure Standard Model (SM), with a desert up to the Planck scale. We are thereby led to impose the constraint that the effective Higgs potential should have two degenerate minima, one…
A model is considered in which the scale of the heavy singlet neutrinos is a few orders of magnitude below the grand unification scale and where right-handed vector bosons play still a negligible role. In a basis with diagonal up-quark and…
In this work, we build a model to combine the mass generated from the Higgs mechanism and that from the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking mechanism. This is motivated by the fermion mass hierarchy that the neutrino mass is smaller than the…
A class of models is considered in which the masses only of the third generation of quarks and leptons arise in the tree approximation, while masses for the second and first generations are produced respectively by one-loop and two-loop…
The suggested model permits to construct gauge-invariant expressions bringing to the masses of all the fermions, included the neutrinos. The model realizes Higgs mechanism. It is based on the presence of non-trivial ground states of a…
Schemes based on anticommuting scalar coordinates, corresponding to properties, lead to generations of particles very naturally. In contrast to the standard model, where masses arise through independent Yukawa couplings to a single Higgs…
The structure of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix is analyzed from the standpoint of a composite model. A model is constructed with three families of quarks, by taking tensor products of sufficient numbers of spin-1/2…
We propose a new and realistic 3-3-1 model with the minimal lepton and scalar contents, named the simple 3-3-1 model. The scalar sector contains two new heavy Higgs bosons, one neutral H and another singly-charged H^\pm, besides the…
Recently a new mechanism has been proposed to cure the problem of fermion mass hierarchy in the Standard Model (SM) model. In this scenario, all SM charged fermions other than top quark arise from higher dimensional operators involving the…
Possible generation structure is investigated. We considere alternative possibility of combination of leptons and quarks to compose each generation, where the combination of $(\nu_{\tau},{\tau})$ and $(u,d)$ compose a generation. Our model…
Quasi-degenerate neutrino mass models (QDN) which can explain the current data on neutrino masses and mixings,are studied. In the first part, we study the effect of CP-phases on QDN mass matrix obeying $\mu-\tau$ symmetry in normal…
The standard cold dark matter cosmological model, while successful in explaining the observed large scale structure of the Universe, tends to overpredict structure on small scales. It has been proposed this problem may be alleviated in a…
A radiative model of quark and lepton masses utilizing the binary tetrahedral ($T^{\prime}$) flavor symmetry, or horizontal symmetry, is proposed which produces the first two generation of quark masses through their interactions with…
If three right-handed neutrinos are added to the Standard Model, then, for the three known generations, there are six quarks and six leptons. It is then natural to assume that the symmetry considerations that have been applied to the quark…
The charged fermion masses of the three generations exhibit the two strong hierarchies m_3 >> m_2 >> m_1. We assume that also neutrino masses satisfy m_{nu 3} > m_{nu 2} > m_{nu 1} and derive the consequences of the hierarchical spectra on…
The existing data appears to provide hints of an underlying high scale theory. These arise from the gauge coupling unification, from the smallness of the neutrino masses, and via a non-vanishing muon anomaly. An overview of high scale…
Possible existence of "hot-sector generations" above the well known 3 generation bound is investigated on the basis of a model of leptons and quarks, which is based on the Harari and Shupe's one. Our model predicts the existence of {\bf3 +…
In a supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified model with a horizontal symmetry SU(1,1), we discuss spontaneous generation of generations to produce three chiral generations of quarks and leptons and one generation of higgses by using one…
We present a simple solution to the little hierarchy problem in the MSSM: a vector-like fourth generation. With O(1) Yukawa couplings for the new quarks, the Higgs mass can naturally be above 114 GeV. Unlike a chiral fourth generation, a…
