After pointing out the amazing success of the CKM description in accommodating the phenomenology of flavour changing neutral currents I review the status of theoretical technologies for extracting CKM parameters from data. I sketch novel…
It is expected that when the number of light flavors of gauge theories is increased near or beyond some critical value, new and interesting behavior occurs. We discuss the qualitative properties of the RG flows for a local $SU(3)$ theory…
We propose a model based on the gauge group $SU(3)_{C}\otimes SU(3)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{X}$ with an extra $S_{3}$ flavor symmetry, which accounts for the lepton masses and mixing. The small active neutrino masses are generated via a double…
We will present within the context of the supersymmetric models with $SU(3)_{C}\times SU(2)_{L}\times U(1)_{Y^\prime}\times U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry an explanation for the new data on the $W$-boson mass recently presented by the CDF…
$U(1)_X$SSM is the extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model(MSSM) and its local gauge group is $SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_X$. To obtain this model, three singlet new Higgs superfields and right-handed…
We present an extension of the Standard Model to the local gauge group $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(4)_L\otimes U(1)_X$ with a family non-universal treatment and anomalies canceled among the three families in a nontrivial fashion. The mass scales,…
We review recent developments in our understanding of the dynamics of strongly-coupled chiral $SU(N)$ gauge theories in four dimensions, problems which are potentially important in our quest to go beyond the standard $SU(3)_{QCD} \times…
Recent neutrino parameter measurements place increasingly stringent constraints on acceptable supersymmetric theories of flavor. A very fruitful approach is the application of non-Abelian discrete gauged flavor symmetries G_f. We discuss a…
A grand unified $SU(5)$ theory is constructed with a hierarchical breaking of a $U(2)$ flavor symmetry. The small parameters of the squark and slepton mass matrices, necessary to solve the supersymmetric flavor-changing problem, and the…
Extending the well-known $SU(3)_C \times SU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R$ model of quarks and leptons to include a fourth $SU(3)_N$ gauge factor, a new realization is obtained, different from leptonic color, which contains a lepton/dark symmetry…
In the SO(N_c) gauge theory with N_f quarks for N_f=N_c-2, its instanton effects indicate the signal of dynamical flavor symmetry breakdown of SU(N_f) to SO(N_f), which is not described by the conventional "magnetic" degree's of freedom. It…
We propose a new approach to the determination of hadronic observables in which the essential features of chiral symmetry are combined with conventional constituent quark models. To illustrate the approach, we consider the simple quark…
We present a supersymmetric model of flavor. A single U(1) gauge group is responsible for both generating the flavor spectrum and communicating supersymmetry breaking to the visible sector. The problem of Flavor Changing Neutral Currents is…
We extend the Zee-Babu model introducing local $U(1)_{L_\mu - L_\tau}$ symmetry with several singly-charged bosons. We find a predictive neutrino mass texture in a simple hypothesis that mixings among singly-charged bosons are negligible.…
The SU(3) gauge theory with $N_f=8$ nearly massless Dirac fermions has long been of theoretical and phenomenological interest due to the near-conformality arising from its proximity to the conformal window. One particularly interesting…
We show how the SUSY flavour and CP problems can be solved using gauged SU(3) family symmetry previously introduced to describe quark and lepton masses and mixings, in particular neutrino tri-bimaximal mixing via constrained sequential…
$SU(2)_L$-invariance links charged dilepton $\bar q\,q^\prime\,\ell^+\,\ell^-$ and dineutrino $\bar q\, q^\prime\, \bar\nu\,\nu$ couplings. This connection can be established using the Standard Model Effective Field Theory framework, and…
We study some of the consequences of the SU(6)$_{L}\otimes$U(1)$_{Y}$ model of unification of electroweak interactions and families with a horizontal gauge group SU(2)$_{H}$, paying special attention to processes with flavor changing…
We propose the local $(B-L)_{\mu\tau}$ model, which minimally retains the local $B-L$ extension for the sake of neutrino phenomenologies, and at the same time presents an invisible gauge boson $Z'$ with mass $\sim {\cal O}(10)$ MeV to…
In the present work we consider including the Flavor Changing Neutral Currents (FCNCs) in Left-Right Symmetric model. Within this model a simulation calculation are made of the decay width of Z' LR boson, the production cross section of the…
