We extend the Zee model by introducing a vector-like lepton doublet and a flavor dependent global $U(1)$ symmetry. Flavor changing neutral currents in the quark sector can be naturally forbidden at tree level due to the $U(1)$ symmetry,…
We perform a detailed study of the $\text{b} \to \text{c} \tau \nu$ and $\text{b} \to \text{s} l^+ l^-$ processes in a minimal flipped 331 model based on the $SU(3)_C\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)_N$ gauge symmetry. The non universal $SU(3)_L…
Flavor-changing and CP-violating interactions of Z' to fermions are generally present in models with extra U(1) gauge symmetry that are string-inspired or related to broken gauged family symmetry. We study the consequences of such couplings…
We investigate a gauge extension of the Standard Model in light of the observed hints of lepton universality violation in $b \to c \ell \nu$ and $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays at BaBar, Belle and LHCb. The model consists of an extended…
In light of the recent $R_{K^{(*)}}$ data on neutral current flavour anomalies in $B \to K^{(*)} \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays, we re-examine their quantitative interpretation in terms of an extended 331 gauge theory framework. We achieve this by…
We study the possible magnitudes of CP and lepton-number-violating quantities in specific GUT models of massive neutrinos with different Abelian flavour groups, taking into account experimental constraints and requiring successful…
In supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, the Yukawa and/or mass terms of the heavy neutrinos can generate lepton flavour violating slepton mass terms. These new supersymmetric sources of lepton flavour violation may both enhance…
In order to satisfy current FCNC and CP violation bounds, SUSY flavour structures cannot be generic. An interesting solution to these SUSY Flavour and CP Problems lies on the use of an SU(3) family symmetry which spontaneously breaks CP…
We show that direct CP violation in semi-leptonic and leptonic decays can occur in multi-Higgs doublet extensions of the electroweak standard model with flavor changing neutral currents. For pion and lepton decays these $CP$ violating…
The flavor changing and CP violating phenomena predicted in supersymmetric unified theories as a consequence of the large top quark Yukawa coupling, are investigated in the quark sector and compared with related phenomena in the lepton…
We explore lepton-flavored electroweak baryogenesis, driven by CP-violation in leptonic Yukawa sector, using the $\tau-\mu$ system in the two Higgs doublet model as an example. This setup generically yields, together with the…
By introducing a set of new triplet leptons (with nonzero hypercharge) that can Yukawa couple to their Standard Model counterparts, new sources of tree-level flavor changing currents are induced via mixing. In this work, we study some of…
The so-called supersymmetric flavour and CP problems are deeply related to the origin of flavour and hence to the origin of the SM Yukawa couplings themselves. We show that realistic SU(3) flavour symmetries with spontaneous CP violation…
The complex Clebsch-Gordon coefficients in the double tetrahedral group T' offers the possibility that CP violation can be entirely geometrical in origin, as pointed out by us recently. In this note, we investigate leptogenesis in a SUSY…
We study lepton flavor observables in the Standard Model (SM) extended with all dimension-$6$ operators which are invariant under the SM gauge group. We calculate the complete one-loop predictions to the radiative lepton decays $\mu\to…
We investigate the feasibility of electroweak baryogenesis in a two-Higgs doublet model with lepton flavor violation. By scrutinizing the heavy Higgs boson mass spectrum, regions satisfying both strong first-order electroweak phase…
Leptonic CP violation is yet to be confirmed as an additional source of CP violation in fundamental interactions. We study the case where leptonic CP violation is spontaneous and is induced by the mixing with a heavy charged vector-like…
We study supersymmetric models of lepton and baryon number violation based on an abelian family gauge group. Due to possible lepton-Higgs mixing, the lepton violating couplings are related to the Yukawa couplings and may be generated by…
The Standard Model is extended minimally with a new flavor-violating family symmetry ${\rm U(1)}_\lambda$, which acts only on leptons including the right-handed neutrinos. The model is anomaly free with family-dependent ${\rm U(1)}_\lambda$…
We reconsider basic, in the sense of minimal field content, Pati-Salam x SU(3) family models which make use of the Type I see-saw mechanism to reproduce the observed mixing and mass spectrum in the neutrino sector. The goal of this is to…
