We carry out a complete and systematic study of all the possible one-zero textures for the neutrino mass matrix in light of the recent neutrino oscillation data which hint to a relatively large non-vanishing value for the smallest mixing…
In contrast to the original type I seesaw mechanism that requires right-handed Majorana neutrinos at energies much higher than the electroweak scale, the so-called low scale seesaw models allow lighter masses for the additional neutrinos.…
We explore the scenario in which the breaking of the electroweak symmetry is due to the simultaneous presence and interplay of a dynamical sector and an unnatural elementary Higgs. We introduce a low energy effective Lagrangian and…
We propose a realistic model with Majorana neutrinos in the framework of unifying the three generations of fermions by point interactions in an extra dimension. This model can simultaneously explain the origin of fermion generations,…
Several phenomenologically viable walking technicolor models have been proposed recently. I demonstrate that these models can have first order electroweak phase transitions, which are sufficiently strong for electroweak baryogenesis. Strong…
In this work, we study an extension of the Standard Model (SM) based on the gauge symmetry $SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_{Y'}\times U(1)_R$ where only the right-handed fermions have nonzero $U(1)_R$ charge and the $U(1)_Y$ weak…
The idea of quark-lepton universality at high energies has recently been explored in unified theories based upon the quartification gauge group SU(3)^4. These schemes encompass a quark-lepton exchange symmetry that results upon the…
We propose a particularly economical neutrino mass model, in which there are only two right-handed Majorana neutrinos of ${\cal O}(1)$ TeV and their masses are highly degenerate. Its novel Yukawa-coupling texture together with the seesaw…
We consider several neutrino mass models in an extra-dimensional setting on a quantitative level. All the models are set in a five-dimensional scenario, with the standard model (SM) particles living on a brane, while three additional SM…
The renormalization of general theories with inter-family mixing of Dirac and/or Majorana fermions is studied at the one-loop electroweak order. The phenomenological significance of the mixing-matrix renormalization is discussed, within the…
We study the minimal gauged U(1)_{B-L} supersymmetric model and show that it provides an attractive theory for spontaneous R-parity violation. Both U(1)_{B-L} and R-parity are broken by the vacuum expectation value of the right-handed…
We present the first multiscalar singlet extension of the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos, based on the $\Delta \left( 27\right) $ family symmetry, supplemented by the $Z_{4}\otimes Z_{8}\otimes Z_{14}$ flavor group, consistent with…
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 investigate the resonant leptogenesis scenario in the minimally $U(1)_{B-L}$ extended standard model with minimal flavor violation. In our model, the $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry is broken at the TeV scale and standard model singlet…
We consider the minimal U(1)' extension of the standard model (SM) with the classically conformal invariance, where an anomaly-free U(1)' gauge symmetry is introduced along with three generations of right-handed neutrinos and a U(1)' Higgs…
We construct a Technicolor model which provides masses for the electroweak gauge bosons and for all the Standard Model matter fields. Starting from an ultraviolet complete supersymmetric technicolor, we propose a scenario where all…
The implications of a large value of the effective Majorana neutrino mass for a class of two texture zero neutrino mass matrices have been studied in the flavor basis. It is found that these textures predict near maximal atmospheric…
We perform precision electroweak tests on the $Sp(6)_L \times U(1)_Y$ model. The purpose of the analysis is to delineate the model parameters such as the mixing angles of the extra gauge bosons present in this model. We find that the model…
In technicolor theories a large radiative correction to the Zbb vertex generally emerges, because of the large top quark mass and SU(2)_L gauge symmetry. The correction can give us an explanation for the deviation of the experimental value…
We extend the recently proposed $SU(5) \times \mathcal{T}_{13}$ model for the asymmetric texture to the up-type quark and seesaw sectors. The hierarchical up-type quark masses are generated from higher-dimensional operators involving…
