We investigate a local $SU(3)_F$ flavour symmetry for its viability in generating the masses for the quarks and charged leptons of the first two families through radiative corrections. Only the third-generation fermions get tree-level…
The recent failure of the scenario which uses only $\mathbf{10,\oot}$ Higgs multiplets to yield large enough neutrino masses in the $\mathbf{SO(10) }$ \textbf{MSGUT} motivates an alternative scenario\cite{blmdoom} where the $\mathbf{120}$…
We review a possible solution to the fermion generation puzzle based on a nonabelian generalization of electric--magnetic duality derived some years ago. This nonabelian duality implies the existence of another SU(3) symmetry dual to…
We study fermion masses and mixing angles, including the generation of a seesaw mechanism for the neutrinos, in extended technicolor (ETC) theories. We formulate an approach to these problems that relies on assigning right-handed $Q=-1/3$…
We formulate a predictive model of fermion masses and mixings based on a $\Delta(27)$ family symmetry. In the quark sector the model leads to the viable mixing inspired texture where the Cabibbo angle comes from the down quark sector and…
We propose a predictive model based on the $SU(3)_C\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry, which is supplemented by the $D_4$ family symmetry and several auxiliary cyclic symmetries whose spontaneous breaking produces the observed SM…
Recent data on neutrino mass differences are consistent with a hierarchical neutrino mass structure strikingly similar to what is observed for the other fermionic masses.
We study the pseudo-Dirac mixing of left and right-handed neutrinos in the case where the Majorana masses M_L and M_R are small when compared with the Dirac mass, M_D. The light Majorana masses could be generated by a non-renormalizable…
We present an SU(9) model of family unification with three light chiral families, and a natural hierarchy of charged fermion masses and mixings. The existence of singlet right handed neutrions with masses about two orders of magnitude…
Unlike the standard model where neutrino masses can be made arbitrarily small, we find in the minimal left-right symmetric model that Dirac type Yukawa coupling $h_D \sim 10^{-4.2}$ for $\nu_\tau$ is generated from charged fermion Yukawa…
We study the implications of having a similarity between quark and lepton mixing in the Dirac sector of the Standard Model plus the right-handed neutrino. This enable us to describe all masses and mixings in the Dirac sector in terms of…
The up-down splitting within quark families increases with the family number: m_u ~ m_d, m_c > m_s, m_t >> m_b. We show an approach that realizes this feature of the spectrum in a natural way. We suggest that the mass hierarchy is first…
I report low energy results on the study of fermion masses and mixing for quarks and leptons, including neutrinos within a SU(3) flavor symmetry model, where ordinary heavy fermions, top and bottom quarks and tau lepton become massive at…
The one-loop renormalization-group equations (RGEs) running behavior of quark and lepton mass matrices with general structures are studied simultaneously. Suppose the non-linear terms of RGEs are dominated by the Yukawa couplings of top…
We develop a spectral framework for fermion mass hierarchies based on the exceptional Jordan algebra $J_3(\mathbb{O}_{\mathbb{C}})$. Starting from the octonionic realization of one Standard Model generation in $\mathbb{C}\otimes\mathbb{O}$,…
In this work we consider a left-right model containing mirror fermions with gauge group SU(3)$_{C} \otimes SU(2)_{L} \otimes SU(2)_{R} \otimes U(1)_{Y^\prime}$. The model has several free parameters which here we have calculated by using…
In this paper, we move from a "proof of concept" to challenging predictions in a flavour model emerging from a single fermion family in six dimensions (6-D) with the two extra dimensions compactified on a sphere. The most striking…
New data from neutrino oscillation experiments motivate us to extend a successful mass relation for the charged leptons to the other fundamental fermions. This new universal relation requires a Dirac mass around 3 10^-2 eV for the lightest…
We propose a low scale renormalizable left-right symmetric theory that successfully explains the observed SM fermion mass hierarchy, the tiny values for the light active neutrino masses and is consistent with the lepton and baryon…
I propose three new curved spacetime versions of the Dirac Equation. These equations have been developed mainly to try and account in a natural way for the observed anomalous gyromagnetic ratio of Fermions. The derived equations suggest…
