In this work, we have modified a scenario, originally proposed by Grimus and Lavoura, in order to obtain maximal values for atmospheric mixing angle and CP violating Dirac phase of the lepton sector. To achieve this, we have employed CP and…
A chiral invariant Lagrangian describing the tetraquark-quarkonia interaction is considered at the leading and subleading order in the large-$N_{c}$ expansion. Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking generates mixing of scalar tetraquark and…
We present a model for quark masses and mixing, featuring geometrical CP violation through a \Delta(27) triplet. By employing a single U(1)_F or Z_N symmetry in addition to \Delta(27), we forbid all terms in the scalar potential that would…
Against the conventional picture that the mass matrix forms in the quark sectors will take somewhat different structures from those in the lepton sectors, a possibility that all the mass matrices of quarks and leptons have the same form as…
A scale-invariant "Gap Equation" is constructed for chiral quark $Q$ by Goldstone, or $V_L$, exchange, where massless input is guaranteed by gauge invariance. A numerical solution is found for Yukawa coupling $\sim 4\pi$. In turn, because…
The CDF collaboration's recent high-precision measurement of the $W$mass is in $7.0~\sigma$ disagreement with the Standard Model expectation. This tension will be relieved if the $W$ boson has a non-trivial right-handed gauge coupling at…
Threshold-state elementary particle lifetimes exhibit a scaling in powers of alpha = e^2/hslash*c, and a reciprocal electron-based 1/alpha scaling in particle masses that extends over two powers of 1/alpha. The m(e)/alpha coupling generates…
We report a selection of the most recent CDF and D0 results on top quark and W and Z boson properties, based on Tevatron Run 2 data. The large datasets of W and Z bosons allow a very precise measurement of the W mass and detailed studies of…
In the framework of the recently proposed electroweak theory on a Planck lattice, we are able to solve approximately the lattice Dyson equation for the fermion self-energy functions, and obtain the ratio between the masses of the $t-$ and…
The seesaw model of quark masses is studied systematically, focusing on its developments. A framework allowing the top quark mass to be of the order of the electroweak symmetry breaking scale, while the remaining light quarks have much…
I discuss the global structure of the strongly interacting gauge theory of quarks and gluons as a function of the quark masses and the CP violating parameter $\theta$. I concentrate on whether a first order phase transition occurs at…
We derive the canonical form of mixing of the mass eigenstates in the lepto-quark sector of the 4-generation Dirac-Kaehler extension of the SM (DK-SM) [1,2]. The 4 x 4 CKM matrix of DK-SM is expressed in terms two U(2) matrices. It depends…
We update the constraints on the right-handed $W_R$ gauge boson mass, mixing angle $\zeta$ with the left-handed $W_L$ gauge boson, and other parameters in general left-right symmetric models with different mechanisms of CP violation.…
In this talk, we review some of the current efforts to understand the phenomenon of chiral symmetry breaking and the generation of a dynamical quark mass. To do that, we will use the standard framework of the Schwinger-Dyson equations. The…
The observed hierarchy of the quark masses is interpreted as a signal for an underlying ``subnuclear democracy'' as the relevant symmetry of the quark mass terms. A simple breaking of the symmetry leads to a mixing between the second and…
Reaching a high precision of the top quark mass is an important task of the Large Hadron Collider. We perform a feasibility study of measuring the top quark mass through the three-point energy correlator. The expected sensitivity of the top…

We present a model of quark and squark masses which is based on a non-Abelian horizontal symmetry. It leads to order of magnitude relations between quark mass ratios and mixing angles and to the successful exact relation $\sin…
