Statistical learning algorithms are finding more and more applications in science and technology. Atomic-scale modeling is no exception, with machine learning becoming commonplace as a tool to predict energy, forces and properties of…
We propose a simple left-right symmetric theory where the neutrino masses are generated at the quantum level. In this context the neutrinos are Majorana fermions and the model has the minimal degrees of freedom in the scalar sector needed…
Leptogenesis in left-right symmetric theories is studied. The usual see-saw mechanism is modified by the presence of a left-handed Higgs triplet. A simple connection between the properties of the light left-handed and heavy right-handed…
In order to induce a family of mixing patterns of leptons which accommodate the experimental data with a simple mathematical construct, we construct a novel object from the hybrid of two elements of a finite group with a parameter $\theta$.…
Similarity between the weak interaction properties of quarks and leptons has led to suggestions that the origin of lepton mixing angles may be related to those of quarks. In this paper, we present a gauge model based on $SU(2)_L \times…
A good feature representation is a determinant factor to achieve high performance for many machine learning algorithms in terms of classification. This is especially true for techniques that do not build complex internal representations of…
A model is constructed for a chiral abelian gauge-interaction of fermions and a potential of three higgses, so that the potential possesses a discrete symmetry of the vacuum state, which provides the introduction of three generations for…
The triumphs of the Standard Model of Particle Physics call attention upon an old idea, that the so-called vacuum is an accessible physical medium, and not just a tautology. I take this idea as a serious working hypothesis, and I suggest a…
We analyse local models at the point of E_8 in F-theory GUTs and identify exactly two models with potentially realistic properties concerning proton stability and a suitable pattern of quark and lepton masses. To this end we identify a…
The Standard Model is extended by a SU(2)L singlet of vector leptoquarks. An additional SU(4) gauge symmetry between right-handed up quarks and right-handed leptons is introduced to render the model renormalizable. The arrangement is made…
If any heavy neutral leptons are discovered in accelerator-based experiments, key questions will involve their possible connection to neutrino masses or leptogenesis. Working in a renormalisable extension of the Standard Model by three…
We construct phenomenological quark-lepton mass matrices based on S$_3$ permutation symmetry in a manner fully compatible with SU(5) grand unification. The Higgs particles we need are {\bf 5}, {\bf 45} and their conjugates. The model gives…
We relate leptogenesis in a class of theories to low-energy experimental observables: quark and lepton masses and mixings. With reasonable assumptions motivated by grand unification, one can show that the CP-asymmetry parameter takes a…
The trinification model is an interesting extension of the Standard Model (SM) based on the gauge group $SU(3)_C\times SU(3)_L\times SU(3)_R$. We study its low-energy phenomenology by constructing a low-energy effective field theory,…
We investigate a particle physics model for cosmic inflation based on the following assumptions: (i) there are at least two complex scalar fields; (ii) the scalar potential is bounded from below and remains perturbative up to the Planck…
We present an elementary introduction to some of the quark models used to understand the properties of light mesons and baryons. These lectures are intended for both theoretical and experimental graduate students beginning their study of…
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is in such good agreement with experiment that it is still accepted as providing an accurate model of reality. Nevertheless, its algebraic foundations are in need of repair. Chirality is shown to…
We explain the difference between the measured decay widths of $b \to c \tau \nu$ processes and of $B\to K\nu\bar{\nu}$ and their values predicted in the Standard Model by introducing the right-handed interactions both to quarks and to…
Weakly bound states often occur in nuclear physics. To precisely understand their properties, the coupling to the continuum should be worked out explicitely. In a first step, we use a simple nuclear model in the continuum and on a lattice…
The so-called 3-3-1 models have been widely studied in the literature. However, in almost all cases, as with other models, just simplified versions have been considered. On the other hand, the LHC has not neither confirmed nor rejected any…
