We study superfluidity in a model of massless fermions coupled to a massive scalar field through a Yukawa interaction. Gap equations for a condensate with total spin J=0 are solved in the mean-field approximation. For the Yukawa…
Numerical evidence for a new dynamical mechanism of elementary particle mass generation has been found by lattice simulation in a simple, yet highly non-trivial SU(3) gauge model where a SU(2) doublet of strongly interacting fermions is…
We present empirical relations that connect the dimensionless ratios of fermion masses for the charged lepton, up-type quark and down-type quark sectors. Explaining these relations from first principles imposes strong constraints on the…
We examine recent claims that nonperturbative effects can prevent the decoupling of a heavy fermion whose mass arises from a Yukawa coupling to a scalar field. We show that in weakly coupled, four dimensional models such as the standard…
We present a composite model that is based on non-perturbative effects of N=1 supersymmetric SU(N_C) gauge theory with N_f=N_C+1 flavors. In this model, we consider N_C=7, where all matter fields in the supersymmetric standard model, that…
Building an organized Yukawa structure of quarks and leptons is an essential mission to understand fermion mass hierarchy and flavor mixing in particle physics. Inspired by the similarity of CKM and PMNS mixings, a common mass pattern for…
We study the Zee model in the framework of the split fermion model in $M_4\times S_1/Z_2$ spacetime. Neutrino masses are generated through 1-loop diagrams without the right-handed neutrinos introduced. By assuming an order one anarchical…
We make a comprehensive analysis of an extended supersymmetric model(ESSM) obtained by adding a pair of vector-like families to the minimal supersymmetric standard model and having specific forms of 5 x 5 fermion mass matrices. The singlet…
We propose a radiative seesaw model in alternative left-right model without any bidoublet scalar fields, in which all the fermion masses in the standard model are generated through a canonical seesaw mechanism at the tree level. On the…
Within the framework of a Beyond Standard Model (BSM) with a local $SU(3)$ family symmetry, we report an updated fit of parameters which account for the known spectrum of quarks and charged lepton masses and the quark mixing in a $4\times…
In a large class of supersymmetric SO(10) and left-right models, requiring that the effective theory below the scale of $SU(2)_R$ breaking be the MSSM implies partial Yukawa unification with $Y_u=Y_d$ and $Y_e=Y_{\nu^D}$. The same result…
This article revisits the validity of tree-level statements regarding the Yukawa sector of various minimal-renormalisable $SU(5)$ frameworks at the loop level. It is well-known that an $SU(5)$ model with only the $45_{\rm{H}}$ dimensional…
Different approaches to the quark-lepton mass problem are reviewed. The infrared quasifixed point predictions for the top quark mass are discussed for the Standard Model and its minimal supersymmetric extension, with particular reference to…
We analyze the quantum transport equations for supersymmetric electroweak baryogenesis including previously neglected bottom and tau Yukawa interactions and show that they imply the presence of a previously unrecognized dependence of the…
We consider a model with global Abelian chiral symmetry of two massless fermion fields interacting with a complex massive scalar field. We argue that the Schwinger-Dyson equations for the fermion and boson propagators admit…
Fermion masses can be generated through four-fermion condensates when symmetries prevent fermion bilinear condensates from forming. This less explored mechanism of fermion mass generation is responsible for making four reduced staggered…
We show explicitly that supersymmetric $E_6$ Grand Unified Theory with a Higgs sector consisting of $\{27+\bar{27}+351'+\bar{351'}+78\}$ fields provides a realistic scenario for symmetry breaking and fermion mass generation. While gauge…
Grand unified theories often predict unification of Yukawa couplings (e.g., $h_{b} = h_{\tau}$), and thus certain relations among fermion masses. The latter can distinguish these from models that predict only coupling constant unification.…
Supersymmetric flavor models for the radiative generation of fermion masses offer an alternative way to solve the SUSY-CP problem. We assume that the supersymmetric theory is flavor and CP conserving. CP violating phases are associated to…
We introduce a class of models where the masses of the light Standard Model fermions are due to an Effective Field Theory operator that appears beyond dimension-4 in the power counting expansion, resulting in a `Powerful Yukawa'. The…
