Flavor mixing is scrutinized at 1-loop in a SU(2)_L gauge theory of massive fermions. The main issue is to cope with kinetic-like, momentum (p^2) dependent effective interactions that arise at this order. They spoil the unitarity of the…

Assuming that the leptons and quarks other than top are massless at tree level, we show that their masses may be induced by loops involving the top quark. As a result, the generic features of the fermion mass spectrum arise from…
A mechanism has been suggested recently to generate the neutrino mass out of a dimension-seven operator. This is expected to relieve the tension between the occurrence of a tiny neutrino mass and the observability of other physics effects…
