We propose a simple technique that, if combined with algorithms for computing functions of triangular matrices, can make them more efficient. Basically, such a technique consists in a specific scaling similarity transformation that reduces…

We present a one-doublet extended technicolor model, with all fermions in fundamental representations. The bare lagrangian has no explicit mass terms but generates masses through gauge symmetry breaking by purely QCD-like dynamics. The…

We introduce a new parameterization of four-fermion matrix elements which does not involve quark masses and thus allows a reduction of systematic uncertainties in physical amplitudes. As a result the apparent quadratic dependence of e'/e on…

We address the question, how general is the gauge sector in extra-dimensional models which explain hierarchies of masses and mixings of quarks, charged leptons and neutrinos in terms of a single family of multidimensional fermions. We give…

An observation of any lepton number violating process will undoubtedly point towards the existence of new physics and indirectly to the clear Majorana nature of the exchanged fermion. In this work, we explore the potential of a minimal…

We examine the possibility that a certain class of neutrino mass matrices, namely those with two independent vanishing minors in the flavor basis, regardless of being invertible or not, is sufficient to describe current data. We compute…

We consider non-interacting fermions on a lattice and give a general result for the reduced density matrices corresponding to parts of the system. This allows to calculate their spectra, which are essential in the DMRG method, by…

We reconsider models of fermion masses and mixings based on a gauge anomalous horizontal U(1) symmetry. In the simplest model with a single flavon field and horizontal charges of the same sign for all Standard Model fields, only very few…

Under the assumption that the neutrinos are Majorana particles we study how the lepton mass matrices can be transformed into the simple form which has the same physical quantities by removing redundant parameters. We propose the exact…

Using the type-II seesaw mechanism with three Higgs doublets phi_alpha (alpha = e, mu, tau) and four Higgs triplets, we build a model for lepton mixing based on a 384-element horizontal symmetry group, generated by the permutation group S_3…

We systematically construct an extensive list of realistic mass matrix textures for leptons. For this set of matrices, we discuss the parameter space, and illustrate how these textures could be generated in explicit models from flavor…

Ground states of quadratic Hamiltonians for fermionic systems can be characterized in terms of orthogonal complex structures. The standard way in which such Hamiltonians are diagonalized makes use of a certain "doubling" of the Hilbert…

I outline a program to derive the Standard Model directly from superstring theory. I present a class of three generation superstring standard--like models in the free fermionic formulation. I discuss some phenomenological properties of…

All of the known fermions fit a simple formula which is presented here. The simple formula appears to indicate a topological origin to mass generation, and it is globally accurate to an approximate percent. Instantons or a quantized two…

The minimal flavor structures for both quarks and leptons are proposed to address fermion mass hierarchy and flavor mixings by bi-unitary decomposition of the fermion mass matrix. The real matrix ${\bf M}_0^f$ is completely responsive to…

The framed standard model (FSM) suggested earlier, which incorporates the Higgs field and 3 fermion generations as part of the framed gauge theory structure, is here developed further to show that it gives both quarks and leptons…

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…

In this paper we provide a general method to construct four-parameter families of complex Hadamard matrices of order six. Our approach is to write a 6-dimensional matrix as composed of four blocks, each one in the form of a circulant…

We propose a texture of three generation Majorana-type neutrino mass matrix in terms of only two parameters which gives rise to nearly bi-maximal mixing angles. We also demonstrate an explicit realization of such type of neutrino…

Based on a nonabelian generalization of electric-magnetic duality, the Dualized Standard Model (DSM) suggests a natural explanation for exactly 3 generations of fermions as the `dual colour' $\widetilde{SU}(3)$ symmetry broken in a…
