A nonuniversal abelian extension $\mathrm{U(1)}_{X}$ free from chiral anomalies is introduced into the Standard Model (SM), in order to evaluate its suitability in addressing the fermion mass hierarchy (FMH) by using seesaw mechanisms…
Introducing, in the underlying gauge theory of the Standard Model, the frame vectors in internal space as field variables (framons), in addition to the usual gauge boson and matter fermions fields, one obtains: * the standard Higgs scalar…
In this paper we propose a possible explanation to the Fermion mass hierarchy problem by fitting the type-II seesaw mechanism into the Higgs doublet sector, such that their vacuum expectation values are hierarchal. We extend the Standard…
Despite its great success in explaining the basic interactions of nature, the standard model suffers from an inability to explain the observed masses of the fundamental particles and the weak mixing angles between them. We shall survey a…
The quasi-classical model in a gauge theory with the Yang-Mills (YM) field is developed. On a basis of the exact solution of the Dirac equation in the SU(N) gauge field, which is in the eikonal approximation, the Yang-Mills (YM) equations…
A framework based on a class of abelian gauge symmetries is proposed in which the masses of only the third generation quarks and leptons arise at the tree level. The fermions of the first and second families receive their masses through…
The Standard Model has three generations of fermions and although it does not contain any explicit reason for this, the existence of additional generations is now very constrained by experiment. Present measurements are saturating…
New static regular axially symmetric solutions of SU(2) Euclidean Yang-Mills theory are constructed numerically. They represent calorons having trivial Polyakov loop at spacial infinity. The solutions are labeled by two integers $m,n$. It…
It was suggested that the massive Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons matrix model has three phases and that in one of them a non-Abelian gauge symmetry is dynamically generated. The analysis was at the one-loop level around a classical solution of…
We discuss a toy model in six dimensions that predicts two fermion generations, natural mass hierarchy and intergenerational mixing. Matter is described by vector-like six dimensional fermions, one per each irreducible standard model…
Non-abelian horizontal symmetry has been considered to solve potentially SUSY flavor problem, but simple models are suffering from various problems. In this talk, we point out that (anomalous) U(1)_A gauge symmetry solves all the problems…
It has long argued that confinement in non-Abelian gauge theories, such as QCD, can be account for by analogy with typed II superconductivity. In this paper, we show that it is possible to arrive at an effective dual Abelian-Higgs model,…
It is shown that using non-abelian horizontal gauge symmetry and anomalous U(1)_A symmetry in grand unified theories (GUTs), realistic quark and lepton mass matrices including large neutrino mixings can be obtained, while the differences…
Doubling a Yang-Mills field we apply the pattern which has been found to construct a "duality-symmetric" gravity with matter to the "duality-symmetric" Yang - Mills theory in five space-time dimensions. Constructing the action we conclude…
By investigating the $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills matrix model coupled to fundamental fermions in the adiabatic limit, we demonstrate quantum critical behaviour at special corners of the gauge field configuration space. The quantum scalar potential…
The logic of gauge theory is considered by tracing its development from general relativity to Yang-Mills theory, through Weyl's two gauge theories. A handful of elements---which for want of better terms can be called \emph{geometrical…
We present an integral formulation of classical Yang-Mills theory coupled to fermionic and scalar matter fields in (1+1)-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. By reformulating the local dynamics in terms of loop-space holonomies, we demonstrate…

This work is a step towards merging the ideas that arise from semi-classical methods in continuum QFT with analytic/numerical lattice field theory. In this context, we consider Yang-Mills theories coupled to fermions in the adjoint…
We present the {\it canonical} set of superspace constraints for self-dual supergravity, a ``self-dual'' tensor multiplet and a self-dual Yang-Mills multiplet with $~N=1~$ supersymmetry in the space-time with signature $(+,+,-,-)$. For this…
