It is suggested to combine gauge and Yukawa interactions into one expression involving the generalized Dirac operator associated with a superconnection $D+L$, $L$ being linked to the Higgs field (one doublet). We advocate a version of the…
We present a Z_6 orbifold compactification of the E_8xE_8 heterotic string which leads to the (supersymmetric) Standard Model gauge group and matter content. The quarks and leptons appear as three 16-plets of SO(10), whereas the Higgs…
The large top Yukawa coupling results in the top quark contributing significantly to the quantum correction of the Higgs mass term. Traditionally, this effect is canceled by the presence of top partners in symmetry-based models. However,…
Non-perturbative D-brane instantons can generate perturbatively absent though phenomenologically relevant couplings for Type II orientifold compactifications with D-branes. We discuss the generation of the perturbatively vanishing SU(5) GUT…
We construct new D6-brane model vacua (non-supersymmetric) that have at low energy exactly the standard model spectrum (with right handed neutrinos). The minimal version of these models requires five stacks of branes. and the construction…
We built an extended 2HDM theory with a spontaneously broken $U(1) _{X}$ global symmetry, where the tree level Universal Seesaw Mechanism generates the mass hierarchy of the Standard Model charged fermions and the Zee-Babu mechanism…
The approach unifying all the internal degrees of freedom--proposed by one of us--is offering a new way of understanding families of quarks and leptons: A part of the starting Lagrange density in d(=1+13), which includes two kinds of spin…
A Hexad Preon model where leptons, quarks and W Z bosons are composite is proposed. Six Hexad Preons transform under $U(3)\otimes U(3)$ local gauge theory which is identified with $U(1)_Q\otimes SU(3)_C\otimes SU(3)_f\otimes U(1)_w$. All…
We desribe in detail a Z_6 orbifold compactification of the heterotic E_8 x E_8 string which leads to the (supersymmetric) standard model gauge group and matter content. The quarks and leptons appear as three 16-plets of SO(10), two of…
We investigate the radiative generation of lepton masses and mixing angles in the Standard Model extended by one right-handed neutrino and one extra Higgs doublet. We assume approximate rank-1 Yukawa couplings at a high energy scale and we…
A novel model of charged leptons is presented, which contains two basics hypotheses. The first hypothesis is that the Yukawa coupling between Higgs field and charged leptons is the weak interaction, the Higgs field is a scalar intermediate…
In the simplest examples of models with a discrete quark-lepton symmetry, an electroweak symmetry breaking sector with more than one Higgs doublet is necessary to obtain the correct mass relations between quarks and leptons. A two Higgs…
By employing D6-branes intersecting at angles in $D = 4$ type IIA strings, we construct {\em four stack string GUT models} (PS-I class), that contain at low energy {\em exactly the three generation Standard model} with no extra matter…
We give a new mechanism for generating very small, and almost degenerate, neutrino masses, without resorting to the see-saw mechanism or unnatural small Yukawa couplings. It requires the existence of at least 4 families with an almost…
A mechanism is suggested by which the dynamics of confinement could be responsible for the fermion mass matrix. In this approach the large top quark Yukawa coupling is generated naturally during confinement, while those of the other quarks…
We consider the maximal U(3) horizontal scheme as a handle on fermion masses and mixings. In particular, we attempt to explain the large top Yukawa coupling and the masses and mixing in the two heaviest generations. A simple model is…
We compute the Yukawa couplings among chiral fields in toroidal Type II compactifications with wrapping D6-branes intersecting at angles. Those models can yield realistic standard model spectrum living at the intersections. The Yukawa…
Four stacks of intersecting supersymmetric fractional D6-branes on the Z_6' orientifold have previously been used to construct consistent models having the spectrum of the supersymmetric Standard Model, including a single pair of Higgs…
We present a supersymmetric composite model with dynamical supersymmetry breaking. The model is based on the gauge group $SU(2)_S \times SU(2)_H \times SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$. Supersymmetry is dynamically broken by the…
We construct six stack D6-brane vacua (non-supersymmetric) that have at low energy exactly the standard model (with right handed neutrinos). The construction is based on D6-branes intersecting at angles in $D = 4$ type toroidal orientifolds…
