We study predictions of orbifold family unification models with $SU(9)$ gauge group on a six-dimensional space-time including the orbifold $T^2/Z_2$, and obtain relations among sfermion masses in the supersymmetric extension of models. The…
We study the possibility of complete family unification in higher-dimensional space-time. Three families of matters in SU(5) grand unified theory are derived from a single bulk multiplet of SU(N) gauge group (N >= 9) in the framework of…
We study flat directions and soft scalar masses using a $Z_3$ orbifold model with $SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1)$ gauge group and extra gauge symmetries including an anomalous $U(1)$ symmetry. Soft scalar masses contain $D$-term…
We study the possibility of family unification on the basis of SU(N) gauge theory on the 6-dimensional space-time, $M^4\times T^2/Z_N$. We obtain enormous numbers of models with three families of SU(5) matter multiplets and those with three…
We study left-right symmetric quark mass matrices whose up- and down-sectors have the same structure. This type of realistic mass matrices are derived from orbifold models. We cannot derive some of them by using an extra U(1) symmetry.
We search for a possibility of getting realistic fermion mass ratios and mixing angles from renormalizable couplings on the Z_6-I heterotic orbifold with one pair of Higgs doublets. In the quark sector, we find cases with reasonable…
Several ideas for solving the problem of fermion mass hierarchy and mixing and specific supersymmetric models that realize it are reviewed. In particular, we discuss many models based on SO(10) in four dimensions combined with a family…
In a class of multidimensional models, topology of a thick brane provides three chiral fermionic families with hierarchical masses and mixings in the effective four-dimensional theory, while the full model contains a single vector-like…
A 5D SU(7) family unification model with two spinor representations of SO(14) is presented. The fifth dimension is compactified on $S^1/Z_2\times Z_2'$. The orbifolding is used to obtain 4D SO(10) chiral fermions. The 4D grand unification…
In the minimal supersymmetric standard model, assuming universal scalar masses at large energies, there are four intragenerational relations between the masses of the squarks and sleptons for each light generation. In this paper we study…
In orbifold family unification on the basis of $SU(N)$ gauge theory on the six-dimensional space-time $M^4\times T^2/Z_m$ ($m=2, 3, 4, 6$), enormous numbers of models with three families of the standard model matter multiplets are derived…
We derive the scalar mass matrices in effective supergravity models augmented by a $U(1)_F$ family symmetry. Simple relations between $U(1)_F$ charges and modular weights of the superfields are derived and used to express the matrices with…
A short review of the status of supersymmetric grand unified theories and their relation to the issue of fermion masses and mixings is given.
Sum rules among superparticle masses are derived under the assumption that models beyond the MSSM are four-dimensional supersymmetric grand unified theories or five-dimensional supersymmetric orbifold grand unified theories. Sfermion sum…
Relations between bulk mass parameters for fermions propagating in higher dimensions are studied in analogy with the empirical mass relation for charged leptons. Masses of three generation of four-dimensional charged leptons are achieved…
Several phenomenological features of fermion masses and mixings can be accounted for by a simple model for fermion mass matrices, which suggests an underlying U(2) horizontal symmetry. In this context, it is also proposed how an approximate…
We suggest a simple grand unified theory where the fifth dimensional coordinate is compactified on an $S_1/(Z_2 \times Z_2')$ orbifold. This model is based on the supersymmetric flipped $SU(5) \times U(1)$ grand unified theory, which can…
The so-called Golden Mass Relation provides a testable correlation between charged-lepton and down-type quark masses, that arises in certain flavor models that do not rely on Grand Unification. Such models typically involve broken family…
We investigate symmetry breaking patterns from replicated gauge groups which generate anomaly-free and family-dependent U(1) symmetries. We discuss the extent to which these symmetries can explain the observed hierarchies of fermion masses…
In non-supersymmetric grand unified models a ``radiative fermion mass hierarchy" can be achieved in which the spectrum of quark and lepton masses is determined entirely by physics at the unification scale, with many relations following from…
