We analyze the problem of the hierarchy of masses and mixings in orientifold realizations of the Standard Model. We find bottom-up brane configurations that can generate such hierarchies.

We study the hierarchy of quark masses and mixings in a model based on a 5-dimensional spacetime with constant curvature of Randall-Sundrum type with two branes, where the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking is caused dynamically by the…

We reconsider a generation of up-type quark mass hierarchy in the standard model and clarify how a mechanism works to realize the hierarchy without severe fine tuning.

We propose a novel mechanism for reproducing the realistic hierarchical structure of the observed CKM mixing matrix and quark masses by means of introducing a warped metric. We illustrate the method on the basis of a specific Type IIA…

We investigate phenomenologically viable four- and five-stack MSSM D-brane quivers which exhibit realistic fermion mass hierarchies. In our analysis, the mass hierarchies arise either from higher order terms containing the VEV's of SM…

A mechanism to have the quark mass hierarchy in the supersymmetric composite model is proposed. The source of the hierarchy is the kinetic-term mixing between composite quarks. Such mixing can be expected, if quarks are composite particles.…

Using the resolution of the gauge hierarchy problem recently proposed by Randall and Sundrum, we find a natural explanation for the observed fermion masses and mixings of the three Standard Model (SM) generations. Localizing massless SM…

I discuss two topics: i) the empirical adequacy of the Standard Model in the Flavour Sector in view of recent data; ii) the possible existence of a hidden structure in the quark masses and mixings based on textures.

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.

Using instanton effects, we discuss the problem of fermion mass hierarchies in an MSSM-like Type IIA orientifolded model with U(3)xSp(1)xU(1)xU(1) gauge symmetry obtained from intersecting D6-branes. In the corresponding four-stack quiver,…

We revisit the issue of the quark masses and mixing angles in the framework of large extra dimension. We consider three identical standard model families resulting from higher-dimensional fields localized on different branes embedded in a…

We give an overview of recent progress in the study of fermion mass and flavor mixing phenomena. Mass matrix ansatze are considered within the SM and SUSY GUTs where some predictive frameworks based on SU(5) and SO(10) are reviewed. We…

We study systematically the possibility for realizing realistic values of quark mass ratios $m_c/m_t$ and $m_s/m_b$ and the mixing angle $V_{cb}$ by using only renormalizable Yukawa couplings derived from heterotic orbifold models. We…

A geometric understanding of the origin of mass hierarchy among the standard model fermions have been addressed in a multiple warped spacetime. We show that the requirement of $10^{16}$ order warping between the Planck and the visible…

We obtain explicitly the renormalization group equations for the quark mass matrices in terms of a set of rephasing invariant parameters. For a range of assumed high energy values for the mass ratios and mixing parameters, they are found to…

If the hierarchy of quark masses comes out of simultaneous dynamical chiral and flavor symmetry breakings, it is inevitably accompanied by the flavor mixing. Therefore, these phenomena, independent in the standard model and in many of its…

We describe the general geometrical framework of brane world constructions in orientifolds of type IIA string theory with D6-branes wrapping 3-cycles in a Calabi-Yau 3-fold, and point out their immediate phenomenological relevance. These…

The recent evidence for neutrino oscillations stimulate us to discuss again the problem of fermion masses and mixings in gauge theories. In the standard model, several forms for quark mass matrices are equivalent. They become ansatze within…

In a model with a gauge group $G_{SM}\otimes U(1)_X$, where $G_{SM} \equiv SU(3)_C \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y$ is the standard model gauge group and $U(1)_X$ is a horizontal local gauge symmetry, we propose a radiative generation of the…

We present some recent developments on model building for neutrino masses and mixings. In particular, we review tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing derived from discrete groups, notably A4. We discuss the problems encountered with extending the…
