An elegant model is proposed by extending the Standard Model using the $\Delta(27)\times Z_3 \times Z_{10}$ symmetry within the framework of the Type-I + Type-II seesaw mechanism. This model is particularly noteworthy for its ability to…

The renormalization of general theories with inter-family mixing of Dirac and/or Majorana fermions is studied at the one-loop electroweak order. The phenomenological significance of the mixing-matrix renormalization is discussed, within the…

We construct a five dimensional supersymmetric SO(10)$\times$D$_3$ grand unified model with an $S^1/(Z_2 \times Z^\prime_2)$ orbifold as the extra dimension. The orbifold breaks half of the supersymmetry and breaks the SO(10) gauge symmetry…

We propose a predictive model based on the $SU(3)_{C}\otimes SU(3)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{X}$ gauge group supplemented by the $A_{4}\otimes Z_{3}\otimes Z_{4}\otimes Z_{6}\otimes Z_{16}$ discrete group, which successfully describes the SM fermion…

We propose a model for lepton mass matrices based on the seesaw mechanism, a complex scalar gauge singlet and a horizontal symmetry $S_3 \times \mathbbm{Z}_2$. In a suitable weak basis, the charged-lepton mass matrix and the neutrino Dirac…

We propose a multiscalar singlet extension of the singlet-triplet Higgs model capable of explaining the SM fermion mass spectrum and mixing parameters. Our model is based on the $\Delta \left( 27\right) $ family symmetry, supplemented by…

I discuss a renormalisable model based on $\Delta(27)$ family symmetry with an $SO(10)$ grand unified theory (GUT) with spontaneous geometrical $CP$ violation. The symmetries are broken close to the GUT breaking scale, yielding the minimal…

We discuss the possibility of enforcing a massless Majorana neutrino in the direct and semi-direct approaches to lepton mixing, in which the PMNS matrix is partly predicted by subgroups of a discrete family symmetry, extending previous…

The recent experimental measurements of the solar neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{sol}$ and the Cabibbo mixing angle $\theta_C$ reveal a surprising relation, $ \theta_{sol}+\theta_C \simeq \frac{\pi}{4}$. We note that the lepton mixing…

It is proposed that supersymmetry (SUSY) maybe used to understand fermion mass hierarchies. A family symmetry Z_{3L} is introduced, which is the cyclic symmetry among the three generation SU(2) doublets. SUSY breaks at a high energy scale ~…

We study the origin of neutrino masses and mixing angles which can accomodate the LMA MSW solutions of the solar neutrino anomaly as well as the solution of the atmospheric neutrino problem, within the framework of the see-saw mechanism. We…

A non-minimal approximation for effective masses of light and heavy neutrinos in the framework of a type-I seesaw mechanism with three generations of sterile Majorana neutrinos which recover the symmetry between quarks and leptons is…

Numerical correlations between fermion masses and mixings could indicate the presence of a flavor symmetry at high energies. In general, the search for these correlations using low-energy data requires an estimate of leading-log radiative…

With the aim of linking natural supersymmetry to flavour physics, a model is proposed based on a family symmetry G \times U(1), where G is a discrete nonabelian subgroup of SU(2), with both F-term and (abelian) D-term supersymmetry…

We present a model of neutrino masses combining the seesaw mechanism and strong Dirac mass hierarchy and at the same time exhibiting a significantly reduced hierarchy at the level of active neutrino masses. The heavy Majorana masses are…

In this note I mainly focus on the neutrino physics part in my talk and report the most recent progress made in \cite{YLW0}. It is seen that the Majorana features of neutrinos and SO(3) gauge flavor symmetry can simultaneously explain the…

We consider a neutrino mass model where all leptonic mixing is induced by a heavy Majorana sector through the seesaw type I mechanism, while the Dirac mass matrices are diagonal. Such a pattern occurs naturally in grand unified theories.…

A minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) by a vector-like fermion doublet and three right handed (RH) singlet neutrinos is proposed in order to explain dark matter and tiny neutrino mass simultaneously. The DM arises as a mixture of…

We examine the problem of three generation quark flavor mixing in realistic, superstring derived standard--like models, constructed in the free fermionic formulation. We study the sources of family mixing in these models and discuss the…

Recently a new mechanism has been proposed to cure the problem of fermion mass hierarchy in the Standard Model (SM) model. In this scenario, all SM charged fermions other than top quark arise from higher dimensional operators involving the…
