Assuming that the leptons and quarks other than top are massless at tree level, we show that their masses may be induced by loops involving the top quark. As a result, the generic features of the fermion mass spectrum arise from…
We discuss the consistency of fermion mass generation by boundary conditions and brane localized terms in higher dimensional Higgsless models of gauge symmetry breaking. The sum rules imposed by tree-level unitarity and Ward Identities are…
We consider the low scale ($10$ - $100$ TeV) left-right symmetric model with "naturally" small neutrino masses generated through the inverse seesaw mechanism. The Dirac neutrino mass terms are taken to be similar to the masses of charged…
We show that if the Standard Model gauge fields and fermions propagate in extra dimenions, a composite Higgs field with the correct quantum number can arise naturally as a bound state due to the strong gauge interactions in higher…
We consider quiver theories in four dimensions with a large ultra-violet cutoff. These theories require that an ordered set of vacuum expectation values for the link fields develops dynamically and can be obtained from the coarse…
Using a four fermion interaction Lagrangian, we demonstrate that the spontaneous breaking of vector symmetries requires the existence of a light (comparing with the heavy fermion mass) scalar particle and the low energy effective theory…
We present a complete study of the vacuum structure of Top Quark Seesaw models of the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, including bottom quark mass generation. Such models emerge naturally from extra dimensions. We perform a systematic gap…
In this work, we build a model to combine the mass generated from the Higgs mechanism and that from the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking mechanism. This is motivated by the fermion mass hierarchy that the neutrino mass is smaller than the…
Grand gauge-Higgs unification of five dimensional $SU(6)$ gauge theory on an orbifold $S^1/Z_2$ is discussed. The Standard model (SM) fermions are introduced on one of the boundaries and some massive bulk fields are also introduced so that…
We show that vector-like quarks in the fundamental or higher-dimensional representations of QCD can generate the electro-weak scale in a phenomenologically viable way by chiral symmetry breaking condensates. The thereby generated scales are…
In light of recent experimental results, we present updated bounds on the lightest Higgs boson mass in the Standard Model (SM) and in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). The vacuum stability lower bound on the…
We investigate a dynamical mechanism to generate fermion mass in the Randall-Sundrum background. We consider four-fermion interaction models where the fermion field propagates in an extra-dimension, i.e. the bulk four-fermion interaction…
This is the first of two companion papers where we prove that the recently discovered non perturbative mechanism capable of giving mass to elementary fermions, in the presence of weak interactions can also generate a mass for the $W$, and…
I report the analysis performed on fermion masses and mixing, including neutrino mixing, within the context of a model with hierarchical radiative mass generation mechanism for light charged fermions, mediated by exotic scalar particles at…
We study a possible gauge symmetry breaking pattern in an ${\rm SU}(7)$ grand unified theory, which describes the mass origins of all electrically charged SM fermions of the second and the third generations. Two intermediate gauge…
We show how the spectrum of the minimal anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking model can be constrained from the condition that the electroweak symmetry breaking minimum of the scalar potential is the deepest point in the field space.…
We revisit the stability and triviality bounds on the Higgs boson mass in the context of the Standard Model with three and four generations (SM3 and SM4, respectively). In light of the recent results from LHC the triviality bound in the SM3…
We develop the modification of the top - quark condensation scenario, in which the Higgs boson is composed of all Standard Model fermions. Within this scenario we suggest the phenomenological model with non - local four - fermion…
In this paper, we study the viability of having a fermion Dark Matter particle below the TeV mass scale in connection to the neutrino mass generation mechanism. The simplest realization is achieved within the scotogenic model where neutrino…
We study relativistic fermions in three euclidean dimensions with four- and six-fermion interactions of the Gross-Neveu type. In the limit of many fermion flavors, and besides the isolated free fixed point, the theory displays a line of…
