The horizontal symmetry $U(3)_H$ can greatly help in solving the flavor problems in the supersymmetric grand unification. We consider the $SU(5)\times U(3)_H$ model and show that it leads to the remarkable relations between the fermion mass…
We discuss the role played by the horizontal flavour symmetry in supersymmetric theories. In particular, we consider the horizontal symmetry $SU(3)_H$ between the three fermion families and show how this concept can help in explaining the…
The heaviness of the third family fermions and the experimental absence of large flavor violating processes suggest, in supersymmetric theories, that the three families belong to a $2+1$ representation of a horizontal symmetry $G_H$. In…
Recent interest in horizontal symmetry model building has been driven mainly by the large top mass and hence strong hierarchy in quark masses, and the possibility of appropriately constrained soft squark mass matrices, in place of an…
A non anomalous horizontal $U(1)_H$ gauge symmetry can be responsible for the fermion mass hierarchies of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. Imposing the consistency conditions for the absence of gauge anomalies yields the following…
It is shown how to use as horizontal symmetry the dicyclic group $Q_6 \subset SU(2)$ in a supersymmetric unification $SU(5)\otimes SU(5)\otimes SU(2)$ where one $SU(5)$ acts on the first and second families, in a horizontal doublet, and the…
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…
The family symmetry $SU(3)\otimes U(1)$ is proposed to solve flavor problems about fermion masses and flavor mixings. It's breaking is implemented by some flavon fields at the high-energy scale. In addition a discrete group $Z_{2}$ is…
The possibility of adding an SU(2) horizontal symmetry to the 331 model is studied. It is found that simple, anomaly-free fermion assignments can be made which lead to plausible results for fermion masses and mixings. In particular, all…
We suggest a new particle model based on the symmetry group $SU(3)_{C}\otimes SU(2)_{L}\otimes SU(2)_{L'}\otimes SU(2)_{R}\otimes U(1)_{B-L}\otimes SU(3)_{F}\otimes U(1)_{N}$. The family symmetry and the high-energy left-handed and…
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…
We review and compare theoretically and phenomenologically a number of possible family symmetries, which when combined with unification, could be important in explaining quark, lepton and neutrino masses and mixings, providing new results…
We propose the family universal $U(1)_X$ models with three right-handed neutrinos by choosing the $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry as a linear combination of $U(1)_Y\times U(1)_{\chi}$ of $SO(10)$. To be consistent with the quantum gravity effects,…
The concept of non-abelian horizontal symmetry $SU(3)_H$ can greatly help in understanding the fermion and sfermion flavour structures in supersymmetric grand unification. For the sake of demonstration the $SU(5)\times SU(3)_H$ model,…
In this letter, we introduce a new approach to formulate the family structure of the standard model. Trying to mimic the highly contrained representation structure of the standard model while extending the symmetry, we propose a…
We reconsider models of fermion masses and mixings based on a gauge anomalous horizontal U(1) symmetry. In the simplest model with a single flavon field and horizontal charges of the same sign for all Standard Model fields, only very few…
Consider the addition of a right-handed SU(2) fermion multiplet (with neither color nor hypercharge) to each family of quarks and leptons. The resultant theory admits a new U(1) gauge symmetry only if the additional multiplet is a singlet…
In the simplest model of horizontal U(1) symmetry with one singlet added to the supersymmetric standard model, we systematically reconstruct quark mass matrices from the low-energy data to prove that there are only two mass matrices found…
We use a $U(2)\times U(1)$ horizontal symmetry in order to construct supersymmetric models where the flavor structure of both quarks and leptons is induced naturally. The supersymmetric flavor changing neutral currents problem is solved by…
We analyze all the possible continuous horizontal gauge groups G_H in relation with their possibility to explain m_b<<m_t. We assume that the only effective fermionic degrees of freedom correspond to the known fermions but allow the…
