We extend recently proposed mimetic dark matter (DM) and dust of dark energy (DE) models to a U(1)-charged gauged scalar field. This extension yields a mass to the photon via the Higgs mechanism. The square of this photon mass is…

One of the simplest extensions of the Standard Model is the inclusion of an additional scalar multiplet, and we consider scalars in the $SU(2)_L$ singlet, triplet, and quartet representations. We examine models with heavy neutral scalars,…

We discuss the potential and mass-matrix of gauged N=4 matter coupled supergravity for the case of six matter multiplets, extending previous work by considering the dependence on all scalars. We consider all semi-simple gauge groups and…

In an Euclidean SU(2) $\otimes$ U(1) gauge theory without fermions, we identify scalar-field variables, functionals of the gauge fields and coming in different representations of isospin, which (i) are of mass dimension one in $d=4$, (ii)…

An effective theory is proposed, combining the standard gauge group $SU(3)_{C}\otimes SU(2)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{Y}$ with a horizontal discrete symmetry. By assigning appropriate charges under this discrete symmetry to the various fermion…

Motivated by the Super-Kamiokande data, we revisit models with U(1) symmetries and discuss the origin of neutrino masses and mixings in such theories. We show that, in models with just three light neutrinos and a hierarchy of neutrino…

Higher-derivative operators are central elements of any effective field theory. In supersymmetric theories, these operators include terms with derivatives in the K\"ahler potential. We develop a toolkit for coupling such supersymmetric…

We derive the field-dependent masses in Fermi gauges for arbitrary scalar extensions of the Standard Model. These masses can be used to construct the effective potential for various models of new physics. We release a flexible…

We present a supersymmetric model of fermion masses with SU(4)*SU(2)^2*U(1)_X gauge group with matter in fundamental and antisymmetric tensor representations only. The up, down, charged lepton and neutrino Yukawa matrices are distinguished…

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 propose a top hypercharge model with gauge symmetry SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_1 x U(1)_2 where the first two families of the Standard Model (SM) fermions are charged under U(1)_1 while the third family is charged under U(1)_2. The U(1)_1…

We propose an extension of the Standard Model (SM) for radiative neutrino mass by introducing a dark $U(1)_D$ gauge symmetry. The kinetic mixing between the SM gauges and the dark $U(1)_D$ gauge arises at 1-loop mediated by new inert scalar…

We study Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) like flavor models with modular symmetry. The FN mechanism is a convincing solution to the flavor puzzle in quark sector. The FN mechanism requires an extra $U(1)$ gauge symmetry which is broken at high…

Using the framework relating hypergeometric motives to modular forms, we define an explicit family of weight 2 Hecke eigenforms with complex multiplication. We use the theory of ${}_2F_1(1)$ hypergeometric series and Ramanujan's theory of…

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, the spectrum of charged fermion masses…

We review recent developments in theoretical models for neutrino masses and mixing. Emphases are given to models based on finite group family symmetries. In particular, we describe one recent model based on SU(5), in which both the…

We study Flipped $SU(5)\times U(1)$ Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) with $\Gamma_3\simeq A_4$ modular symmetry. We propose two models with different modular weights assignments, where the fermion mass hierarchy can arise from weighton fields.…

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…

We construct anomaly-free $U(1)_1\times U(1)_2\times...\times U(1)_m$ gauge extensions of the Standard Model. To perform this construction we put together anomaly-free $U(1)$ extensions of one and two families of fermions. The availability…

Dominant weight multiplicities of simple Lie groups are expressed in terms of the modular matrices of Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theories, and related objects. Symmetries of the modular matrices give rise to new relations among…
