متن کاملStabilizing the Axion by Discrete Gauge Symmetries
The axion solution to the strong CP problem makes use of a global Peccei–Quinn U(1) symmetry which is susceptible to violations from quantum gravitational effects. We show how discrete gauge symmetries can protect the axion from such violations. PQ symmetry emerges as an approximate global symmetry from discrete gauge symmetries. Simple models based on ZN symmetries with N = 11, 12, etc are pre...
متن کاملLarge hierarchies from approximate R symmetries.
We show that hierarchically small vacuum expectation values of the superpotential in supersymmetric theories can be a consequence of an approximate R symmetry. We briefly discuss the role of such small constants in moduli stabilization and understanding the huge hierarchy between the Planck and electroweak scales.
متن کاملDetecting approximate symmetries of discrete point subsets
Detecting approximate symmetries of parts of a model is important when attempting to determine the geometric design intent of approximate boundary-representation (B-rep) solid models produced e.g. by reverse engineering systems. For example, such detected symmetries may be enforced exactly on the model to improve its shape, to simplify its analysis, or to constrain it during editing. We give an...
متن کاملNonabelian Discrete Symmetries, Fermion Mass Textures and Large Neutrino Mixing
Nonabelian discrete groups are an attractive tool to describe fermion masses and mixings. They have nonsinglet representations which seem particularly suitable for distinguishing the lighter generations from the heavier ones. Also, they do not suffer from the extra constraints a continuous group must obey, e.g. limits on extra particles. Some of the simplest groups are the nonabelian discrete s...
