Unified Model of Fermion Masses with Wilson Line Flavor Symmetry Breaking
We present a supersymmetric SU(5) GUT model with a discrete non-Abelian flavor symmetry that is broken by Wilson lines. The model is formulated in 4+3 dimensions compactified on a manifold S3/Zn. Symmetry breaking by Wilson lines is topological and allows to realize the necessary flavor symmetry breaking without a vacuum alignment mechanism. The model predicts the hierarchical pattern of charge...
متن کاملFlavor Symmetry and Fermion Masses: Towards a Grand Unified Theory of Flavor
Pursuing a bottom-up approach to explore which flavor symmetry could serve as an explanation of the observed fermion masses and mixings, we discuss an extension of the standard model (SM) where the flavor structure for both quarks and leptons is determined by a spontaneously broken S4 and the requirement that its particle content is embeddable simultaneously into the conventional SO(10) grand u...
متن کاملFermion Masses and Hierarchy of Symmetry Breaking
We suggest that the breaking of a symmetry unifying the families of fermions occurs in stages. We consider the total Lagrangian to be invariant under the group SU(2) xU(1) x G, where G is a discrete group. The Higgs potential is, however, invariant under SU(2) xU(1) xE, where E 3 G. In a first stage c is broken to a subgroup H C 5, but H is not contained in G. The u and d quarks are naturally m...
متن کاملSymmetry Breaking, Chiral Dynamics, and Fermion Masses
Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is one of the main paradig.ns of particle physics. I will briefly review 1) the general history of SSB, 2) the universal features and descriptions of gap formation and chirM dynamics in the BSC-type mechanisms in condensed matter, nuclear, and particle physics, and 3) some open problems including the mass hierarchy in the Standard Model and beyond.
متن کاملSpontaneous Breaking of Flavor Symmetry and Parity in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Model with Wilson Fermions
We study the lattice Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with two flavors of Wilson fermions in the large N limit, where N is the number of ‘colors’. For large values of the fourfermion coupling we find a phase in which both, flavor symmetry and parity, are spontaneously broken. In accordance with general expectations there are three massless pions on the phase boundary, but only two of them remain massle...
