Mass hierarchy from compositeness hierarchy in supersymmetric gauge theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The possibility that the mass hierarchy is intimately associated with the compositeness level of the matters is proposed in supersymmetric gauge theory. This implies, for instance, that the preons constituting top quark consists of the “prepreons” binded by the same gauge force making the charm quark out of another preons. The exemplifying toy model illustrates how the hierarchy in the yukawa coupling constants in the up-quark sector is generated from the underlying gauge dynamics. It is also indicated that the incorporation of down-type quarks as elementary objects leads to unpleasant results generically. Thus all the quarks as well as the leptons must also be regarded as composite in the present approach.

Flavor, Compositeness, and Dynamical Breaking of Supersymmetry
We should be taking advantage of recent gains in our nonperturbative understanding of supersymmetric gauge theories to find the “standard” model of of dynamical supersymmetry breaking, and possibly of flavor as well. As an illustration of the possibilities for understanding the flavor hierarchy, I describe a realistic, renormalizable, supersymmetric model with a compositeness scale of ∼ 1−3 TeV...
متن کاملRadiative Fermion Mass Hierarchy in a Non-supersymmetric Unified Theory
In non-supersymmetric grand unified models a “radiative fermion mass hierarchy” can be achieved in which the spectrum of quark and lepton masses is determined entirely by physics at the unification scale, with many relations following from the unified gauge symmetry, and with the masses of the lightest family arising from loops. A simple, realistic, and predictive model of this kind is presente...
متن کاملTop compositeness and precision unification.
The evolution of standard model gauge couplings is studied in a nonsupersymmetric scenario in which the hierarchy problem is resolved by Higgs compositeness above the weak scale. It is argued that massiveness of the top quark combined with precision tests of the bottom quark imply that the right-handed top must also be composite. If, further, the standard model gauge symmetry is embedded into a...
متن کاملDoubly Lopsided Mass Matrices from Supersymmetric SU(N) Unification
It is shown that in supersymmetric SU(N) models with N > 5 the so-called “doubly lopsided” mass matrix structure can emerge in a natural way. The non-trivial flavor structure is entirely accounted for by the SU(N) gauge symmetry and supersymmetry, without any “flavor symmetry”. The hierarchy among the families results directly from a hierarchy of scales in the chain of breaking from SU(N) to th...
متن کاملFermion Mass Hierarchy without Flavour Symmetry
We discuss a supersymmetric grand uni ed model which has gauge group SU(5) SU(5) SU(5), with matter elds transforming asymmetrically under di erent gauge SU(5) groups. We observe that the gauge structure of the model leads to approximate texture zero structures in fermion mass matrices and a natural hierarchy in the Yukawa couplings. The proton lifetime is estimated to be larger than 10 years i...
