Friedberg-Lee Symmetry for Quark Masses and Flavor Mixing
نویسنده
چکیده
We point out a generic correlation between the Friedberg-Lee symmetry of quark mass operators and the vanishing of quark masses. We make phenomenological explorations on two textures of quark mass matrices with the broken Friedberg-Lee symmetry. We present a new pattern of quark mass matrices in agreement with current experimental data. Both analytical and numerical results of our calculations are discussed in detail.

Neutrino Mixing : from the Broken μ - τ Symmetry to the Broken Friedberg - Lee Symmetry
I argue that the observed flavor structures of leptons and quarks might imply the existence of certain flavor symmetries. The latter should be a good starting point to build realistic models towards deeper understanding of the fermion mass spectra and flavor mixing patterns. The µ-τ permutation symmetry serves for such an example to interpret the almost maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing angle...
متن کاملUnified 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 کاملExtended Friedberg Lee hidden symmetries, quark masses and CP-violation with four generations
Motivated in part by the several observed anomalies involving CP asymmetries of B and Bs decays, we consider the Standard Model with a 4th sequential family (SM4) which seems to offer a rather simple resolution. We initially assume T-invariance by taking the up and down-quark 4 × 4 mass matrix to be real. Following Friedberg and Lee (FL), we then impose a “hidden” symmetry on the unobserved (“h...
متن کاملQuark and Lepton Masses from a U ( 1 ) × Z 2 Flavor Symmetry
We show that solutions for the masses and mixings of the quarks and leptons based on a U (1)×Z 2 horizontal symmetry are possible. The seesaw mechanism is shown to work consistently in the presence of the discrete symmetry. The discrete symmetry results in the phenomenologically useful suppressions of elements of the Yukawa matrices. The quark and lepton masses, the CKM mixing angles, and the n...
متن کاملFlavor Mixing, CP–Violation and the Masses of the Light Quarks
The observed hierarchy of the quark masses is interpreted as a signal for an underlying “subnuclear democracy” as the relevant symmetry of the quark mass terms. A simple breaking of the symmetry leads to a mixing between the second and the third family, in agreement with observation. Introducing the mixing between the first and the second family, one finds an interesting pattern of maximal CP–v...
