Solving Flavor Puzzles with Quiver Gauge Theories

چکیده
We consider a large class of models where the SU(5) gauge symmetry and a Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) Abelian flavor symmetry arise from a U(5)×U(5) quiver gauge theory. An intriguing feature of these models is a relation between the gauge representation and the horizontal charge, leading to a restricted set of possible FN charges. Requiring that quark masses are hierarchical, the lepton flavor structure is uniquely determined. In particular, neutrino mass anarchy is predicted.

Extracting Flavor from Quiver Gauge Theories
We consider a large class of models where an SU(5) gauge symmetry and a FroggattNielsen (FN) Abelian flavor symmetry arise from a quiver gauge theory. Such quiver models are very restrictive and therefore have strong predictive power. In particular, under mild assumptions neutrino mass anarchy is predicted.
متن کاملComments on Anomalies and Charges of Toric-Quiver Duals
We obtain a simple expression for the triangle ‘t Hooft anomalies in quiver gauge theories that are dual to toric Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. We utilize the result and simplify considerably the proof concerning the equivalence of a-maximization and Z-minimization. We also resolve the ambiguity in defining the flavor charges in quiver gauge theories. We then compare coefficients of the triangle a...
متن کاملSix-dimensional DN theory and four-dimensional SO–USp quivers
We realize four-dimensional N = 2 superconformal quiver gauge theories with alternating SO and USp gauge groups as compactifications of the six-dimensional DN theory with defects. The construction can be used to analyze infinitely stronglycoupled limits and S-dualities of such gauge theories, resulting in a new class of isolated four-dimensional N = 2 superconformal field theories with SO(2N) f...
متن کاملAnomaly Cancellations in Brane Tilings
We re-interpret the anomaly cancellation conditions for the gauge symmetries and the baryonic flavor symmetries in quiver gauge theories realized by the brane tilings from the viewpoint of flux conservation on branes. ∗ E-mail: [email protected]
متن کاملGauge theories from D7-branes over vanishing 4-cycles
We study quiver gauge theories on D7-branes wrapped over vanishing holomorphic 4-cycles. We investigate how to incorporate O7-planes and/or flavor D7branes, which are necessary to cancel anomalies. These theories are chiral, preserve four supercharges and exhibit very rich infrared dynamics. Geometric transitions and duality in the presence of O-planes are analyzed. We study the Higgs branch of...
