Quark-Lepton Masses and the Neutrino Puzzle in the AGUT Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We first discuss an approach to the fermion mass problem, according to which the whole of flavour mixing for quarks is determined by the mechanism responsible for generating the physical masses of the up and down quarks: the Lightest Flavour Mass Generation model. Then we consider fermion masses in the Anti-grand Unification Theory and, in particular, the neutrino mass and mixing problem.

The Quark Lepton Mass Problem and the Anti-Grand Unification Model
The fermion mass problem and the ideas of mass protection are briefly reviewed. The Fritzsch ansatz for the quark mass matrices and a recent variant, based on a lightest flavour mixing mechanism in which all the CKMmixing angles disappear in the chiral symmetry limit of vanishing up and down quark masses, are discussed. The Anti-Grand Unification Model (AGUT) and the Multiple Point Principle (M...

From considerations of the number of matrix elements of different orders of magnitude in the quark and charged lepton mass matrices, we suggest that the underlying gauge group responsible for the spectrum should have several— actually of the order of 7 to 10—cross product factors. This is taken to support our AGUT gauge group SM G 3 × U (1) f which, under certain simple conditions, is the maxim...
متن کاملMasses and mixing angles and going beyond the Standard Model
The idea, following Michel and O’Raifeartaigh, of assigning meaning to the (gauge) group and not only the Lie algebra for a Yang Mills theory is reviewed. Hints from the group and the fermion spectrum of the Standard Model are used to suggest the putting forward of our AGUT-model, which gives a very good fit to the orders of magnitudes of the quark and lepton masses and the mixing angles includ...
متن کاملThe Fermion Mass Problem *
I review the 'puzzles' associated with the fermion mass matrices and describe some recent attempts to resolve them, at least partially. Models which attempt to explain the observed mass hierarchy as arising from ra-diative corrections are discussed. I then scrutinize possible inter–relations among quark and lepton masses and the mixing angles in the context of grand unified theories. It is argu...
متن کاملLepton mass matrices from a quark-lepton analogy
We study the implications of having a similarity between quark and lepton mixing in the Dirac sector of the Standard Model plus the right-handed neutrino. This enable us to describe all masses and mixings in the Dirac sector in terms of only five parameters: three mass scales mb, mτ and mt, one parameter λ describing all the mixings, and a CP violating phase in the quark sector. Then, from expe...
