Introduces a new class of flavor models using non-minimal irreducible representations for the flavor-breaking spurion to generate fermion mass hierarchies accidentally from O(1) UV parameters via multiple insertions, relying on non-Abelian symmetries and predicting unique flavor-violating operators.

abstract
We review the formulation of the Minimal Flavour Violation (MFV) hypothesis in the quark sector, as well as some "variations on a theme" based on smaller flavour symmetry groups and/or less minimal breaking terms. We also review how these hypotheses can be tested in B decays and by means of other flavour-physics observables. The phenomenological consequences of MFV are discussed both in general terms, employing a general effective theory approach, and in the specific context of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the SM.

Flavour deconstruction models with semi-simple gauge groups generically produce light monopoles that require low-scale reheating after inflation to satisfy cosmological and astrophysical bounds.
Two-zero textures in the neutrino mass matrix produce distinctive, testable correlations among charged lepton flavor violation processes, with some patterns suppressing muon-to-electron transitions while permitting tau decays at observable rates down to a 5-6 TeV cutoff.
Next-to-leading order spurion effects in a minimal lepton flavor deconstruction model induce observable charged lepton flavor violation, lepton flavor universality violation, and electric dipole moments at multi-10 TeV scales.
SMEFT global fit to b→s anomalies with complex Wilson coefficients shows left-handed four-fermion operators preferred and demonstrates that U(3)^5 or U(2)^5 flavor symmetry restores consistency with kaon data.
