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 present a systematic spurion setup called Aligned Flavor Violation (AFV) that allows for new physics couplings to quarks that are aligned with the Standard Model (SM) Yukawas, but do not necessarily share their hierarchies nor are family universal. Additionally, we show that there is an important subset of AFV called Spontaneous Flavor Violation (SFV), which naturally arises from UV completions where the quark family number and CP groups are spontaneously broken. Flavor-changing neutral currents are strongly suppressed in SFV extensions of the SM. We study SFV from an effective field theory perspective and demonstrate that SFV new physics with significant and preferential couplings to first or second generation quarks may be close to the TeV scale.
