abstract
For a large set of flavor symmetries, the lowest-dimensional baryon- or lepton-number violating operators in the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT) with flavor symmetry are of mass dimension 9. As a consequence, baryon- and lepton-number violating processes are further suppressed with the introduction of flavor symmetries, e.g., the allowed scale associated with proton decay is typically lowered to $10^5$ GeV, which is significantly lower than the GUT scale. To illustrate these features, we discuss Minimal Flavor Violation for the Standard Model augmented by sterile neutrinos.

Most general EFTs from spurion analysis: Hilbert series and Minimal Lepton Flavor Violation
Spurion-based EFTs are exactly equivalent to EFTs restricted to the residual symmetry preserved by a generic spurion vacuum expectation value, at all mass dimensions when all spurion powers are kept.
