We propose a simple clockwork model of flavor which successfully generates the Standard Model flavor hierarchies from random order-one couplings. With very few parameters we achieve distributions of models in excellent agreement with observation. We explain in some detail the interpretation of our mechanism as random localization of zero modes in theory space. The scale of the vectorlike fermions is mostly constrained by lepton flavor violation with secondary constraints arising from rare meson decays.

  1. Inequalities for Standard Model Yukawa Couplings

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper proves rigorous, basis-independent inequalities on combinations of Standard Model Yukawa matrix entries that follow from the observed hierarchical fermion masses and CKM angles.
