We study the phenomenology of a model where an SU(2)^3 flavour symmetry acting on the first two generation quarks is gauged and Yukawa couplings for the light generations are generated by a see-saw mechanism involving heavy fermions needed to cancel flavour-gauge anomalies. We find that, in constrast to the SU(3)^3 case studied in the literature, most of the constraints related to the third generation, like electroweak precision bounds or B physics observables, can be evaded, while characteristic collider signatures are predicted.

  1. Gauged Flavour for Asymmetric Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A gauged SO(3) flavour symmetry spontaneously broken at multiple scales links SM flavour hierarchies to asymmetric dark matter via leptogenesis and sphaleron redistribution, with DM as bound states of a confining SU(3).

  2. Cosmological History of Flavour Deconstruction Models: Constraints from Monopole Production

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.
