abstract
The first fermion family might play a special role in understanding the physics of flavour. This possibility is suggested by the observation that the up-down splitting within quark families increases with the family number: $ m_u\sim m_d$, $m_c>m_s$, $m_t\gg m_b$. We construct a model that realizes this feature of the spectrum in a natural way. The inter-family hierarchy is first generated by radiative phenomena in a sector of heavy isosinglet fermions and then transferred to quarks by means of a universal seesaw. A crucial role is played by left-right parity and up-down isotopic symmetry. No family symmetry is introduced. The model implies $m_u/m_d>$ 0.5 and the Cabibbo angle is forced to be $\sim\sqrt{m_d/m_s}$. The top quark is naturally in the 100 GeV range, but not too heavy: $m_t<$ 150 GeV. Inspired by the mass matrices obtained in the model for quarks, we suggest an ansatz also including charged leptons. The differences between $u$-, $d$- and $e$-type fermions are simply parametrized by three complex coefficients $\eps{u}$, $\eps{d}$ and $\eps{e}$. Additional consistent predictions are obtained: $m_s$=100-150 MeV and $m_u/m_d<$ 0.75.

Vector-like quark doublets, weak-basis invariants and CP violation
Vector-like quark doublets allow CP violation in weak-basis invariants of mass dimension six; the resulting framework organizes the model's parameters, gives the complete CP-odd invariant set for one doublet, and link...

Gauged Flavour for Asymmetric Dark Matter
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).

A common origin of the Higgs boson and the flavor hierarchies
A unified TeV-scale model produces the Higgs as a pseudo-Goldstone boson from the same gauge deconstruction that suppresses light-family Yukawa couplings and CKM mixing while leaving PMNS mixing anarchic.

The Future of Lepton Flavor
Upcoming neutrino experiments are projected to substantially reduce the number of viable leptonic flavor models in five popular classes by measuring mass ordering, theta_23 octant, delta_CP, and absolute mass scale.
