abstract

We propose a geometric theory of flavor based on the discrete group $(S_3)^3$, in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. The group treats three objects symmetrically, while making fundamental distinctions between the generations. The top quark is the only heavy quark in the symmetry limit, and the first and second generation squarks are degenerate. The hierarchical nature of Yukawa matrices is a consequence of a sequential breaking of $(S_3)^3$.

  1. Classification of minimal models producing b, c and tau masses at one-loop level

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A systematic catalogue of 25 minimal radiative mass models for b, c, and τ, including eight 'hybrid' models whose Yukawa couplings can lie above, below, or exactly at the Standard Model prediction.

  2. Maximal Abelian Flavor Symmetries

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    MAFS describes 15 flavor observables in SU(5) and SO(10) GUTs using 5 or 3 fitted small parameters at factor-of-two accuracy, implying large neutrino mixings and approximate leptogenesis without extra parameters in SU(5).

  3. Topological Freeze-out by Semi-Annihilation

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A dark QCD sector with gauged baryon number yields a p-wave semi-annihilation channel that can set the dark matter relic abundance for pion masses between 10 MeV and 1 TeV.
