The smallness of the quark sector parameters and the hierarchy between them could be the result of a horizontal symmetry broken by a small parameter. Such an explicitly broken symmetry can arise from an exact symmetry which is spontaneously broken. Constraints on the scales of new physics arise {}from new flavor changing interactions and {}from Landau poles, but do not exclude the possibility of observable signatures at the TeV scale. Such a horizontal symmetry could also lead to many interesting results: (i) quark -- squark alignment that would suppress, without squark degeneracy, flavor changing neutral currents induced by supersymmetric particles, (ii) exact relations between mass ratios and mixing angles, (iii) a solution of the $\mu$-problem and (iv) a natural mechanism for obtaining hierarchy among various symmetry breaking scales.

    Yukawa hierarchies are generated from powers of fully anarchic spurions in higher SU(2) and SU(3) flavor representations via progressive rank lifting through composite outer products, with explicit models and predicti...

    SU(2)_F bosons in a U(2)_F flavor model induce unsuppressed flavor-violating couplings, with K to pi X and mu to e X constraining the breaking scale v_phi to 10^11-10^12 GeV for light bosons and other processes constr...

  3. Maximal Abelian Flavor Symmetries

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    MAFS approximates 15 flavor observables in SU(5) using 5 ε_a parameters and in SO(10) using 3, while requiring large neutrino mixing from quark hierarchies and generating baryon asymmetry via leptogenesis.

  4. Maximal Abelian Flavor Symmetries

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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).

  5. The Future of Lepton Flavor

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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.
