abstract

It is possible that the hierarchy in the masses and mixing of quarks is a result of a horizontal symmetry. The smallness of various parameters is related to their suppression by high powers of a scale of new physics. We analyze in detail the structure of such symmetries in view of new experimental data and present explicit models consistent with all phenomenological constraints. We show that it is possible that the flavor dynamics can be at accessible energies -- as low as a $TeV$.

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Z3 Froggatt-Nielsen model with one flavon reproduces quark and charged lepton hierarchies but yields neutrino mass-squared ratios too small by two orders of magnitude and random PMNS angles.

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the Z3 heterotic orbifold, the modular symmetry of the Kähler modulus is Gamma(3), and the discrete flavor symmetry Delta(27) arises from misaligned U(1) gauge symmetries that become massless at different critical points.

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gauging chiral tau lepton number with a light X boson of mass about 2.1 GeV explains the Belle II B to K missing-energy excess and survives existing bounds.
