Gauge-flavon unification
Alfredo Aranda, Francisco J. de Anda, Stephen F. King
In this paper we propose the idea that flavons can emerge from extra dimensional gauge fields, referred to as gauge-flavon unification (GFU) analogous to gauge-Higgs unification (G…
Flavour and CP predictions from orbifold compactification
Francisco J. de Anda, José W. F. Valle, Carlos A. Vaquera-Araujo
We propose a theory for fermion masses and mixings in which an family symmetry arises naturally from a six-dimensional spacetime after orbifold compactification. The flavour…
Flavon alignments from orbifolding: model with
Francisco J. de Anda, Stephen F. King, Elena Perdomo +1
We systematically develop the formalism necessary for ensuring that boundary conditions of flavon fields in extra dimensions are consistent with heterotic string theory. Having dev…
Grand Unified Theory of Flavour and Leptogenesis
Francisco J. de Anda, Stephen F. King, Elena Perdomo
We propose a Grand Unified Theory of Flavour, based on together with a non-Abelian discrete group , under which the unified three quark and lepton 16-plets are unifie…
