Modular flavour symmetry and orbifolds

Francisco J. de Anda, Stephen F. King

We develop a bottom-up approach to flavour models which combine modular symmetry with orbifold constructions. We first consider a 6d orbifold , with a si…

Scotogenic majorana neutrino masses in a predictive orbifold theory of flavour

Francisco J. de Anda, Omar Medina, José W. F. Valle +1

The use of extra space-time dimensions provides a promising approach to the flavour problem. The chosen compactification of a 6-dimensional orbifold implies a remnant family symmet…

Sculpting the Standard Model from low-scale Gauge-Higgs-Matter Grand Unification in ten dimensions

Alfredo Aranda, Francisco J. de Anda, António P. Morais +1

The construction and general implications of a model with complete supersymmetric unification of the Standard Model matter content, interactions and families' replication into a si…

Quark and Lepton Mass and Mixing with non-universal from a 5d Standard Model with gauged

Francisco J. de Anda, Stephen F. King

We propose a theory of quark and lepton mass and mixing with non-universal couplings based on a 5d Standard Model with quarks and leptons transforming as triplets under a new…

Complete Unification in 10 Dimensions

Alfredo Aranda, Francisco J. de Anda

A grand unification model with a single gauge superfield in 10 dimensions is presented. It is shown that, through the orbifold and its…

Scotogenic dark matter in an orbifold theory of flavor

Francisco J. de Anda, Ignatios Antoniadis, José W. F. Valle +1

We propose a flavour theory in which the family symmetry results naturally from a six-dimensional orbifold compactification. "Diracness" of neutrinos is a consequence of the spacet…

Exceptional Unification of Families and Forces

Alfredo Aranda, Francisco J. de Anda, Stephen F. King

This work considers the remarkable suggestion that the three families of quarks and leptons may be unified, together with the Higgs and gauge fields of the Standard Model (SM), int…

Probing the predictions of an orbifold theory of flavor

Francisco J. de Anda, Newton Nath, José W. F. Valle +1

We examine the implications of a recently proposed theory of fermion masses and mixings in which an family symmetry emerges from orbifold compactification. We analyse two var…

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…

Emergent gravity from off-shell energy fixing

Francisco J. de Anda

Off-shell processes do not preserve the Energy Momentum Tensor (EMT) in QFT. Fixing the EMT throughout off-shell processes, implies a graviton-like quantum field to emerge without…

Grand Unified Theory with Modular Symmetry

Francisco J. de Anda, Stephen F. King, Elena Perdomo

We present the first example of a grand unified theory (GUT) with a modular symmetry interpreted as a family symmetry. The theory is based on supersymmetric in 6d, where th…

An SUSY GUT of flavour in 6d

Francisco J. de Anda, Stephen F. King

We propose a 6d model with a SUSY gauge symmetry. After compactification, it explains the origin of the Family Symmetry with CSD3 vacuum alignment, as well as …

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…

A natural model of flavour

Fredrik Björkeroth, Francisco J. de Anda, Stephen F. King +1

We propose a natural supersymmetric grand unified theory of flavour with an auxiliary symmetry, based on small Higgs re…
