Toward solving the cosmological constant problem by embedding

Roman V. Buniy, Thomas W. Kephart

The typical scalar field theory has a cosmological constant problem. We propose a generic mechanism by which this problem is avoided at tree level by embedding the theory into a la…

Natural fermion mass hierarchy and mixings in family unification

James B. Dent, Robert Feger, Thomas W. Kephart +1

We present an SU(9) model of family unification with three light chiral families, and a natural hierarchy of charged fermion masses and mixings. The existence of singlet right hand…

Baseline-dependent neutrino oscillations with extra-dimensional shortcuts

Sebastian Hollenberg, Octavian Micu, Heinrich Päs +1

In extra-dimensional scenarios oscillations between active and sterile neutrinos can be governed by a new resonance in the oscillation amplitude. This resonance results when cancel…

Fermion Mixings in SU(9) Family Unification

Paul H. Frampton, Thomas W. Kephart

In an SU(9) model of gauged family unification, we propose an explanation for why angles observed in the lepton flavor ({\it PMNS}) mixing matrix are significantly larger than thos…

A Note on Embedding Nonabelian Finite Flavor Groups in Continuous Groups

Paul H. Frampton, Thomas W. Kephart, Ryan M. Rohm

A nonabelian finite flavor group can have double covering such that . This situation is not contradictory, but quite na…
