Golden ratio lepton mixing and nonzero reactor angle with

I. de Medeiros Varzielas, L. Lavoura

We furnish a supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with a flavour discrete symmetry under which the lepton fields transform as an irreducible triplet. Additional (`f…

Effects of the imaginary inflaton component in supergravity new inflation

David Nolde

When models of new inflation are implemented in supergravity, the inflaton is a complex and not a real scalar field. As a complex scalar field has two independent components, super…

GUT predictions for quark-lepton Yukawa coupling ratios with messenger masses from non-singlets

Stefan Antusch, Stephen F. King, Martin Spinrath

We propose new predictions from Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) (applicable to both supersymmetric (SUSY) and non-SUSY models) for the ratios of quark and lepton Yukawa couplings. Th…

Geometrical CP violation with a complete fermion sector

Ivo de Medeiros Varzielas, Daniel Pidt

We consider Delta(27) models featuring geometrical CP violation, and analyse several structures that can obtain the observed lepton masses and mixing. The leptonic structures consi…

Lepton masses and mixings in a multi-Higgs model with radiative seesaw mechanism

A. E. Cárcamo Hernández, Ivo de Medeiros Varzielas, S. G. Kovalenko +2

We propose a renormalizable multi-Higgs model with symmetry, accounting for the experimental deviation from the tribimaximal mixing patte…

Towards realistic models of quark masses with geometrical CP violation

Ivo de Medeiros Varzielas, Daniel Pidt

We present a model for quark masses and mixing, featuring geometrical CP violation through a Δ(27) triplet. By employing a single U(1)_F or Z_N symmetry in addition to Δ(27), we fo…

Solving the Strong CP Problem with Discrete Symmetries and the Right Unitarity Triangle

Stefan Antusch, Martin Holthausen, Michael A. Schmidt +1

We present a solution to the strong CP problem based on spontaneous CP violation and discrete family symmetries. The model predicts in a natural way the almost right-angled quark u…

Running quark and lepton parameters at various scales

Stefan Antusch, Vinzenz Maurer

We calculate the values and 1 sigma ranges of the running quark and lepton Yukawa couplings as well as of the quark mixing parameters at various energy scales, i.e. at M_Z, 1 TeV,…

SUGRA New Inflation with Heisenberg Symmetry

Stefan Antusch, Francesco Cefala

We propose a realisation of 'new inflation' in supergravity (SUGRA), where the flatness of the inflaton potential is protected by a Heisenberg symmetry. Inflation can be associated…

Inverse neutrino mass hierarchy in a flavour GUT model

Stefan Antusch, Christian Gross, Vinzenz Maurer +1

We construct a supersymmetric SU(5) x A_4 flavour GUT model in which an inverse neutrino mass hierarchy is realised without fine-tuning of parameters. The model shares some propert…

Matter inflation with A_4 flavour symmetry breaking

Stefan Antusch, David Nolde

We discuss model building in tribrid inflation, which is a framework for realising inflation in the matter sector of supersymmetric particle physics models. The inflaton is a D-fla…

A flavour GUT model with theta_13^PMNS = theta_C / sqrt(2)

Stefan Antusch, Christian Gross, Vinzenz Maurer +1

We propose a supersymmetric SU(5) GUT model with an A_4 family symmetry - including a full flavon- and messenger sector - which realises the relation theta_13^PMNS \simeq theta_C /…

Spontaneous CP violation in A4xSU(5) with Constrained Sequential Dominance 2

Stefan Antusch, Stephen F. King, Martin Spinrath

We revisit a two right-handed neutrino model with two texture zeros, namely an indirect model based on A4 with the recently proposed new type of constrained sequential dominance (C…
