Quark Yukawa pattern from spontaneous breaking of flavour $SU(3{)}^3$

Abstract

A $SU(3{)}_Q\times SU(3{)}_u\times SU(3{)}_d$ invariant scalar potential breaking spontaneously the quark flavour symmetry can explain the standard model flavour puzzle. The approximate alignment in flavour space of the vacuum expectation values of the up and down `Yukawa fields' results as a dynamical effect. The observed quark mixing angles, the weak CP violating phase, and hierarchical quark masses can be all reproduced at the cost of introducing additional (auxiliary) scalar multiplets, but without the need of introducing hierarchical parameters.
