An A_5 Model of Four Lepton Generations
Chian-Shu Chen, Thomas W. Kephart, Tzu-Chiang Yuan
We study the lepton sector of a four generations model based on the discrete flavor group (the even permutation of five objects). The best features of the three family …
Knotting and higher order linking in physical systems
Roman V. Buniy, Martha J. Holmes, Thomas W. Kephart
We discuss physical systems with topologies more complicated than simple gaussian linking. Our examples of these higher topologies are in non-relativistic quantum mechanics and in…
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…
Simplified Renormalizable Model for Tribimaximal Mixing and Cabibbo Angle
Paul H. Frampton, Thomas W. Kephart, Shinya Matsuzaki
In a simplified renormalizable model where the neutrinos have PMNS (Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata) mixings tan and with flavor symmet…
Modified Pati-Salam Model from orbifolded AdS/CFT
James B. Dent, Pasquale L. Iafelice, Thomas W. Kephart
We consider models built on orbifold compactifications of the type superstring, where is the abelian group . An attractive three family $\mathca…
