Commensurate Structure of Quark and Lepton Mixing: Eighteenth Powers of One Parameter and a Digital-Clock Quantization of the Unitarity Triangles
Vernon Barger
We identify two commensurate structures in the measured quark and lepton mixing data, one multiplicative and one angular, and their exact relation. With the hierarchy parameter $\v…
The model: trimaximal first-column lepton mixing with charged-lepton -- breaking
Vernon Barger
The first column of the lepton mixing matrix carries two independent magnitude conditions: the trimaximal norm and the -- balance . W…
The KM3NeT 220 PeV event: a neutrino messenger from the grand unification scale?
Vernon Barger
The paper proposes that the 220 PeV neutrino detected by KM3NeT could originate from the two‑body decay of a very heavy relic particle (mass ≈ 4.4×10⁸ GeV), linking the event to ph…
Lepton Mixing from a Lattice Flavon Model: A Two-Branch Octant-delta Prediction
Vernon Barger
We extend the single-flavon -lattice Froggatt--Nielsen (FN) framework, previously successful for quark masses and Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) mixing, to the lepton sector. T…
Flavor in Ninths and a Discrete Gauge Origin of the QCD Axion
Vernon Barger
Quark and lepton hierarchies are organized by rational powers of a single parameter (the quark masses and mixings in ninths, the charged-lepton mass ratios in sixths). We argue tha…
Generation as Compositeness: A Subconstituent Interpretation of the -Lattice Flavor Hierarchy
Vernon Barger
We interpret the -lattice flavor framework as a compositeness hierarchy: all three fermion generations are elementary chiral fields, but third-generation Yukawa couplings are un…
