SU(3) Family Gauge Symmetry and the Axion
Thomas Appelquist, Yang Bai, Maurizio Piai
We analyze the structure of a recently proposed effective field theory (EFT) for the generation of quark and lepton mass ratios and mixing angles, based on the spontaneous breaking…
Neutrinos and SU(3) Family Gauge Symmetry
Thomas Appelquist, Yang Bai, Maurizio Piai
We include the standard-model (SM) leptons in a recently proposed framework for the generation of quark mass ratios and Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) mixing angles from an SU(3)…
Quark Mass Ratios and Mixing Angles from SU(3) Family Gauge Symmetry
Thomas Appelquist, Yang Bai, Maurizio Piai
We explore a framework for the computation of quark mass ratios and CKM mixing angles based on an SU(3) family gauge symmetry. The four ratios md/mb, ms/mb, mu/mt, and mc/mt can be…
Breaking Discrete Symmetries in Broken Gauge Theories
Thomas Appelquist, Yang Bai, Maurizio Piai
We study the spontaneous breaking of discrete symmetries in theories with broken gauge symmetry. The intended application is to CP breaking in theories with gauged flavor symmetrie…
Flavor-Changing Processes in Extended Technicolor
Thomas Appelquist, Neil Christensen, Maurizio Piai +1
We analyze constraints on a class of extended technicolor (ETC) models from neutral flavor-changing processes induced by (dimension-six) four-fermion operators. The ETC gauge group…
Quark Dipole Operators in Extended Technicolor Models
Thomas Appelquist, Maurizio Piai, Robert Shrock
We study diagonal and transition quark dipole operators in a class of extended technicolor (ETC) models, taking account of the multiscale nature of the ETC gauge symmetry breaking…
