The Third Family is Different
Paul H. Frampton
It now appears phenomenologically that the third family of fundamental fermions may be essentially different fron the first two. Particularly the high value (174GeV?) of the top qu…
Simple Non-Abelian Finite Flavor Groups and Fermion Masses
Paul H. Frampton, Thomas W. Kephart
The use of nonabelian discrete groups G as family symmetries is discussed in detail. Out of all such groups up to order g = 31, the most appealing candidates are two subgroups of S…
Minimal Family Unification
Paul H. Frampton, Thomas W. Kephart
Absract It is proposed that there exist, within a new , a gauged discrete group (the order 12 double dihedral group) acting as a family symmetry. This nonabelian f…
Massive Superstrings are Black Holes
Paul H. Frampton, Thomas W. Kephart
We argue that it is inconsistent to ignore the gravitational backreaction for on-shell superstring states at the Planck mass and beyond, and that these quantum states become Kerr b…
Outcome from Spontaneous CP Violation for B Decays
A. W. Ackley, P. H. Frampton, B. Kayser +1
In the aspon model solution of the strong problem, there is a gauged symmetry, spontaneously broken by the same vacuum expectation value which breaks , whose massiv…
