Demystifying stringy miracles with eclectic flavor symmetries
V. Knapp-Perez, Xiang-Gan Liu, Hans Peter Nilles +1
Effective field theories arising from string compactifications are subject to constraints originating from the duality transformations of string theory. Interpreting these so-calle…
Quark and lepton masses
Ferruccio Feruglio, Saul Ramos-Sanchez
Quarks and leptons, the fundamental building blocks of the subatomic world, manifest in three families - replicas with identical quantum numbers that differ only in their masses. A…
Non-Abelian orbifolds of the SO(32) heterotic string
Miguel Hernandez-Segura, Saul Ramos-Sanchez
Non-Abelian toroidal heterotic orbifolds have received comparatively little attention, mainly because of the significant computational challenges they pose, even at the level of co…
The Non-SUSY Orbifolder: a tool to build promising non-supersymmetric string models
Enrique Escalante-Notario, Ricardo Perez-Martinez, Saul Ramos-Sanchez +1
We introduce the non-SUSY orbifolder, which is a program developed in C++ that computes the low-energy effective theory of non-supersymmetric heterotic orbifold compactifications.…
Multiple realizations of modular flavor symmetries and their phenomenology
Carlos Arriaga-Osante, Mu-Chun Chen, Ramon Diaz-Castro +4
We point out that specifying the finite modular group does not uniquely fix a modular flavor symmetry. We illustrate this using the finite modular group . Otherwise equivalent…
Modular flavored dark matter
Alexander Baur, Mu-Chun Chen, V. Knapp-Perez +1
Discrete flavor symmetries have been an appealing approach for explaining the observed flavor structure, which is not justified in the Standard Model (SM). Typically, these models…
