Symmetries from outer automorphisms and unorthodox group extensions
Christian Döring, Andreas Trautner
Symmetries play an essential role in the construction and phenomenology of quantum field theories (QFTs). We discuss how to construct symmetries of QFTs by extending minimal "seed"…
Electroweak hierarchy from conformal and custodial symmetry
Thede de Boer, Manfred Lindner, Andreas Trautner
We present "Custodial Naturalness" as a new mechanism to explain the separation between the electroweak (EW) scale and the scale of potential ultraviolet completions of the Standar…
The eclectic flavor symmetries of orbifolds
Alexander Baur, Hans Peter Nilles, Saul Ramos-Sanchez +2
Only four orbifold building blocks are admissible in heterotic string compactifications. We investigate the flavor properties of all of these building b…
Can quantum statistics help distinguish Dirac from Majorana neutrinos?
Evgeny Akhmedov, Andreas Trautner
Finding out if neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana particles is known to be extremely difficult due to the smallness of neutrino mass and the fact that in the limit both Dirac…
