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…
Flavor Symmetries and Winding Modes
Xueqi Li, Xiang-Gan Liu, Hans Peter Nilles +2
Modular flavor symmetries have been proposed as a new way to address the flavor problem. It is known that they can emerge from string compactifications. We discuss this connection…
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…
The Flavor Puzzle: Textures and Symmetries
Hans Peter Nilles, Saul Ramos-Sanchez
We discuss aspects of a promising top-down origin of flavor symmetries in particle physics. Modular transformations originating from string theory dualities are shown to play a cru…
Matter matters in moduli fixing and modular flavor symmetries
Victor Knapp-Perez, Xiang-Gan Liu, Hans Peter Nilles +2
Modular flavor symmetries provide us with a very compelling approach to the flavor problem. It has been argued that moduli values close to some special values like or p…
The first string-derived eclectic flavor model with realistic phenomenology
Alexander Baur, Hans Peter Nilles, Saul Ramos-Sanchez +2
Eclectic flavor groups arising from string compactifications combine the power of modular and traditional flavor symmetries to address the flavor puzzle. This top-down scheme deter…
