Flavor States of the Knot Model

TL;DR

This paper explores the flavor states within the knot model, relating them to known mixing matrices, and introduces a knot-based parameterization of the CKM matrix, suggesting a substructure of the standard model.

Contribution

It introduces a novel knot model framework for flavor states and provides a new parameterization of the CKM matrix based on knot theory.

Findings

Flavor states are eigenstates of absorption-emission operators.

Knot model offers a possible substructure of the standard model.

Includes a knot parameterization of the CKM matrix.

Abstract

We discuss flavor states of the knot model and their relation to the KM and the PMNS matrices. These states are eigenstates of absorption-emission operators and are analogous to the coherent states of the Maxwell field. The underlying model has been proposed as a possible substructure of the standard model. We include a knot parameterization of the CKM matrix.
