Quartification with T' Flavor

TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel quiver gauge theory model combining T' flavor symmetry with unification principles, predicting new particles at the TeV scale and explaining fermion mixing angles.

Contribution

It presents a non-quiver unified model with T' flavor symmetry that predicts new gauge bosons and fermions, and explains fermion mixing angles separately for neutrinos and quarks.

Findings

Predicts additional gauge bosons at TeV scale

Forecasts bifundamental fermions at TeV scale

Separately predicts neutrino and quark mixing angles

Abstract

In the simplest (non-quiver) unified theories, fermion families are often treated sequentially and a flavor symmetry may act similarly. As an alternative with non-sequential flavor symmetry, we consider a model based on the group (T'*Z_2)_global * [SU(3)^4]_local which combines the predictions of T' flavor symmetry with the features of a unified quiver gauge theory. The model accommodates the relationships between mixing angles separately for neutrinos, and for quarks, which have been previously predicted with T'. This quiver unification theory makes predictions of several additional gauge bosons and bifundamental fermions at the TeV scale.
