Exploring variations in the gauge sector of a six-dimensional flavour model

TL;DR

This paper investigates the diversity of gauge sectors in six-dimensional flavor models, arguing that despite many variations, the core phenomenology remains largely unaffected, thus providing insights into model robustness.

Contribution

It offers a qualitative analysis of the gauge sector variations in six-dimensional flavor models, highlighting their limited impact on phenomenology.

Findings

Gauge sector variations are numerous but do not significantly alter phenomenology.

The model explains mass and mixing hierarchies using a single family of multidimensional fermions.

Variations in the gauge sector are qualitatively analyzed, showing robustness of phenomenological predictions.

Abstract

We address the question, how general is the gauge sector in extra-dimensional models which explain hierarchies of masses and mixings of quarks, charged leptons and neutrinos in terms of a single family of multidimensional fermions. We give qualitative arguments that though there are a plethora of possible variations, they do not result in drastical changes of phenomenology.
