Contribution
It introduces a novel progressive gauge U(1) symmetry model connected to electroweak symmetry breaking, expanding beyond the standard model.
Findings
Suggests a new symmetry framework for fermion masses
Discusses phenomenological implications of the model
Connects symmetry breaking pattern to fermion mass hierarchy
Abstract
The pattern of quark and lepton mass matrices is unexplained in the standard model of particle interactions. I propose the novel idea of a progressive gauge U(1) symmetry where it is a reflection of the regressive electroweak symmetry breaking pattern, caused by an extended Higgs scalar sector. Phenomenological implications of this new hypothesis are discussed.
