SUSY SU(5) $\times S_{4}$ GUT Flavor Model for Fermion Masses and Mixings with Adjoint, Large $θ^{PMNS}_{13}$

Abstract

We propose an $S_{4}$ flavor model based on supersymmetric (SUSY) SU(5) GUT. The first and third generations of \textbf{10} dimensional representations in SU(5) are all assigned to be $1_{1}$ of $S_{4}$. The second generation of \textbf{10} is to be $1_{2}$ of $S_{4}$. Right-handed neutrinos of singlet \textbf{1} and three generations of $\bar{\textbf{5}}$ are all assigned to be $3_{1}$ of $S_{4}$. The VEVs of two sets of flavon fields are allowed a moderate hierarchy, that is $\langleΦ^ν\rangle \sim λ_{c}\langleΦ^{e}\rangle$. Tri-Bimaximal (TBM) mixing can be produced at both leading order (LO) and next to next to leading order (NNLO) in neutrino sector. All the masses of up-type quarks are obtained at LO. We also get the bottom-tau unification $m_τ=m_{b}$ and the popular Georgi-Jarlskog relation $m_μ=3m_{s}$ as well as a new mass relation $m_{e}=\frac{8}{27}m_{d}$ in which the novel Clebsch-Gordan (CG) factor arises from the adjoint field $H_{24}$. The GUT relation leads to a sizable mixing angle $θ^{e}_{12} \sim θ_{c}$ and the correct quark mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$ can also be realised in the model. The resulting CKM-like mixing matrix of charged leptons modifies the vanishing $θ^ν_{13}$ in TBM mixing to a large $θ^{PMNS}_{13}\simeqθ_{c}/\sqrt{2}$, in excellent agreement with experimental results. A Dirac CP violation phase $ϕ_{12}\simeq\pmπ/2$ is required to make the deviation from $θ^ν_{12}$ small. We also present some phenomenological numerical results predicted by the model.

Axionic Wormholes in Metric-Affine Gravity

The axion is a promising candidate for solving the strong CP problem. To solve this problem, the global U(1) symmetry must be preserved to a high degree of accuracy. However, it is well known that global symmetries are explicitly violated by quantum gravity effects, giving rise to what is referred to as the axion quality problem. In this paper, we investigate axionic wormholes as a source of explicit U(1) violation in Metric-Affine Gravity. This framework allows for spacetime torsion and non-metricity, which accommodate additional curvature-like and topological terms, such as the Holst and Nieh--Yan terms, that are absent from the metric and Palatini formalisms. We show that non-minimal couplings to these terms modify the wormhole dynamics and enhance the Euclidean wormhole action, thereby alleviating the axion quality problem. We also find that the viable parameter space is enlarged when two of these couplings are simultaneously present. We further identify representative parameter regions where the alleviation of the axion quality problem is compatible with inflationary constraints.

Qubit-Qutrit Quantum Tomography of hadronic $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{\ast 0}$ systems

Quantum-information observables have emerged in recent years as new tools in nuclear and particle physics, from entanglement in top-quark pairs to spin correlations in $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ production. Extending these studies to unequal-spin hadronic final states poses a fundamental challenge: the $6\times6$ density matrix of a qubit-qutrit system contains 35 independent spin parameters, but the decays of $\Lambda V$ pairs, with $V=\phi$ or $K^{*0}$, provide access to only 23 due to the hidden vector polarization from the strong decay. In this Letter, we formulate a qubit-qutrit quantum tomography (QQQT) technique for these spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}\otimes1$ systems and establish exact criteria for entanglement certification from the \textit{incomplete} density matrix. Compared with the $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ system, QQQT of $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{*0}$ provides a new probe of nonperturbative QCD hadronization, enabling a direct comparison of the spin evolution of entangled quark pairs produced from the vacuum as they hadronize into a baryon or a vector meson.

Twist decomposition of exclusive heavy meson production cross sections

We study the twist decomposition of the total cross sections for exclusive heavy vector meson electroproduction and photoproduction in the $\gamma^\ast p$ processes, within the leading logarithmic $1/x$ BFKL formalism. The Mellin transforms of the impact factors of the vector meson are calculated. We show that the higher twist contributions are strongly suppressed in the low-$x$ kinematical regime. Possible enhancement of the higher twists effects for nuclei targets is discussed.
