Fermion Families from Two Layer Warped Extra Dimensions
In extra dimensions, the quark and lepton mass hierarchy can be reproduced
from the same order bulk mass parameters, and standard model fermion families
can be generated from one generation in the high dimensional space. We try to
explain the origin of the same order bulk mass parameters and address the
family replication puzzle simultaneously. We show that they correlate with each
other. We construct models that families are generated from extra dimensional
space, and in the meantime the bulk mass parameters of same order emerge
naturally. The interesting point is that the bulk mass parameters, which are in
same order, correspond to the eigenvalues of a Schr\"{o}dinger-like equation.
We also discuss the problem existing in this approach.Comment: 21 latex pages, final version to appear in JHE
A Model of Fermion Masses and Mixings Triggered by Family Problem in Warped Extra Dimensions
We suggest a model which addresses both the fermion mass hierarchy problem
and the family problem in two-layer warped extra dimensions. In this model, 3
family fermions in 4 dimensions (4D) generate from 1 family in two-layer warped
6D by two step Kluza-Klein decompositions. The mass hierarchies are produced by
the exponential behavior of 4D fermion zero mode profiles. The mixings and
masses of fermions are closely related to the family problem. By adjusting
parameters in this model, the numerical results can be very close to the
experimental data both in the quark sector and in the lepton sector. In the
lepton sector, we suppose neutrinos to be Dirac ones. The neutrino masses of
sub- scale are obtained, and also CP violation emerges in the
lepton sector.Comment: 49 latex pages, 1 figure, final version in journal publicatio
