    Quantum Spacetime Pictures and Dynamics from a Relativity Perspective

    Full text link
    Based on an identified quantum relativity symmetry the contraction of which gives the Newtonian approximation of Galilean relativity, a quantum model of the physical space can be formulated with the Newtonian space seen in a way as the classical approximation. Matching picture for the observable algebra as the corresponding representation of the group C* -algebra, describes the full dynamical pictures equally successfully. Extension of the scheme to a Lorentz covariant setting and beyond will also be addressed.The formulation of quantum mechanics allows the theory to be seen in a new picture in line with the notion of a noncommutative spacetime.Comment: For submission to Proc. of 10th Meeting of Balkan Physics Union, Sofia, Bulgari

    Neutrino Masses and Beyond from Supersymmetry

    Full text link
    A generic form of the supersymmetric SM naturally gives rise to the lepton number violating neutrino masses and mixings, without the need for extra superfields beyond the minimal spectrum. Hence, SUSY can be consider the origin of beyond SM properties of neutrinos. We have developed a formulation under which one can efficiently analyze the model. Various sources of neutrino masses are discussed in details. Such mass contributions come from lepton number and flavor violating couplings that also give rise to a rich phenomenology of the neutrinos and other leptons, to be discussed.Comment: +8 latex pages with ws-procs9x6.cls (included); talk at NOON 200

    The Light, the Heavy and the Superheavy --- a Nonabelian Flavor Symmetry for the Full Hierarchy

    We give a preliminary report of a new quark mass matrix model basing on a SU(5)⊗SU(5)⊗Q12SU(5)\otimes SU(5)\otimes Q_{12} symmetry embedding into a fully gauged SU(5)⊗SU(5)⊗SU(2)SU(5)\otimes SU(5)\otimes SU(2).~\cite{fk} The two SU(5)SU(5)'s contain the standard SUSY SU(5)SU(5) as a diagonal subgroup, while the Q12Q_{12} or SU(2)SU(2) is horizontal. Starting by assuming a judiciously-chosen set of chiral supermultiplets, and a pattern of spontaneous symmetry breaking, we obtain the low-energy chiral fermions together with a spectrum of superheavy fermions at two different scales. The latter mediate Froggatt-Nielsen tree graphs that give rise to a phenomenologically viable effective quark mass matrix texture. The model is the first example of a nontrivial combination of supersymmetry without R-parity, gauged nonabelian horizontal symmetry and unification/anti-unification. It is expected to have some very interesting features in SUSY-GUT phenomenology.Comment: missing title page restore
