Introduction to Family Symmetry
G.Ross et al
![Page 3: Family Symmetry Solution to the SUSY Flavour and CP Problems Plan of talk: I.Family Symmetry II.Solving SUSY Flavour and CP Problems Work with and Michal.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c49cfa/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
•To account for the fermion mass hierarchies we introduce a spontaneously broken family symmetry
•It must be spontaneously broken since we do not observe massless gauge bosons which mediate family transitions
•The Higgs which break family symmetry are called flavons
•The flavon VEVs introduce an expansion parameter = < >/M where M is a high energy mass scale
•The idea is to use the expansion parameter to derive fermion textures by the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism (see later)
In SM the largest family symmetry possible is the symmetry of the kinetic terms

In SO(10) , = 16, so the family largest symmetry is U(3)
Candidate continuous symmetries are U(1), SU(2), SU(3) etc
If these are gauged and broken at high energies then no direct low energy signatures

Simplest example is U(1) family symmetry spontaneously broken by a flavon vev
For D-flatness we use a pair of flavons with opposite U(1) charges

Example: U(1) charges as Q (3 )=0, Q (2 )=1, Q (1 )=3, Q(H)=0, Q( )=-1,Q()=1

Gauged SU(3) family symmetry
Now suppose that the fermions are triplets of SU(3) i = 3
i.e. each SM multiplet transforms as a triplet under a gauged SU(3)

The family symmetry is spontanously broken by antitriplet flavons
Unlike the U(1) case, the flavon VEVs can have non-trivial vacuum alignments.
We shall need flavons with vacuum alignments:
3>/ (0,0,1) and <23>/ (0,1,1) in family space (up to phases)
so that we generate the desired Yukawa textures from Froggatt-Nielsen:

An old observation: SU(3) family symmetry predicts universal soft mass matrices in the symmetry limit
However Yukawa matrices and trilinear soft masses vanish in the SU(3) symmetry limit
So we must consider the real world where SU(3) is broken by flavons

• Postulate CP conservation (e.g. real) with CP is spontaneously broken by flavon vevs
• This is natural since in the SU(3) limit the Yukawas and trilinears are zero in any case
• So to study CP violation we must consider SU(3) breaking effects in the trilinear soft masses as we did for the scalar soft masses

Conclusions• SU(3) gauged family symmetry, when spontaneously
broken by particular flavon vevs, provides an explanation of tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing
• When combined with SUSY it gives approx. universal squark and slepton masses, suppressing SUSY FCNCs
• It also suppresses SUSY contributions to EDMs by an extra order of magnitude compared to mSUGRA or CMSSM remaining phase must be <0.1
• Maybe SUGRA can help with this remaining 10% tuning
