Description

The understanding of flavor and the strong CP problem could be closely related. Motivated by the idea of Comprehensive Unification of elementary particle forces and families, we propose a minimal SO(3) flavor extension of the of the Standard Model which accounts for the observed fermion mass hierarchies, and provides a dynamical understanding of quark mixing and CP violation.
