The flavor-dependent model
Abstract
A flavor-dependent model (FDM) is proposed in this work. The model extends the Standard Model by an extra local gauge group, two scalar doublets, one scalar singlet and two right-handed neutrinos, where the additional charges are related to the particles’ flavor. The new fermion sector in the FDM can explain the flavor mixings puzzle and the mass hierarchy puzzle simultaneously, and the nonzero Majorana neutrino masses can be obtained naturally by the Type I see-saw mechanism. In addition, the meson rare decay processes , , the top quark rare decay processes , and the lepton flavor violation processes , , predicted in the FDM are analyzed.
I Introduction
The Standard Model (SM) achieves great success in describing the interactions of fundamental particles, and most of the observations coincide well with the SM predictions. However, the Yukawa couplings in the SM are still enigmatic, because the flavor mixings of quarks described by the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix Cabibbo:1963yz ; Kobayashi:1973fv are not predicted from first principles in the SM, which is the so-called flavor puzzle. And the fermions of the three families have largely distinct masses

It exhibits the large hierarchical structure of masses across the three families while they share common SM gauge group quantum numbers, which is the so-called mass hierarchy puzzle. Meanwhile, the nonzero neutrino masses and mixings observed at the neutrino oscillation experiments ParticleDataGroup:2022pth make the so-called flavor puzzle in the SM more acutely. All of these indicate that explaining the observed fermionic mass spectrum and mixings is one of the most enigmatic questions in particle physics, which may help understand the flavor nature and seek possible new physics (NP).
In literatures, there are some attempts to explain the fermionic mass hierarchies and flavor mixings. For example, the authors of Refs. Froggatt:1978nt ; Koide:1982ax ; Leurer:1992wg ; Ibanez:1994ig ; Babu:1995hr try to explain the fermionic flavor mixings by imposing the family symmetries, some proposals to explain the fermionic mass hierarchies can be found in Refs. Berezhiani:1990wn ; Berezhiani:1990jj ; Sakharov:1994pr ; Randall:1999ee ; Kaplan:2001ga ; Chen:2008tc ; Buras:2011ph ; King:2013eh ; King:2014nza ; King:2015aea ; King:2017guk ; Weinberg:2020zba ; Feruglio:2019ybq ; Abbas:2018lga ; Mohanta:2022seo ; Mohanta:2023soi ; Abbas:2022zfb . The three-Higgs doublet model is motivated to account for the flavor structure with three generations of fermions Weinberg:1976hu ; Lavoura:2007dw ; Ivanov:2012ry ; GonzalezFelipe:2013xok ; GonzalezFelipe:2013yhh ; Keus:2013hya ; Ivanov:2014doa ; Buskin:2021eig ; Izawa:2022viu , in which the number of Higgs doublets is three and has a flavor symmetry. A flavor-dependent extension of the SM is proposed in Ref. VanLoi:2023utt , the authors explained the small mixing at quark sector by introducing a NP cut-off scale parameter. Weinberg proposed a new mechanism in which only the third generation of quarks and leptons achieve the masses at the tree level, while the masses for the second and first generations are produced by one-loop and two-loop radiative corrections respectively Weinberg:2020zba . However, his analysis indicated that the ratios of the masses of the second and third generations fermions are independent of various masses of the third generation, i.e.
which is not true of observed masses as shown in Eq. (1). Hence, he pointed out in his work that “this kind of NP models are not realistic for some reasons” Weinberg:2020zba . In addition, Weinberg was the first to propose the Type I see-saw mechanism to give the tiny neutrino masses naturally Weinberg:1979sa , which provides one of the most popular mechanisms so far to give the tiny Majorana neutrino masses.
In this work, we adopt the Weinberg’s idea “only the third generation of fermions achieve the masses at the tree level”, but abandon “the masses for the second and first generations are produced by one-loop and two-loop radiative corrections respectively”. Instead, we propose to obtain the masses for the second and first generations by the “see-saw mechanism” (which is proposed by Weinberg to give the tiny Majorana neutrino masses as mentioned above), i.e. the masses for the second and first generations are produced by mixing with the third generation. In this case, the ratios of the masses of the second and third generations fermions depend on the tree-level mixing parameters of fermions, and we propose a flavor-dependent model (FDM) to realize this mechanism. The model extends the SM by an extra local gauge group which relates to the particles’ flavor, two scalar doublets, one scalar singlet and two right-handed neutrinos. The new fermion sector in the FDM relates the fermionic flavor mixings to the fermionic mass hierarchies, which provides a new understanding about the mass hierarchy puzzle and the flavor mixing puzzle. In addition, the nonzero neutrino masses can be obtained naturally in the FDM by the Type I see-saw mechanism.
The paper is organized as follows: The structure of the FDM including particle content, scalar sector, fermion masses and gauge sector are collected in Sec. II. The numerical results of CKM matrix and Higgs masses predicted in the FDM are presented in Sec. III. The processes mediated by the flavor changed neutral currents (FCNCs) in the FDM are analyzed in Sec. IV. The summary is made in Sec. V.

The gauge group of the FDM is , where the extra local gauge group is related to the particles’ flavor. In the FDM, the third generation of fermions obtain masses through the tree-level couplings with the SM scalar doublet, and the first two generations of fermions achieve masses through the tree-level mixings with the third generation as mentioned above. Hence, two additional scalar doublets are introduced in the FDM to realize the tree-level mixings of the first two generations and the third generation. In addition, to coincide with the observed neutrino oscillations, two right-handed neutrinos and one scalar singlet are introduced. Then the right-handed neutrinos obtain large Majorana masses after the scalar singlet achieving large vacuum expectation value (VEV), and the tiny neutrino masses and neutrino flavor mixings can be obtained by the Type I see-saw mechanism.
All fields in the FDM and the corresponding gauge symmetry charges are presented in Tab. 1, where corresponds to the SM Higgs doublet, the nonzero constant denotes the extra charge. It can be noted in Tab. 1 that there are only two generations of right-handed neutrinos in the FDM, because both and charges of the third generation of right-handed neutrinos are zero, which is trivial. In addition, it is obvious that the chiral anomaly cancellation can be guaranteed for the fermionic charges presented in Tab. 1.

Based on the scalar potential in Eq. (2), the tadpole equations in the FDM can be written as444Calculating the exact vacuum stability conditions for any new physics model is difficult generally, and the obtained tadpole equations can be used to calculate the stationary points. In this case, we apply tadpole equations in the calculations, and guarantee the stability of vacuum numerically by keeping the scalar potential at the input are smaller than all the other stationary points.

The tadpole equations in Eq. (11) are used to obtain the matrix elements above.

It is easy to verify that there are two neutral Goldstones and one singly charged Goldstone in the FDM.
II.2 The fermion masses in the FDM
Based on the matter content listed in Tab. 1, the Yukawa couplings in the FDM can be written as

Then the mass matrices of quarks and leptons can be written as

III CKM matrix and Higgs masses in the FDM
The quark sector in the FDM are redefined and the additional two scalar doublets, one scalar singlet modify the scalar potential of the model, hence we focus on the quark sector and scalar sector of the model in this section.
III.1 CKM matrix
The analysis in our previous work Yang:2024kfs shows that the quark mass matrices obtained in the FDM can fit the measured CKM matrix well. In this work, we perform a test to explore the best fit describing the quark masses and CKM matrix in the model. Generally, the function can be constructed as

with , , . Then we obtain the best fit solution corresponding to , the results of this fit are listed in Tab. 2 where various we use are listed in the third column and are take from PDG ParticleDataGroup:2022pth .

with being the generation quark mass.
It is obvious that there are additional CP phases in the obtained CKM matrix by taking the parameters in Eq. (49) as inputs, but we do not list the observed CP phase in the CKM matrix in Tab. 2. Because the CKM matrix is defined as
(51) |
where , are the unitary matrices which diagonalize the quark matrices in Eq. (38)
(52) |
Eq. (52) is invariant under
(53) |
so there are six free parameters which can absorb the extra CP phases in the obtained CKM matrix, these parameters are not observable. As a result, the observed CP phase in the CKM matrix can be obtained by defining appropriate . This fact is always valid because there are also six possible CP violation parameters at the quark sector in the model.
III.2 Perturbative unitary bounds
The scalar sector of the FDM is extended by two scalar doublets and one scalar singlet, additional new couplings are also introduced correspondingly. Therefore, the tree-level perturbative unitary should be applied to the scalar elastic scattering processes in this model Lee:1977eg . The zero partial wave amplitude

must satisfy the condition , where is the centre of mass (CM) energy, denotes the matrix element for processes, is the incident angle between two incoming particles, and are the initial and final momenta in the CM system respectively.
The possible two particle states of scattering processes at the scalar sector in the FDM are , , , , , , , , , . Considering the limit , we have

III.3 Higgs masses in the FDM
For the free parameters in the scalar sector of the FDM, we take , , , and all parameters to be real for simplicity. In addition, is limited by the new boson mass as shown in Eq. (45), hence we take in the following analysis. Considering the perturbative unitary bounds presented in Eq. (56), we scan the following parameter space
(57) |
to explore the Higgs mass spectrum in the FDM. In the scanning, we keep the next-to-lightest CP-even Higgs mass in the range and the scalar potential at the input are smaller than all the other stationary points to guarantee the stability of vacuum.
III.3.1 CP-even Higgs masses



The results of CP-even Higgs masses versus , versus , versus are plotted in Fig. 1 (a), Fig. 1 (b), Fig. 1 (c) respectively. We do not present the results of the next-to-lightest CP-even Higgs mass in Fig. 1 because is limited in the range in the plotting. Fig. 1 (a) shows that the lightest Higgs mass in the FDM mainly depends on the chosen value of , and can reach for which will be explored in detail in our next work. As shown in Fig. 1 (b) and (c), , are dominated by , , where is about for large while is about for large .


As mentioned above, corresponds to the SM Higgs doublet, hence may affect the Higgs boson mass significantly. In addition, Eq. (17) shows that there are large mixing effects between and , it indicates , can also affect . And to verify numerically that is mainly affected by , , , we take to explore the effects of , , on . Then versus , are plotted in Fig. 2 (a) and Fig. 2 (b) respectively, where the solid, dashed, dotted curves denotes the results for respectively, and the gray areas denote the range . The picture shows increases with increasing , and decreases with increasing , and , , affect the theoretical predictions on significantly.

There are two physical CP-odd Higgs in the FDM, and the results of CP-odd Higgs masses versus , versus , versus are plotted in Fig. 3 (a), Fig. 3 (b), Fig. 3 (c) respectively. It is obvious in Fig. 3 (a) that is dominated by the value of completely, and increases with increasing . In addition, is dominated by , as shown in Fig. 3 (b) and Fig. 3 (c), where can be large when and are large.
III.3.3 Charged Higgs masses



Similar to the case of CP-odd Higgs, there are also two physical charged Higgs in the FDM. The results of charged Higgs masses versus , versus , versus are plotted in Fig. 4 (a), Fig. 4 (b), Fig. 4 (c) respectively. Fig. 4 (a) indicates that is mainly affected by , but the other scanning parameter can also influence the predicted especially for small . Similar to the case of , Fig. 4 (b) and Fig. 4 (c) show that is also dominated by , .
IV The flavor changed neutral currents in the FDM
As shown in Eq. (29), the different generations of fermions couple to different Higgs bosons while corresponding to the SM-like Higgs, which are quite different from the ones in the SM. In addition, the new defined and gauge bosons can also mediate the FCNCs. Hence, observing the FCNCs in the FDM may be effective to test the model. In this section, we focus on the meson rare decay processes , , the top quark rare decay processes , and the charged lepton flavor violation processes , , predicted in the FDM. And for simplicity, we take the nonzero charge in the following analysis.

For the parameters not shown in Fig. 5 such as , they affect the predicted and mildly. The results presented in Fig. 5 (a) indicate that is correlated strongly to because both of them mainly depend on as shown in Fig. 3 (a) and Fig. 4 (a). Eq. (39) and Eq. (40) show that the Yukawa couplings increase with decreasing , i.e. the scalars in the FDM can make significant contributions to the meson rare decay processes , for small , which leads to the experimental observations of and prefer large , and Fig. 5 (b) shows that is limited in the range .
IV.2 top quark rare decay processes and
The branching ratios of the top quark rare decay processes and can be written as YANG2018
(60) |
where , the amplitude can be read directly from the Yukawa couplings in Eq. (29), and GeV ParticleDataGroup:2022pth is the total decay width of top quark. The measured quark masses, CKM matrix and meson rare decay processes , should be considered in the calculations of top quark rare decay processes and , hence we take the points obtained in Fig. 5 as inputs.



Then we plot the results of versus in Fig. 6 (a), versus in Fig. 6 (b), and versus in Fig. 6 (c). The red and blue lines in Fig. 6 denote the upper bounds on and from Particle Data Group ParticleDataGroup:2022pth respectively. The picture illustrates that the results of , obtained in the FDM can be large, which indicates that the processes , have great opportunities to be observed experimentally. In addition, the parameter space of the model suffers constraints from the experimental upper bounds on and .
IV.3 Lepton flavor violation processes , and

The coefficients from the contributions of Higgs bosons and gauge bosons, can be obtained through the Yukawa couplings in Eq. (29) and the definition of covariant derivative in Eq. (43). Then we can calculate the decay rate Hisano:1995cp

The total decay widthes of are taken as GeV, GeV ParticleDataGroup:2022pth .
Scanning the free parameter space in Eq. (57), Eq. (59) and

we plot the results of versus , versus , versus in Fig. 7 (a), (b), (c) respectively by keeping in the range and , , , then the allowed ranges of , , are plotted in Fig. 7 (d), (e), (f) respectively. The gray points in Fig. 7 are excluded by the present limits, and the green points denote the results which can reach future experimental sensitivities, where the present limits and future sensitivities for the branching ratios of these LFV processes are listed in Tab. 4.






Branching ratios | Present limit | Future sensitivity |

Fig. 7 (a), (b), (c) show that the experimental upper bounds on , limit the parameter space strictly while the predicted is less than about which is hard to be observed in near future. In addition, the model predicts , , which indicates observing the LFV processes and is also effective to test the FDM. It is obvious in Fig. 7 (d) that the experimental upper bounds on the branching ratios of these LFV processes limit , . Fig. 7 (e) indicates experimental constraints prefer and is excluded completely. From Fig. 7 (f), it can be seen explicitly that the allowed range of is related closely with the chosen value of and .
V Summary
Motivated by the hierarchical structure of fermionic masses puzzle and fermionic flavor mixings puzzle, we propose a flavor-dependent model (FDM) to relate these two puzzles, i.e. the proposed FDM can explain the flavor mixings puzzle and mass hierarchy puzzle simultaneously. The model extends the SM by an extra local gauge group, two scalar doublets, one scalar singlet and two right-handed neutrinos, where the new charges are related to the particles’ flavor. In the FDM, only the third generation of quarks and charged leptons achieve the masses at the tree level, the first two generations achieve masses through the mixings with the third generation, and the neutrinos obtain tiny Majorana masses through the so-called Type I see-saw mechanism. In addition, the meson rare decay processes , , the top quark rare decay processes , and the LFV processes , , predicted in the FDM are analyzed. It is found that observing the top quark rare decay processes , and the LFV decays , is effective to test the FDM, while LFV decay is hard to be observed experimentally. In addition, the model can fit the observed quark masses, CKM matrix, , well, and the VEVs of the two extra scalar doublets are limited to be larger than about , new gauge boson is heavier than about and gauge kinetic mixing constant is lager than by considering the experimental upper bounds on the branching ratios of LFV decays , .
