Dynamical fermion mass hierarchy and flavour mixing

  • Published:

Abstract

The chiral symmetry breaking of high colour representations produces dynamical breaking of the standard electroweak gauge symmetry. By enlarging the colour group and subsequently breaking it down toSU(3) c fermions acquire radiative masses from the chiral breaking. We present attempts to produce realistic fermion mass matrix in two classes of models depending on the way that the colour group is enlarged. A realistic example is found in one of these classes of models.
