Cosmology of spontaneously broken gauge family symmetry with axion solution of strong CP-problem

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

TheSU(3) H model of spontaneously broken local family symmetry is considered as a simplest version of realistic quantum flavourdynamics, giving reasonable explanation of the mass hierarchy and mixing pattern of quarks and leptons. This scheme can naturally possess one or two additional globalU(1) symmetries, which can play the role of Peccei-Quinn symmetry. The model predicts: existence of the neutrino Majorana masses with definite hierarchy, existence of familon being simultaneously invisible axion (or arion) and Majoron, relationship between neutrino lifetimes relative to familon decays. Thereby, the model provides the unified physical ground for all the main types of dark matter, considered in the theory of large scale structure of the universe.
