Hierarchical quark and lepton masses in grand unified theories

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

A general scheme by which fermions in grand unified theories may acquire radiative hierarchical masses is suggested. The observed hierarchy of fermion masses (≈10−3–102 GeV) appears as a direct reflection of the physics taking place in the 1014–1019 GeV energy range. ASU (10) example is shown in which quark and leptons acquire their masses by means of radiative graphs.
