Fermion masses and proton decay in string-inspired SU(4)*SU(2)2*U(1)X
Abstract
We present a supersymmetric model of fermion masses with SU(4)*SU(2)2*U(1)X gauge group with matter in fundamental and antisymmetric tensor representations only. The up, down, charged lepton and neutrino Yukawa matrices are distinguished by different Clebsch-Gordan coefficients due to contracting over SU(4) and SU(2)R indices. We obtain a hierarchical light neutrino mass spectrum with bi-large mixing. The condition that anomalies be cancelled by a Green-Schwarz mechanism leads to fractional U(1)X charges which exclude B violation through dimension-4 and -5 operators.
