Quark and lepton masses from deconstruction Original Research Article

We propose a supersymmetric image model, where the quarks and leptons live in a image product group theory space that is compactified on the real projective plane image. The fermion generations are placed on different points in the deconstructed manifold by assigning them image compatible image charges. The observed masses and mixing angles of quarks and leptons emerge from non-renormalizable operators involving the chiral link fields. The link fields introduce a large atmospheric neutrino mixing angle image via a dynamical realization of the seesaw mechanism, which sets the deconstruction scale to a value of the order the usual image breaking scale ∼1014 GeV. Supersymmetry breaking can be achieved through topological effects due to a nontrivial first homology group image. The mixed anomalies of the link fields are canceled by Wess–Zumino terms, which are local polynomials in the gauge and link fields only. We also comment on the construction of Chern–Simons couplings from these fields.
