Abstract
Author(s): Ivo de Medeiros Varzielas, Thomas Neder, and Ye-Ling Zhou Flavor models typically rely on flavons—scalars that break the family symmetry by acquiring vacuum expectation values in specific directions. We develop the idea of effective alignments, i.e., cases where the contractions of multiple flavons give rise to directions that are hard or impossible to obt... [Phys. Rev.
