A left-right symmetric flavor symmetry model

Understand

We discuss flavor symmetries in left-right symmetric theories.

• We show that such frameworks are a different environment for flavor symmetry model building compared to the usually considered cases.
• This does not only concern the need to obey the enlarged gauge structure, but also more subtle issues with respect to residual symmetries.
• Furthermore, if the discrete left-right symmetry is charge conjugation, potential inconsistencies between the flavor and charge conjugation symmetries should be taken care of.
