Flavour from Fractal Mass Chains
read the original abstract
We explore the possibility that the underlying flavour structure of the Standard Model could be determined by mass chains on a fractal geometry. We consider, as an example, the theory space on a Sierpinski-like geometry. The fermion mass chains on a Sierpinski-like geometry with three decorations (iterations) lead to three zero modes, which can be identified with the three generations of the Standard Model. This framework also reproduces the measured charged and neutral lepton masses and mixing angles with very few parameters. We also briefly discuss the possible extension to the quark sector.

Graph-theoretic determination of massless modes in latticized theory-space models
The number of massless fermion modes in latticized theory-space models equals the cardinality of the maximum matching in the bipartite graph of mass terms, with support given by the Dulmage-Mendelsohn decomposition.
