Three fermionic generations on a topological defect in extra dimensions

Abstract: We suggest a mechanism explaining the origin of three generations of the Standard Model fermions from one generation in a higher-dimensional theory.Four-dimensional fermions appear as zero modes trapped in the core of a topological defect with topological number three. We discuss hierarchical pattern of masses and mixings which arises in these models.

“…[1] for a review). In particular, in the frameworks of "large extra dimensions" [2], the models have been suggested [3,4] and studied [5,6] where three generations of the Standard Model fermions appear as three zero modes localized in the four-dimensional core of a defect with topological number three. When both fermions and Higgs boson are localized on the brane, the overlaps of their wave functions may result in a hierarchical pattern of fermion masses and mixings [7].…”
