To adjust the model to reality, some rigorous assumptions will be removed in this section. For example, capital gains taxation will be integrated. One major focus to make our model more realistic is to introduce limited loss offset rules. Moreover, further adjustments to meet current law are discussed. After reading this chapter, you are able to evaluate investment alternatives by adjusting the “Standard Model” to basic tax law details applied in your home country.

Its mod 13 arithmetic distinguishes each Yukawa matrix element of the texture. We construct a model of effective interactions that singles out the asymmetry and equates, without finetuning, the products of down-quark and charged-lepton masses at a GUT-like scale.

It may be generated by mapping the top quark hierarchy onto the vacuum values of familon fields transforming under the family group PSL2(7). We next investigate the hypothesis that these familons play a dual role, generating a hierarchy in the supersymmetric µ-mass matrix of Higgses carrying family quantum numbers. A special PSL2(7) invariant coupling produces a µ-matrix with a hierarchy of thirteen orders of magnitude. Only one Higgs field (per hypercharge sector) is light enough (with a µ-mass ∼ 10 − 100 GeV) to be destabilized by SUSY soft breaking at the TeV scale, and upon spontaneous symmetry breaking, gives tree-level masses for the heaviest family.

As an example,~ L can represent a lefthanded neutrino and ap~ L* a right-handed antineutrino. Contrast this situation with that of an electron which is respresented by both e L and eR; e L is the weak interaction eigenstate, but since the electron has mass it no longer corresponds to a definite helicity state but rather to a handedness.

We regularize the infinity by zeta-function regularization and recover the conformal and superconformal anomalies respectively for a specific choice of the torsion.
