Multi-spinor fields which behave as triple-tensor products of the Dirac spinors and form reducible representations of the Lorentz group describe three families of ordinary quarks and leptons in the visible sector and an additional family of exotic dark quarks and leptons in the dark sector of the Universe. Apart from the ordinary set of the gauge and Higgs fields in the visible sector, another set of gauge and Higgs fields belonging to the dark sector are assumed to exist. Two sectors possess channels of communication through gravity and a bi-quadratic interaction between the two types of Higgs fields. A candidate for the main component of the dark matter is a stable dark hadron with spin 3/2, and the upper limit of its mass is estimated to be 15.1 GeV/c$^2$.

We show that a universal texture zero in the (1,1) position of all fermionic mass matrices, including heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos driving a type-I see-saw mechanism, can lead to a viable spectrum of mass, mixing and CP violation for both quarks and leptons, including (but not limited to) three important postdictions: the Cabibbo angle, the charged lepton masses, and the leptonic `reactor angle. We model this texture zero with a non-Abelian discrete family symmetry that can easily be embedded in a grand unified framework, and discuss the details of the phenomenology after electroweak and family symmetry breaking. We provide an explicit numerical fit to the available data and obtain excellent agreement with the 18 observables in the charged fermion and neutrino sectors with just 9 free parameters. We further show that the vacua of our new scalar familon fields are readily aligned along desired directions in family space, and also demonstrate discrete gauge anomaly freedom at the relevant scale of our effective theory.
The weak bosons consist of two fermions, bound by a new confining gauge force. The mass scale of this new interaction is determined. At energies below 0.5 TeV the standard electroweak theory is valid. A neutral isoscalar weak boson X must exist - its mass is less than 1 TeV. It will decay mainly into quark and lepton pairs and into two or three weak bosons. Above the mass of 1 TeV one finds excitations of the weak bosons, which mainly decay into pairs of weak bosons. Leptons and quarks consist of a fermion and a scalar. Pairs of leptons and pairs of quarks form resonances at very high energy.
The non-Abelian discrete symmetry D(7) of the heptagon is successfully applied to both quark and lepton mass matrices, including CP violation.
We discuss the relation between the CP violation of the quark mixing and that of the lepton mixing by investigating a CP violating observable, the Jarlskog invariant, as well as the CP violating Dirac phase. The down-type quark mass matrix with three zeros is given in terms of the minimal number of parameters, while the up-type quark mass matrix is diagonal. These quark mass matrices leading to the successful CKM mixing angles and CP violation are embedded in both the Pati--Salam and SU(5) models. The leptonic Jarlskog invariant $J_{CP}^l$ (as well as CP violating Dirac phase) is examined for two cases: the neutrino mass matrix is diagonal or non-diagonal, where no additional CP violating phase is introduced apart from the Majorana phases. In the case of the diagonal neutrino mass matrix, the favorable sign of the leptonic CP violation is obtained, however, the magnitude of $J_{CP}^l$ is at most ${cal O}(10^{-4})$, which is too small compared with the expected value from the observation $-0.02$. In the case of the non-diagonal neutrino mass matrix where the tri-bimaximal mixing pattern is taken, we obtain the successful $J_{CP}^l$ up to its sign.
We show how the scales responsible for Peccei-Quinn (PQ), seesaw, and Froggatt and Nielsen (FN) mechanisms can be fixed, by constructing a compact model for resolving rather recent, but fast-growing issues in astro-particle physics, including quark and leptonic mixings and CP violations, high-energy neutrinos, QCD axion, and axion cooling of stars. The model is motivated by the flavored PQ symmetry for unifying the flavor physics and string theory. The QCD axion decay constant congruent to the seesaw scale, through its connection to the astro-particle constraints of both the stellar evolution induced by the flavored-axion bremsstrahlung off electrons $e+Zerightarrow Ze+e+A_i$ and the rare flavor-changing decay process induced by the flavored-axion $K^+rightarrowpi^++A_i$, is shown to be fixed at $F_A=3.56^{+0.84}_{-0.84}times10^{10}$ GeV (consequently, the QCD axion mass $m_a=1.54^{+0.48}_{-0.29}times10^{-4}$ eV, Compton wavelength of its oscillation $lambda_a=8.04^{+1.90}_{-1.90},{rm mm}$, and axion to neutron coupling $g_{Ann}=2.14^{+0.66}_{-0.41}times10^{-12}$, etc.). Subsequently, the scale associated to FN mechanism is dynamically fixed through its connection to the standard model fermion masses and mixings, $Lambda=2.04^{,+0.48}_{,-0.48}times10^{11},{rm GeV}$, and such fundamental scale might give a hint where some string moduli are stabilized in type-IIB string vacua. In the near future, the NA62 experiment expected to reach the sensitivity of ${rm Br}(K^+rightarrowpi^++A_i)<1.0times10^{-12}$ will probe the flavored-axions or exclude the model, if the astrophysical constraint of star cooling is really responsible for the flavored-axion.
