Spontaneously broken, flavour-dependent, gauged $U(1)$ extensions of the Standard Model (SM) have many phenomenological uses. We chart the space of solutions to the gauge anomaly cancellation equations in such extensions, for both the SM chiral fermion content and the SM plus (up to) three right-handed neutrinos (SM$ u_R$). Methods from Diophantine analysis allow us to efficiently index the solutions arithmetically, and produce the complete solution space in particular cases. In order to solve the general case, we build a computer program which cycles through possible $U(1)$ charge assignments, providing all solutions for charges up to some pre-defined maximum absolute charge. Lists of anomaly-free $U(1)$ charge assignments result, which corroborate the results of our Diophantine analysis. We make these lists, which may be queried for further desirable properties, publicly available. This previously uncharted space of anomaly-free charge assignments has been little explored until now, paving the way for future model building and phenomenological studies.
Extensions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) gauge group abound in the literature. Several of these include an additional $U(1)_X$ gauge group. Chiral fermions charge assignments under $U(1)_X$ are constrained to cancel local anomal
We investigate asymptotically safe extensions of the Standard Model with new matter fields arising in the TeV energy range. The new sector contains singlet scalars and vector-like fermions in representations which permit Yukawa interactions with the
The question of whether classically conformal modifications of the standard model are consistent with experimental obervations has recently been subject to renewed interest. The method of Gildener and Weinberg provides a natural framework for the stu
We propose a one-loop induced radiative neutrino mass model with anomaly free flavour dependent gauge symmetry: $mu$ minus $tau$ symmetry $U(1)_{mu-tau}$. A neutrino mass matrix satisfying current experimental data can be obtained by introducing a we
In this thesis we study some theoretical and phenomenological aspects of classical conformal symmetry in specific extensions of the SM. We consider both supersymmetric and non supersymmetric cases. We discuss the perturbative structure of the superco
