Abstract
In the simplest (nonquiver) unified theories, fermion families are often treated sequentially and a flavor symmetry may act similarly. As an alternative with nonsequential flavor symmetry, we consider a model based on the group (T′ ×Z2)global×[SU(3)4]local which combines the predictions of T′ flavor symmetry with the features of a unified quiver gauge theory. The model accommodates the relationships between mixing angles separately for neutrinos, and for quarks, which have been previously predicted with T′. This quiver unification theory makes predictions of several additional gauge bosons and bifundamental fermions at the TeV scale. © 2011 American Physical Society.
