Description
We present a flavor gauge model based on $O(3)_L \times O(3)_R$ gauge symmetry, a maximal anomaly-free subgroup of the standard model flavor symmetry. In this model the fermion mass hierarchy has a dynamical origin. The model provides a UV complete realization of the Minimal Flavor Violation Hypothesis. Implications for quark sector and lepton sector flavor violation arising through higher dimensional effective operators involving the Higgs field are outlined. CP violation arising from these operators is also studied. Vector-like fermions responsible for the generation of the top quark, bottom quark, and the tau lepton masses are in the TeV range, and potentially within reach of the LHC.
