Flavor structure from `canonical' Yukawa interactions and `emergent' kinetic terms

Abstract

We study the flavor structure of quarks in the standard model from a viewpoint of a canonical type of Yukawa interactions and an emergence of kinetic terms. A realistic structure can be generated based on the emergence proposal that quark kinetic terms appear in the infra-red region, as a result of radiative corrections involving towers of massive states.
