Among its many distinguishing features which lead to the above results are (i) the vacuum is degenerate under a global su(3) symmetry which plays the role of fermion generations, (ii) the fermion mass matrix is {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}universal,{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} rank-one and rotates (changes its orientation in generation space) with changing scale mu, (iii) the metric in generation space is scale-dependent too, and in general nonflat, (iv) the theta-angle term in the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) action of topological origin gets transformed into the CP-violating phase of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix for quarks, thus offering at the same time a solution to the strong CP problem.", optnote="WOS:000305621900002", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1061), last updated on Thu, 12 Jul 2012 10:45:23 +0000", issn="0217-751x", doi="10.1142/S0217751X1250087X", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1111.5591", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1142/S0217751X1250087X", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1111.5591", language="English" }
