| Abstract | |
The Standard Model of elementary particles describes the electroweak and strong interactions, and its predictions have successfully matched existing experimental data. However, there are some issues that are not addressed by this model, such as the gauge hierarchy problem and the origin of fermion masses. Both problems can be solved naturally using Warped Extra Dimensions. On the other hand, these theories are flavor-violating in tree level and are non-renormalizable. In this dissertation we apply dimensional deconstruction techniques to solve the gauge hierarchy problem and the fermion masses hierarchy problem achieving minimal flavor violation in a purely four-dimensional model (AU) | |
