A Simple Solution for the Flavor Question [PDF]
We consider a simple way for solving the flavor question by embedding the three-familiy Standard Model in a semisimple gauge group extending minimally the weak isospin factor. Quantum chiral anomalies between families of fermions cancel with a matching of the number of families and the number of color degrees of freedom. Our demonstration shows how the

Charged right-handed currents in the leptoquark-bilepton flavordynamics chiral models [PDF]
Flavordynamics chiral models of leptoquark fermions and bilepton gauge bosons with masses up to about 1 TeV, although coincident at low energy with the standard model, address the question of fermion mass hyerarchy and explain the flavor question. The presence of charged right-handed weak currents coupled to bileptons, which we point out herein, is ...

Determinants of FinTech Equity Funding Flows: Evidence From a Global Perspective
ABSTRACT This study explores the factors affecting FinTech (Financial technology startups) equity financing and deals. Traditional and alternative financing are currently progressing together; however, alternative financing remains underexplored. Using panel data from 57 countries in 2010 to 2020 and one‐step difference generalised method of moments ...

Charge quantization in the largest leptoquark-bilepton chiral electroweak scheme [PDF]
The uniqueness of the hypercharge assignments in the three fermion families leptoquark-bilepton $SU(3)_C \times SU(4)_L \times U(1)_N$ model is established. Although the gauge group contains an explicit U(1) factor, freedom from triangle anomalies combined with the requirement of nonvanishing charged fermion masses uniquely fix the electric charges of ...

ABSTRACT This study identifies six dynamic capabilities (DCs), which enable corporates' strategic change toward resilience in today's increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) business environment. In this context, pertinent research has proven DCs' conduciveness for corporates to enhance their levels of resilience.

The Polarized and Unpolarized Photon Content of the Nucleon [PDF]
The equivalent photon content of polarized and unpolarized nucleons (protons, neutrons), utilized in Weizs\"acker--Williams approximations, are presented. For this purpose a new expression for the elastic photon component of a polarized nucleon is derived.

Testing the Equivalent Photon Approximation of the Proton in the Process $e p\to νW X$ [PDF]
The accuracy of the equivalent photon approximation (EPA) of the proton in describing the inelastic process $ep\to \nu W X$ is investigated. In particular, the scale dependence of the corresponding inelastic photon distribution is discussed. Furthermore, an estimate of the total number of events, including the ones coming from the elastic and quasi ...
