Theory connects flavor hierarchy to early Universe vacuum variations, suggesting new insights into particle physics.
The Oasis Theory of Flavor Hierarchy proposes that Yukawa couplings are not fundamental constants, but fossilized imprints of a primordial non-homogeneous phase of the early Universe. Within this framework, the observed flavor hierarchy emerges from spatial variations in vacuum properties during the electroweak epoch, leaving a permanent imprint on elementary particles. The work presents a unified conceptual approach to the flavor puzzle, connecting particle masses, Yukawa couplings, and cosmological evolution without introducing new particles or additional dimensions.
