Hierarchical fermion masses in SU(5)

Rediative masses are generated for the first and the second fermion families by exploiting the idea that their chirality is a symmetry of the “low-energy” SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) approximation of SU(5), broken only by including the effects of superheavy particles. With only 5's of Higgs coupled to fermions and getting a non-zero vacuum expectation value, we unavoidably get (i) $\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>s</mtext>}}\text{=}\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{3}$ at the grand unification scale; (ii) the charm quark needing a direct mass as the third family; (iii) neutrino masses of size $\text{? (}\text{α}\text{π}\text{)}\text{M}{}_{\mathrm{W}}{}^2\text{M}$.
