Accidental Peccei–Quinn symmetry from discrete flavour symmetry and Pati–Salam

We show how an accidental U(1) Peccei–Quinn (PQ) symmetry can arise from a discrete A4 family symmetry combined with a discrete flavour symmetry Z3×Z52, in a realistic Pati–Salam unified theory of flavour. Imposing only these discrete flavour symmetries, the axion solution to the strong CP problem i...
