Description

In this talk, I will describe minimal DFSZ models extended with two right-handed neutrinos to realize the minimal type-I seesaw mechanism. The models incorporate flavored U(1) PQ symmetries that account for the observed pattern of quark and lepton masses and mixings. I will discuss the resulting phenomenology, including axion dark matter and cosmology, axion couplings to photons and fermions, highlighting the implications for flavor-violating axion interactions.
