Abstract

In flavor models the vacuum alignment of flavons is typically achieved via the F-terms of certain fields in the supersymmetric limit. We propose a method for preserving such alignments, up to a rescaling of the vacuum expectation values, even after supersymmetry (and the flavor symmetry) are softly broken, facilitating the vacuum alignment in models which are non-supersymmetric at low energies. Examples of models with different flavor groups, namely A₄, T₇, S₄ and Δ(27), are discussed.
