Title: Flavor hierarchy from smooth confinement & Towards a complete classification of 6d supergravities

Abstract: The talk consists of two independent parts. In the first part, I will talk about a new model to explain the Standard Model flavor hierarchy. Our model is based on explicit smooth confinement. The smallness of the first- and second-family fermion masses is explained by the exponential hierarchy via dimensional transmutation. In the second part, I will talk about a classification of 6D supergravities. We make progress towards a complete classification of 6D supergravities with minimal supersymmetry and non-abelian gauge group.
