Abstract

We propose a Grand Unified Theory of Flavour, based on SO(10)SO(10) together with a non-Abelian discrete group S4S_4, under which the unified three quark and lepton 16-plets are unified into a single triplet 33'. The model involves a further discrete group Z4R×Z43 \mathbb{Z}_4^R\times \mathbb{Z}_4^3 which controls the Higgs and flavon symmetry breaking sectors. The CSD2 flavon vacuum alignment is discussed, along with the GUT breaking potential and the doublet-triplet splitting, and proton decay is shown to be under control. The Yukawa matrices are derived in detail, from renormalisable diagrams, and neutrino masses emerge from the type I seesaw mechanism. A full numerical fit is performed with 15 input parameters generating 19 presently constrained observables, taking into account supersymmetry threshold corrections. The model predicts a normal neutrino mass ordering with a CP oscillation phase of 260260^{\circ}, an atmospheric angle in the first octant and neutrinoless double beta decay with mββ=11m_{\beta \beta}= 11 meV. We discuss N2N_2 leptogenesis, which fixes the second right-handed neutrino mass to be M22×1011M_2\simeq 2\times 10^{11} GeV, in the natural range predicted by the model.
