Abstract

We present an S4S_4 flavor model to unify quarks and leptons in the framework of the SU(5) GUT. Three generations of 5ˉ\bar 5-plets in SU(5) are assigned 313_1 of S4S_4 while the first and the second generations of 10-plets in SU(5) are assigned to be 2 of S4S_4, and the third generation of 10-plet is to be 111_1 of S4S_4. Right-handed neutrinos are also assigned 2 for the first and second generations and 111_1 for the third generation, respectively. Taking vacuum alignments of relevant gauge singlet scalars, we predict the quark mixing as well as the tri-bimaximal mixing of neutrino flavors. Especially, the Cabbibo angle is predicted to be 1515^{\circ} in the limit of the vacuum alignment. We can improve the model to predict observed CKM mixing angles.
