Abstract

We consider an extended flipped SU(5) model, supplemented by a flavor U(1){\cal U}(1) symmetry, which yields bi-large neutrino mixings, charged fermion mass hierarchies and CKM mixings. The third leptonic mixing angle \te13\te_{13} turns out to lie close to 0.07, and neutrino CP violation can be estimated from the observed baryon asymmetry. For lepton flavor violating processes we find the branching ratios, BR(μe\ga)BR(τe\ga)104BR(τμ\ga)<51014{\rm BR}(\mu \to e\ga)\sim {\rm BR}(\tau \to e \ga) \sim 10^{-4}\cdot {\rm BR}(\tau \to \mu \ga) \stackrel{<}{_\sim}5\cdot 10^{-14}. The proton lifetime τpπ0e+10341036\tau_{p\to \pi^0 e^{+}}\simeq 10^{34}-10^{36} yrs.
