We present a predictive scheme for fermion masses and mixings based on supersymmetric SO(10) which provides an understanding of the observed hierarchies in the charged fermion sector including CKM mixings. In the neutrino sector bi-large…

The idea of left-right symmetry with mirror fermions is very appealing from the symmetry point of view. In this picture, unlike the Standard Model, the symmetry is not only left-right symmetric, but each left handed fermion multiplet is…

We consider a new approach to fermion masses and mixings in which no special "horizontal" dynamics is invoked to account for the hierarchical pattern of charged fermion masses and for the peculiar features of neutrino masses. The hierarchy…
Possible maximal mixing seen in the oscillations of the atmospheric neutrinos has led to postulate of a $\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry which interchanges $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$. We argue that such symmetry need not be special to neutrinos but can…
We propose a formulation of lattice fermions with one-sided differences that is hermitian, chirally symmetric (barring a bare mass term) and completely free of doubling. To obtain the axial anomaly in perturbation theory it was necessary to…
We analyze U(1)$_H$ as a horizontal symmetry and its possibilities to explain the known elementary-fermion masses. We find that only two candidates, in the context of SU(3)$_c\otimes$SU(2)$_L\otimes$U(1)$_Y\otimes$U(1)$_H$…

We investigate the implications for fermion mass models in heterotic orbifolds of the modular symmetry mixing twisted states localized at different fixed points. We show that, unlike in the case of continuous gauge symmetries, the mass…
Family symmetries are possibly the most conservative extension of the Standard Model that attempt explanations of the pattern of fermion masses and mixings. The observed large mixing angles in the lepton sector may be the first signal for…
