We formulate a predictive model of fermion masses and mixings based on a $\Delta(27)$ family symmetry. In the quark sector the model leads to the viable mixing inspired texture where the Cabibbo angle comes from the down quark sector and…

An explicit form of charged--lepton mass matrix, predicting $ m_\tau = 1776.80 $~MeV from the experimental values of $ m_e $ and $ m_\mu$ (in good agreement with the experimental figure $ m_\tau = 1777.05^{+0.29}_{-0.26}$ MeV), is applied…

In this paper, we propose a $G_{L-R}\times U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ gauge-symmetric model where $G_{L-R}$ is the left-right gauge symmetry and $L_i$ is the $i-$flavor lepton number. We use the spontaneous breaking (SSB) of $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$…

We discuss two extensions of the Standard Model based on the seesaw mechanism and on non-abelian family symmetry groups O(2) and $D_4$, respectively. Both models have a twofold-degenerate neutrino Dirac mass matrix $M_D$, a Majorana mass…

Describing neutrino masses using the inverse seesaw mechanism with discrete flavor symmetry imposed through modular forms provides a testable framework at TeV scales with fewer parameters. However, $S_3$, the smallest modular group, remains…
