Models based on flavor symmetries are the most often studied approaches to explain the unexpected structure of lepton mixing. In many flavor symmetry groups a product of two triplet representations contains a symmetric and an anti-symmetric…

We study a realistic SU(5) grand unified model, where a 45 representation of scalar fields is added to the Georgi-Glashow model in order to realize the gauge coupling unification and the masses and mixing of quarks and leptons. The gauge…
In split-family SUSY, one can use a U(2)^3 symmetry to protect flavour observables in the quark sector from SUSY contributions. However, attempts to extend this procedure to the lepton sector by using an analogous U(2)^5 symmetry fail to…
The lepton sector masses and mixing angles can be explained in models based on $A_4$ symmetry. $A_4$ is a non-Abelian discrete group. Therefore, one issue in constructing models based on it is explaining the origin of $A_4$. A plausible…
