Lepton flavour violation has been proposed as a significant test of supersymmetric unification. Here we show that such signals are also a generic feature of supersymmetric string unified models in which there is no simple unified gauge…
The gauge interactions of any supersymmetric extension of the standard model involve new flavor mixing matrices. The assumptions involved in the construction of minimal supersymmetric models, both $SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1)$ and grand…

In this work the following lepton flavor violating $\tau$ and $\mu$ decays are studied: $\tau^- \to \mu^- \mu^- \mu^+$, $\tau^- \to e^- e^- e^+$, $\mu^- \to e^- e^- e^+$, $\tau^- \to \mu^- \gamma$, $\tau^- \to e^- \gamma$ and $\mu^- \to e^-…
We study the implications of a large $\nu_\mu - \nu_\tau$ mixing angle on lepton flavour violating radiative transitions in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. The transition rates are calculated to leading order in $\epsilon$,…
We present a new constraint on a lepton mixing matrix $V$ from lepton-flavor violating (LFV) processes in supersymmetric standard models with massive neutrinos. Here, we assume Yukawa-coupling unification $f_{\nu 3}\simeq f_{\rm top}$, in…
A lepton flavor violating process $\mu\to e\gamma$ is investigated in the supersymmetric extra U(1) models, which often appear as the low energy effective models of superstring and can potentially solve the $\mu$-problem. The branching…
We show that Yukawa couplings of bottom quarks and tau leptons can be unified in a non-supersymmetric SU(5) model. We introduce an arbitrary number of right-handed neutrinos. Their masses and Yukawa couplings that satisfy the unification…

U(1)-family symmetries have led to successful predictions of the fermion mass spectrum and the mixing angles of the hadronic sector. In the context of the supersymmetric unified theories, they further imply a non-trivial mass structure for…
