Tri-bimaximal Neutrino Mixing and CKM Matrix in a SU(5)x(d)T Model

Understand

In this talk, we present a model based on SU(5)x(d)T which successfully gives rise to near tri-bimaximal leptonic mixing as well as realistic CKM matrix elements for the quarks.

• The Georgi-Jarlskog relations for three generations are also obtained.
• Due to the (d)T transformation property of the matter fields, the b-quark mass can be generated only when the (d)T symmetry is broken, giving a dynamical origin for the hierarchy between m_b and m_t.
• There are only nine operators allowed in the Yukawa sector up to at least mass dimension seven due to an additional Z12 x Z12' symmetry, which also forbids, up to some high orders, operators that lead to proton decay.
