TY - JOUR AU - Morisi, S. AU - Peinado, E. AU - Shimizu, Y. AU - Valle, J. W. F. PY - 2011 DA - 2011// TI - Relating quarks and leptons without grand unification JO - Physical Review D SP - 036003 VL - 84 IS - 3 AB - In combination with supersymmetry, flavor symmetry may relate quarks with leptons, even in the absence of a grand-unification group. We propose an SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) model where both supersymmetry and the assumed A(4) flavor symmetries are softly broken, reproducing well the observed fermion mass hierarchies and predicting: (i) a relation between down-type quarks and charged lepton masses, and (ii) a correlation between the Cabibbo angle in the quark sector and the reactor angle theta(13) characterizing CP violation in neutrino oscillations.
