Description |
Models of leptonic mixing based on discrete flavour groups have received a lot of attention over the past decade. I will discuss a bottom up approach in which the knowledge of the leptonic mixing angles is used to infer the underlying discrete flavour symmetries. Some of the simplest symmetry groups supported by experiment as a possible good first approximation to the data will be reviewed. The status of the flavour symmetries after the recent discovery of non-zero reactor angle will be discussed. I will also present some new developments in the field in which the discrete flavour symmetries are used to predict quark-lepton mass relations and neutrino mass hierarchies beyond the leptonic mixing pattern. |
