Findings

Explains quark mass hierarchy and CKM mixing naturally.

Predicts a quasi-degenerate neutrino mass spectrum.

Suggests observable CP violation effects in neutrino sector.

Abstract

Weak bases of flavors (u, c), (d,s), (e, \mu), (\nu_e,\nu_\mu) are assumed as the S_3 doublet and t, b, \tau, {\nu_\tau} are the S_3 singlet and further there are assumed S_3 doublet Higgs (H_1, H_2) and S_3 singlet Higgs H_S. We suggest an S_3 invariant model in which the Yukawa interactions constructed from these S_3 doublets and singlets are S_3 invariant. In this model, we can explain the quark sector mass hierarchy, quark mixing V_{CKM} and measure of CP violation naturally. In the leptonic sector, neutrino masses are assumed to be constructed through the see-saw mechanism from the Majorana mass. The tri-bimaximal-like character of neutrino mixing V_{MNS} can be explained dynamically without any other symmetry restrictions. It is predicted that a quasi-degenerate mass spectroscopy of neutrino is favorable, and values of |V_{MNS}|_{13}, CP violation invariant measure J and the effective Majorana mass |<m>| in neutrino-less double beta decay are not so tiny.
