3. To construct SO(10)×A4 model such that SO(10) is broken in the minimum way to SM in order to preserve the gauge coupling unification and make the unified gauge coupling perturbative below the Planck scale To explain most of the quark and lepton features, such as, quark and neutrino mixing angles , mass hierarchies and relations, CP violation,…….. Motivation

4. Accommodates all the SM multiplets in three 16-dimensional spinor representations. Considered as first approximation to CKM matrix Good for 3rd generation, bad for 1st and 2nd generations No Mixing matrix for quark sector SUSY A4 solves FCNC problem Minimal SO(10) and A4 Why SO(10)? What is A4? It is the finite group of the even permutation of four objects and contains 12 elements. It has four irreducible representation 1, 1', 1'', 3. Why A4? A4 is the smallest discrete group that has a three dimensional irreducible representation [E. Ma, G. Rajasekaran, 2001] A4 flavor symmetry very easily gives tri-bi-maximal mixing matrix [P.F Harrison et al, 2002]

6. Hierarchy & Mass Relations Consider the following Feynman diagram The effective operator after integrating out the heavy states

7. Where From the above matrix Hierarchy between the second and third generation Bad Relations Hierarchy & Mass Relations So the light fermions' masses

8. Small CKM matrix Large Neutrino mixing matrix Doubly Lopsided Structure Consider the combination of the following two diagrams, the first (second) gives flavor symmetric (anti-symmetric) contribution, Doubly lopsided structure leads to [K.S. Babu , S. Barr, 2001]

9. After combining the above three diagrams (i.e. ) and redefining our parameters such that : And rewrite the in terms of we get Doubly Lopsided Structure

10. Doubly Lopsided Structure Consider the following limit SU(5) limit Having both of order one leads to doubly lopsided structure

11. Analytical Fit By using this approximation The following expressions are obtained

12. The inputs The outputs Numerical fitting at Gut scale The following are the numerical fit at GUT scale for

13. Predictions at the Low Scale We do the running of the above fitting from the Gut Scale to Msusy =500 GeV then from Msusy to low scale using RGE with

14. The constraint of preserving the gauge coupling unification and making the unified gauge coupling perturbative all the way to the Planck scale guides us to consider invariant SO(10)× A4 model with the minimum Higgs representation breaking scheme. From the invariant SO(10)×A4 superpotential we obtain the doubly lopsided structure which explains the largeness of the neutrino mixing angles and smallness of the quark mixing angles simultaneously. We fit numerically at low scale , the fermion masses, quark and lepton mixing angles (except atmospheric angle), and the CP violation parameter The atmospheric neutrino mixing angle is still needed to be corrected by including the appropriate right handed neutrino structure to our model Conclusion
