Can majorana mass undo the hierarchy?
Would need to have a severe hierarchy
What sets the physics of Majorana matrix?
Should “know” what sets the hierarchy in Y(0)
Natural candidate: Family symmetry!
Majorana matrix to the rescue

At this special point, a vanishing sub-determinant
Can we produce it naturally with a family symmetry?

Step I : Choose Rep’s of FieldsWant to work within SU(5) :
Choose all matter fields to transform as family triplets
Also introduce Familons which are family triplets or anti-triplets but gauge singlets

One linear combination of dimension-five Invariants
Hierarchies carried by Familon Fields
Can also be done through single dimension-six
Producing the Majorana Matrix
gives zero sub-determinant!

Flavor Ring: tying Grand Unification to the flavor
puzzle can lead to new insights
Using family symmetry to give Majorana physics
begins to give a more connected picture
Found a compelling and predictive Majorana
matrix
Natural in terms of a family symmetry
Stay tuned – more to come!

Extreme hierarchy dictates a subgroup of SU(3)
Neutrino mixing seems to indicate a finite subgroup

• A single Dim-6 Operator
Similar to the Dim-5 case.
The form of nesting is quite suggestive.
