Lepton masses and mixing angles with spontaneously broken O(3) flavor symmetry

We present a model based on an O(3) flavor symmetry and a minimal extension of the scalar sector to induce hierarchical breaking, O(3) → O(2) → SO(2) → nothing. The model naturally accounts for all the known lepton parameters and yields various interesting predictions for others: (i) Neutrinos are nearly degenerate, mν ~ 0.1 eV; (ii) The solar neutrino problem is solved by the MSW small mixing angle solution; (iii) The MNS mixing angle θ13 is unobservably small, θ13 = Script O(10−5).
