18. SO(3) Gauge Model Exact Discrete symmetry  Tri-bimaximal with  13 = 0 Experimental Data (99%) Gauge Symmetry has been well tested

19. Why SO(3) Gauge Model? YLW arXiv:0708.0867, PRD 2008  Why lepton sector is so different from quark sector ? Neutrinos are neutral fermions and can be Majorana! Majorana fermions only have real representations They possess orthogonal symmetry  Invariant Lagrangian for Yukawa Interactions

20. Uniqueness of Lagrangian & New Particles  Symmetry 

21. SO(3) Expression of Tri-triplet Higgs Bosons In terms of SO(3) representation:

22. Symmetry as Subgroup of SO(3) Discrete symmetric group: Cyclic permutation group: Coset space : Cyclic permuted form: with i+j-1 mod. 3

23. Why Local SO(3) Symmetry  Fixing Gauge:  invariant Lagrangian  In terms of SO(3) Representation

25. Vacuum Structure With the given fixing gauge:

26. Type-II like (generalized) see-saw mechanism For neutrinos: For charged leptons:

27. Global U(1) Family Symmetries For Infinite Large Majorana neutrino masses Majorana neutrinos decouple Generating global U(1) family symmetries U(1)_1 x U(1)_2 x U(1)_3  Large but Finite Majorana Neutrino Masses  ???

28. Small Mass and Large Mixing of Neutrinos Approximate global U(1) family symmetries Smallness of neutrino masses and charged lepton mixing Neutrino mixings could be large !!!

30. Lepton Mixing Matrix and Neutrino Masses CKM-like Lepton mixing: Neutrino Masses Heavy Majorana Masses

31. Numerical Results 4 Parameters: / / Two inputs: Neutrino masses with given parameter

32. Considering the hierarchy: One parameter in Vacuum: Interesting case: Two cases for charged lepton mixing:

33. Numerical results for given parameter

34. Taking Optimistic Predictions Which can be detected by the future neutrino Experiments, like Daya Bay

35. Vector-Like Heavy Neutrino and Charged Lepton Masses Taking and It leads to and Taking The lightest vector-like charged lepton mass Which may be detected at LHC/ILC

36. Summary  Smallness of neutrino masses and charged lepton mixing could be understood from approximate global U(1) family symmetries  Tri-bimaxiaml neutrino mixing is obtainable from the vacuum structure of SO(3) gauge symmetry   13 is in general non-zero and testable at the experimental sensitivity  Some of the vector-like fermions could have masses at electroweak scale and be probed at LHC  The mechanism can simply be extended to quark sector for smallness of quark mixing
