Description
Non-Abelian discrete family symmetries have been adopted in numerous models which try to explain the triplication of chiral families and describe the observed tri-bimaximal pattern of the leptonic mixing matrix. In my talk I motivate and discuss a possible gauge origin of such a discrete family symmetry. How does the remnant family symmetry arise in this scenario? What are the resulting implications for model building?
