Description

Flavour symmetries have been widely studied to account for the Flavour Problem. Successful flavour models provide an explanation for the observed pattern of fermion masses and mixings, independently on the type of the implemented symmetry (either local or global, either discrete or continuous, either Abelian or non-Abelian). In order to distinguish among different constructions and to confirm or rule out some of them, detailed phenomenological analyses are necessary. In this talk I illustrate recent results on the phenomenological impact of flavour symmetries.
