Description

We construct a model in the framework of the MSSM in which the dihedral group D14 plays the role of the flavour symmetry. We show that in the quark sector the Cabibbo angle is predicted, |V_ud|=cos(pi/14), and at the same time mu-tau symmetric mixing in the neutrino sector. The solar mixing angle is expected to be large. Charged fermion mass hierarchies are explained. The spectrum of light neutrinos is normally ordered with m1=0.
