Description

I will present ideas of how to predict fermion mixing with the help of discrete non-abelian flavor symmetries which are broken in a particular way and give examples of models in which such ideas are realized. In the leptonic sector emphasis will be put on the possibility to explain the recently measured value of the reactor mixing angle and the possibilities to predict CP violating phases.
