【 摘 要 】

Understanding flavor is one of the fundamental puzzles of the standard model. The discovery of neutrino masses in the past decade, exhibiting mixing and mass patterns so very different from the quark sector has added an extra dimension to this problem. In this paper, I discuss a proposal that appears to provide a promising way to resolve this puzzle in a unified framework incorporating both quarks and leptons.
