Abstract

We survey some of the recent promising developments in the search for the theory behind neutrino mass and tri‐bimaximal mixing, and indeed all fermion masses and mixing. We focus in particular on models with discrete family symmetry and unification, and show how such models can also solve the SUSY flavour and CP problems. We also discuss the theoretical implications of the measurement of a non‐zero reactor angle, as hinted at by recent experimental measurements.
