Abstract: (arXiv)
There is a group-theoretical connection between fermion mixing matrices and minimal horizontal symmetry groups. Applying this connection to the tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing matrix, we show that the minimal horizontal symmetry group for leptons is uniquely S4S_4, the permutation group of four objects.
