Abstract: (arXiv)
We study the lepton sector of a four generations model based on the discrete flavor group A5A_5 (the even permutation of five objects). The best features of the three family A4A_4 model survive, including the tribimaximal pattern of three generation neutrino mixings. At leading order the three light neutrino mass relations of mν1=mν3m_{\nu_1} = m_{\nu_3} and mν2=0m_{\nu_2} = 0 are predicted. The splitting of the neutrino masses can be naturally obtained as a result of the breaking of A5A_{5} down to A4A_4 and a degenerate spectrum is preferred in our model. In our A5A_5 model, the electron mass is zero at tree level, but calculable through quantum corrections.
