Abstract
A realistic scheme for masses and mixing of leptons is
investigated in the model with gauged SO(3) lepton flavor symmetry.
Within this scheme, a nearly bimaximal neutrino mixing pattern
with a maximal CP-violating phase is found to be the only possible solution
for reconciling both solar and atmospheric neutrino flux anomalies.
Three Majorana neutrino masses are nearly degenerate and large
enough to play a significant cosmological role. Lepton flavor-violating
effects via SO(3) gauge interactions can be as large as the present
experimental limits. Masses of the SO(3) gauge bosons are bounded to
be above 24 TeV when the SO(3) gauge boson mixing angle
and coupling constant g'3 are taken to be the same as those
(
and g) in the electroweak theory.
