Abstract
We construct a model for leptons where all Yukawa couplings are of order unity, but known lepton masses are generated radiatively, order by order. The seed is provided by fourth generation leptons E and N, and two additional Higgs doublets are introduced to give nearest-neighbor Yukawa couplings. Loop masses are generated when is softly broken down to , while and generation require Higgs bosons to be weak scale. The symmetry forbids μ→eγ. The most stringent bound comes from τ→μ . The model has implications for τ→eγ, μe¯→μ¯e conversion, μ→eν, and FCNC decays of E and N (such as E→τ ).
