(S3)3flavor symmetry andpK0e+

Abstract
We show how to incorporate the lepton sector in a supersymmetric theory of flavor based on the discrete flavor group (S3)3. Assuming that all possible nonrenormalizable operators are generated at the Planck scale, we show that the transformation properties of the leptons and of the flavor-symmetry-breaking fields are uniquely determined. We then demonstrate that the model has a viable phenomenology and makes one very striking prediction: the nucleon decays predominantly to Kl where l is a first generation lepton. We show that the modes nK0ν¯e, pK+ν¯e, and pK0e+ occur at comparable rates, and could well be discovered simultaneously at the SuperKamiokande experiment.
