Abstract
We quantitatively analyze a quark-lepton flavor model derived from a six-dimensional supersymmetric theory with gauge symmetry, compactified on an orbifold with magnetic flux. Two bulk -plets charged under the provide the three quark-lepton generations whereas two uncharged -plets yield two Higgs doublets. At the orbifold fixed points mass matrices are generated with rank one or two. Moreover, the zero modes mix with heavy vectorlike split multiplets. The model possesses no flavor symmetries. Nevertheless, there exist a number of relations between Yukawa couplings, remnants of the underlying grand unified theory symmetry and the wave function profiles of the zero modes, which lead to a prediction of the light neutrino mass scale, and heavy Majorana neutrino masses in the range from to . The model successfully includes thermal leptogenesis.
