abstract
We analyze neutrino masses and Lepton Flavor Violation (LFV) in charged leptons with a minimal ansatz about the breaking of the U(3)^5 flavor symmetry, consistent with the U(2)^3 breaking pattern of quark Yukawa couplings, in the context of supersymmetry. Neutrino masses are expected to be almost degenerate, close to present bounds from cosmology and $0\nu\beta\beta$ experiments. We also predict $s_{13} \approx s_{23} |V_{td}|/|V_{ts}| \approx 0.16$, in perfect agreement with the recent DayaBay result. For slepton masses below 1 TeV, barring accidental cancellations, we expect $\cB(\mu \to e \gamma) > 10^{-13}$ and $\cB(\tau \to \mu \gamma) > 10^{-9}$, within the reach of future experimental searches.

Hunting for Neutrino Texture Zeros with Muon and Tau Flavor Violation
Two-zero textures in the neutrino mass matrix produce distinctive, testable correlations among charged lepton flavor violation processes, with some patterns suppressing muon-to-electron transitions while permitting tau decays at observable rates down to a 5-6 TeV cutoff.
