Fermion Masses from SO(10) Hermitian Matrices

Abstract

Masses of fermions in the SO(10) 16-plet are constructed using only the 10, 120 and 126 scalar multiplets. The mass matrices are restricted to be hermitian and the theory is constructed to have certain assumed quark masses, charged lepton masses and CKM matrix in accord with data. The remaining free parameters are found by fitting to light neutrino masses and MSN matrices result as predictions.
