Baryon triality and neutrino masses from an anomalous flavor image Original Research Article

We construct a concise image Froggatt–Nielsen model in which baryon triality, a discrete gauge image-symmetry, arises from image breaking. The proton is thus stable, however, R-parity is violated. With the proper choice of image charges we can obtain neutrino masses and mixings consistent with an explanation of the atmospheric and solar neutrino anomalies in terms of neutrino oscillations, with no right-handed neutrinos required. The only mass scale apart from image is image.
