We review pedagogically non-Abelian discrete groups, which play an important role in the particle physics. We show group-theoretical aspects for many concrete groups, such as representations, their tensor products. We explain how to derive, conjugacy classes, characters, representations, and tensor products for these groups (with a finite number). We discussed them explicitly for $S_N$, $A_N$, $T'$, $D_N$, $Q_N$, $\Sigma(2N^2)$, $\Delta(3N^2)$, $T_7$, $\Sigma(3N^3)$ and $\Delta(6N^2)$, which have been applied for model building in the particle physics. We also present typical flavor models by using $A_4$, $S_4$, and $\Delta (54)$ groups. Breaking patterns of discrete groups and decompositions of multiplets are important for applications of the non-Abelian discrete symmetry. We discuss these breaking patterns of the non-Abelian discrete group, which are a powerful tool for model buildings. We also review briefly about anomalies of non-Abelian discrete symmetries by using the path integral approach.

  1. Quark hierarchies and CP violation from the Siegel modular group

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A benchmark model using genus-2 modular invariance generates quark mass hierarchies and CP violation via moduli VEVs near invariant points, with mass ratios vanishing in the symmetric limit and mixing angles reproduced.

  2. Two-loop neutrino mass model with modular $S_4$ symmetry

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A two-loop neutrino mass model with modular S4 and Z3 symmetries reproduces charged lepton masses and normal-ordering neutrino data while predicting observable LFV and viable DM candidates.

  3. Why Quarks and Leptons Demand Different Symmetries: A Systematic $Z_3$ Froggatt-Nielsen Analysis

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A Z3 Froggatt-Nielsen model with one flavon reproduces quark and charged lepton hierarchies but yields neutrino mass-squared ratios too small by two orders of magnitude and random PMNS angles.

  4. MSSM flavors from 7-brane configurations of magnetized SYM on $R^{1,3} \times (T^2)^3/(Z_2 \times Z'_2)$

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Magnetized SYM on (T^2)^3/(Z_2 x Z'_2) with 7-branes, fluxes, and Wilson lines produces MSSM chiral fields and semi-realistic hierarchical Yukawas for quarks and leptons.
