If the supersymmetry breaking is mediated by gravity, the see-saw models may predict observable lepton flavor violating effects. In this work, we investigate the lepton flavor violating process $\\mu\\to e\\gamma$ in the kind of neutrino mass models based on the idea of the ``lopsided'' form of the charged lepton mass matrix. The constraints set by the muon anomalous magnetic moment are taken into account. We find the present models generally predict a much larger branching ratio of $\\mu\\to e\\gamma$ than the experimental limit. Conversely, this process may give strong constraint on the lepton flavor structure. Following this constraint we then find a new kind of the charged lepton mass matrix. The feature of the structure is that both the elements between the 2-3 and 1-3 generations are ``lopsided''. This structure produces a very small 1-3 mixing and a large 1-2 mixing in the charged lepton sector, which naturally leads to small $Br(\\mu\\to e\\gamma)$ and the LMA solution for the solar neutrino problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2002-04-10T05:58:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14.60.Pq", "11.30.Hv", "13.35.Bv", "12.10.Dm" ], "keywords": [ "lepton flavor violation", "lopsided mass matrix", "susy-gut models", "lepton flavor violating effects", "charged lepton mass matrix" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
