We present an updated phenomenological analysis of MFV models, both at small and large tan beta, in the sector of Delta F=1 processes. We evaluate the bounds on the scale of new physics derived from recent measurements (in particular from B to Xs gamma, B to Xs ll and B to mu mu) and we use such bounds to derive a series of model-independent predictions for future experimental searches in...

We discuss recent results on charm and tau physics obtained by the Belle and BaBar collaborations. In the charm section we present measurements of D0-D0bar mixing parameters, measurements searching for CP violation in D0 decays and a measurement of D_s meson decay constant. In the tau section the recent results on Lepton Flavor Violation in tau decays to three leptons or a lepton and a vector...

We review the recently proposed flavour-permutation-symmetric mixing observables and discuss their application to quark and lepton mixing matrices,
with particular reference to tri-bimaximal mixing and its viable generalisations. We present an alternative formulation of the same idea which admits a new geometrical representation of mixing.
