We point out that a new type of non-Abelian flavor symmetry can also appear if the compact space is non-commutative. Introducing the dihedral group D_4 as such a new type of flavor symmetry together with the R symmetry and non-R symmetry in SU(6)×SU(2)_R model, we explain not only fermion mass hierarchies but also hierarchical energy scales including the breaking scale of the GUT-type gauge symmetry, intermediate Majorana masses of R-handed neutrinos and the scale of μ-term.}, pages = {1275--1295}, title = {Flavor symmetry on non-commutative compact space and SU(6) x SU(2)_R model.}, volume = {106}, year = {2001} }
