Theoretical Expectations for Rare and Forbidden Tau Decays

Abstract

Given the experimental evidence for ${\nu }_{\mu }-{\nu }_{\tau }$ oscillations, the existence of lepton flavor violation in $\tau$ decays is a theoretical certainty. In this brief review, I consider the connection between models of neutrino mass and the expected observability of some $\tau$ decays.
