Abstract: We study an effective gauge theory whose gauge group is a semidirect product $G=G_{c}timesmathitGamma$ with $G_c$ and $mathitGamma$ being a connected Lie group and a finite group, respectively. The semidirect product is defined through a projective homomorphism $gamma$ (i.e., homomorphism up to the center of $G_c$) from $mathitGamma$ into $G_c$. The (linear) representation of $G$ is made from $gamma$ and a projective representation of $mathitGamma$ over $mathbbC$. To be specific, we take $SU(3{)}_L$ as $G_c$ and $mathbb{Z}_{3}imesmathbb{Z}_3$ as $mathitGamma$. It is noticed that the irreducible projective representations of $mathitGamma$ are three-dimensional in spite of its Abelian nature. We give a toy model on the lepton mixing which illustrates the peculiar feature of such gauge symmetry. It is shown that under a particular vacuum alignment the tri-bimaximal mixing matrix is reproduced.
