Neutrino Mass Matrix from Seesaw Mechanism with Heavy Majorana Neutrino Subject to Texture Zero and Invariant Under a Cyclic Permutation

Abstract: We evaluate the predictive power of the neutrino mass matrices arising from seesaw mechanism with heavy Majorana mass matrices subject to texture zero and satisfy a cyclic permutation invariant form to the solar neutrino mixing phenomena. From eight possible patterns of heavy Majorana neutrino mass matrix, we found that there is no heavy Majorana neutrino mass matrix to be invariant in form under a cyclic permutation. But, by imposing an additional assumption that at least one of the 2 × 2 sub-matrices of heav… Show more

“…A 4 [16], µτ symmetry [17]- [44], scaling ansatz [45]- [54], to generate nondegenerate mass eigenvalues [55] and θ 23 , θ 12 = 0 with θ 13 = 0 at the leading order and nonzero θ 13 [56]- [73] is generated by further breaking of such symmetries or ansatz. Contrary to the above idea, in the present work, we explore a typical symmetry, cyclic permutation symmetry [74][75][76], in which it is possible to generate all three mixing angles nonzero at the leading order, however, the mass eigenvalues become degenerate. To circumvent this loop hole, we break the symmetry in such a way that the degeneracy in mass eigenvalues is lifted but the mixing angles are still compatible with the extant data.…”

“…Motivated by the first one (as the neutrino mass matrices are highly constrained with minimum number of parameters), in the second method, we concentrate on cyclic symmetry invariant form of the neutrino mass matrices rather inquire to the explicit symmetry on the fields. Such type of form invariance can be realized through the residual symmetry [38][39][40] of some bigger symmetry group in the Lagrangian. To realize one of the sub case, as a toy model we exemplify a softly broken A 4 group as the bigger symmetry group which is completely broken in the charged lepton sector, though in the neutrino sector it breaks into Z 3 at the leading order.…”
