A4 Group and Tri-bimaximal Neutrino Mixing – A Renormalizable Model
نویسنده
چکیده
The tetrahedron A4 group has been widely used in studying neutrino mixing matrix. It provides a natural framework of model building for the tri-bimaximal mixing matrix. In this class of models, it is necessary to have two Higgs fields, χ and χ′, transforming under A4 as 3 with one of them having vacuum expectation values for the three components to be equal and another having only one of the components to be non-zero. These specific vev structures require separating χ and χ′ from communicating with each other. The clash of the different vev structures for χ and χ′ is the so called sequestering problem. In this work, I show that it is possible to construct renormalizable supersymmetric models producing the tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing with no sequestering problem.

A Simplest A4 Model for Tri-Bimaximal Neutrino Mixing
We present a see-saw A4 model for Tri-Bimaximal mixing which is based on a very economical flavour symmetry and field content and still possesses all the good features of A4 models. In particular the charged lepton mass hierarchies are determined by the A4 × Z4 flavour symmetry itself without invoking a Froggatt-Nielsen U(1) symmetry. Tri-Bimaximal mixing is exact in leading order while all the...
متن کاملTri-bimaximal Neutrino Mixing from Orbifolding
We show that the A4 discrete symmetry that naturally leads to tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing can be simply obtained as a result of an orbifolding starting from a model in 6 dimensions. This particular orbifolding has four fixed points where 4 dimensional branes are located and the tetrahedral symmetry of A4 connects these branes. In this approach A4 appears after the reduction from six to four d...
متن کاملModelling tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing
We model tri-bimaximal lepton mixing from first principles in a way that avoids the problem of the vacuum alignment characteristic of such models. This is achieved by using a softly broken A4 symmetry realized with an isotriplet fermion, also triplet under A4. No scalar A4-triplet is introduced. This represents one possible realization of general schemes characterized by the minimal set of eith...
متن کاملTri-bimaximal neutrino mixing from discrete subgroups of SU (3) and SO(3) family symmetry
It has recently been shown how tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing can be achieved, using the see-saw mechanism with constrained sequential dominance, through the vacuum alignment of a broken non-Abelian gauged family symmetry such as SO(3) or SU(3). Generalising the approach of Altarelli and Feruglio developed for an A4 model we show how the reduction of the underlying symmetry to a discrete subgrou...
متن کاملMaximal Neutrino Mixing from Discrete Symmetry in Extra Dimensions
I review the construction of a model for lepton masses based on the flavour symmetry group A4× U(1) reproducing the so-called tri-bimaximal lepton mixing, in eccelent agreement with current data. The model predicts a neutrino spectrum of normal hierarchy type, not far from degenerate. A testable relation between neutrino masses is obtained. I shortly discuss also general requirements for models...
