Tri - Bimaximal Neutrino Mixing and the Family Symmetry Z 7 ⋊ Z 3

چکیده
The Non-Abelian finite group PSL2(7) is the only simple subgroup of SU(3) with a complex three-dimensional irreducible representation. It has two maximal subgroups, S4 which, along with its own A4 subgroup, has been successfully applied in numerous models of flavor, as well as the 21 element Frobenius group Z7⋊Z3, which has gained much less attention. We show that it can also be used to generate tri-bimaximal mixing in the neutrino sector, while allowing for quark and charged lepton hierarchies.

Tri-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 کاملTri - bimaximal Neutrino Mixing and θ 13
We propose an extension of tri-bimaximal mixing to include a non-zero reactor angle θ13 while maintaining the tri-bimaximal predictions for the atmospheric angle θ23 = 45 o and solar angle θ12 = 35 . We show how such tri-bimaximalreactor mixing can arise at leading order from realistic GUT models with nonAbelian discrete family symmetry spontaneously broken by flavons with vacuum alignment, bas...
متن کاملMinimal Modification To The Tri-bimaximal Neutrino Mixing
Abstract Current experimental data on neutrino oscillations are consistent with the tri-bimaximal mixing. If future experimental data will determine a non-zero Ve3 and/or find CP violations in neutrino oscillations, there is the need to modify the mixing pattern. We find that a simple neutrino mass matrix, resulting from A4 family symmetry breaking with residual Z3 and Z2 discrete symmetries re...

We present a model of the lepton masses and flavor mixing based on the discrete group S 4 ⊗Z 2. In this model, all the charged leptons and neutrinos are assigned to the 3 α representation of S 4 in the Yamanouchi bases. The charged lepton and neutrino masses are mainly determined by the vacuum expectation value structures of the Higgs fields. Our model predicts a nearly tri-bimaximal lepton fla...
متن کاملPermutation Symmetry, Tri-Bimaximal Neutrino Mixing and the S3 Group Characters
We postulate that the neutrino mass matrix in the lepton flavour basis is an S3 group matrix in the natural representation of S3. This immediately requires one neutrino to be trimaximally mixed, as suggested by the solar neutrino data. We go on to postulate that the charged-lepton mass matrix in the neutrino massbasis is an S3 class matrix in the natural representation of the S3 class-algebra, ...
