Mu-tau symmetry and the Littlest Seesaw

Mu-tau symmetry and the Littlest Seesaw
Mu-tau symmetry and the Littlest Seesaw

Motivated by the latest neutrino oscillation data which is consistent with maximal atmospheric mixing and maximal leptonic CP violation, we review various results in μτ symmetry, then include several new observations and clarifications, including identifying a new general form of neutrino mass matrix with μτ symmetry. We then apply the new results to the neutrino mass matrix associated with the Littlest Seesaw model, and show that it approximately satisfies the new general form with μτ symmetry, and that this is responsible for its approximate predictions of maximal atmospheric mixing and maximal CP violation in the lepton sector.

Abstract

Motivated by the latest neutrino oscillation data which is consistent with maximal atmospheric mixing and maximal leptonic CP violation, we review various results in μτ symmetry, then include several new observations and clarifications, including identifying a new general form of neutrino mass matrix with μτ symmetry. We then apply the new results to the neutrino mass matrix associated with the Littlest Seesaw model, and show that it approximately satisfies the new general form with μτ symmetry, and that this is responsible for its approximate predictions of maximal atmospheric mixing and maximal CP violation in the lepton sector.
