Charged Lepton Corrections to Scaling Neutrino Mixing

Assuming Majorana nature of neutrinos, a general expression for the charged lepton corrections to scaling neutrino mixing has been obtained in the context of three flavor neutrino oscillations. Non-zero value of the reactor mixing angle is nicely accommodated. It is noted that scaling in the effective neutrino mass matrix is equivalent to the presence of two vanishing minors corresponding to first row elements of the effective neutrino mass matrix. A value of reactor mixing angle which is fairly close to the currently measured best fit is predicted for charged lepton corrections of the order of the Cabbibo angle. We, also, present symmetry realization of such texture structures in the framework of type-I seesaw mechanism with non-diagonal charged lepton mass matrix using discrete Abelian flavor symmetry.
