Abstract

In this paper, we impose a magic symmetry on the neutrino mass matrix mνm_{\nu} with universal four-zero texture and diagonal reflection symmetries. Due to the magic symmetry, the MNS matrix has trimaximal mixing inevitably. Since the lepton sector has only six free parameters, physical observables of leptons are all determined from the charged leptons masses meim_{ei}, the neutrino mass differences Δmi12\Delta m_{i1}^{2}, and the mixing angle θ23\theta_{23}. This scheme predicts sinθ13=0.149\sin \theta_{13} = 0.149, that is almost equal to the latest best fit, as a function of the lepton masses me,μm_{e, \mu} and the mass differences Δmi12\Delta m_{i1}^{2}. Moreover, even if the mass matrix has perturbations that break the magic symmetry, the prediction of sinθ13\sin \theta_{13} is retained with good accuracy for the four-zero texture with diagonal reflection symmetries.
