Abstract

In this letter, we consider exact μτ\mu-\tau reflection symmetries for quarks and leptons. Fermion mass matrices are assumed to be four-zero textures for charged fermions f=u,d,ef = u,d,e and a symmetric matrix for neutrinos νL\nu_{L}. By a bi-maximal transformation, all the mass matrices lead to μτ\mu-\tau reflection symmetric forms, which seperately satisfy Tumu,νTu=mu,νT_{u} \, m_{u,\nu}^{*} \, T_{u} = m_{u,\nu} and Tdmd,eTd=md,eT_{d} \, m_{d,e}^{*} \, T_{d} = m_{d,e}. Reconciliation between the μτ\mu-\tau reflection symmetries and observed sinθ13\sin \theta_{13} predicts δCP203\delta_{CP} \simeq 203^{\circ}. Moreover, imposition of universal texture (mf)11=0(m_{f})_{11} = 0 for f=u,d,ν,ef=u,d,\nu,e predicts the normal hierarchy with the lightest neutrino mass m1=6.26|m_{1}| = 6.26 or 2.542.54 meV.
