Abstract

I introduce a simple phenomenological model of lepton flavor mixing and CP violation based on the flavor democracy of charged leptons and the mass degeneracy of neutrinos. The nearly bi-maximal mixing pattern, which can interpret current data on atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations, emerges naturally from this model. The rephasing-invariant strength of CP or T violation amounts to about one percent and could be measured in the long-baseline neutrino experiments. The similarity and difference between lepton and quark flavor mixing phenomena are also discussed.
