We consider a Majorana neutrino mass matrix $\mathcal{M}_\nu$ with $(\mathcal{M}_\nu)_{\mu\mu} = (\mathcal{M}_\nu)_{\tau\tau} = 0$, in the basis where the charged-lepton mass matrix is diagonal. We show that this pattern for the lepton mass…

We carry out diagonalization of a kind of Majorana neutrino mass matrix $M=M_\nu M_\nu^\dagger$ of which Real part and Imaginary part are commutative. For the kind of matrix M, it is shown in a model-independent way that $\delta = \pm\pi/2$…
