In this work, we construct an A4-based flavor symmetry model within the framework of the type-I seesaw mechanism to realize a light neutrino mass matrix consistent with mu-tau reflection symmetry. The entire framework is based on the…
The $\mu\tau$-reflection symmetric neutrino mass matrix can accommodate all known neutrino mixing angles, with maximal atmospheric angle fixed, and predicts all the unknown CP phases of the lepton sector but is unable to predict the…
We propose that leptonic CP violation arises from a breaking of the mu-tau exchange symmetry in the neutrino mass matrix which in turn is indicated by the near maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing and the near zero \theta_{13}. We find that…
We diagonalize Majorana neutrino mass matrix with the help of PMNS matrix and obtain analytical relations between the mass matrix elements and mixing parameters, viz., three mixing angles- $\theta_{12}, \theta_{23}, \theta_{13}$ and Dirac…
We propose a simple mechanism which enforces |U_{mu j}| = | U_{tau j}| forall j = 1,2,3 in the lepton mixing matrix U. This implies maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing and a maximal CP-violating phase but does not constrain the reactor…
We investigate the consequences of $\mu-\tau$ reflection symmetry in presence of a light sterile neutrino for the $3+1$ neutrino mixing scheme. We discuss the implications of total $\mu-\tau$ reflection symmetry as well partial $\mu-\tau$…
The generalized $\mu$-$\tau$ interchange symmetry in the leptonic mixing matrix $U$ corresponds to the relations: $|U_{\mu i}|=|U_{\tau i}|$ with $i=1,2,3$. It predicts maximal atmospheric mixing and maximal Dirac CP violation given…
The exchange symmetry between the muon neutrino and the tau neutrino for the neutrino mass matrix has been very useful in understanding the near maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing angle. However, this symmetry can not be imposed at the…
The present neutrino oscillation data allow $m^{}_1 = 0$ (or $m^{}_3 = 0$) for the neutrino mass spectrum and support $\theta^{}_{23} \simeq \pi/4$ and $\delta \simeq -\pi/2$ as two good approximations for the PMNS lepton flavor mixing…
Within the framework of residual symmetry, two $\mathbb{Z}_2$ type associate $\mu\tau$ interchange symmetries robustly constrain the Dirac CP phase $\delta$ in a model independent way. Both of them predict simultaneous maximality of…
Discovery of the CP-violation in the lepton sector is one of the challenges of the particle physics. We search for possible principles, symmetries and phenomenological relations that can lead to particular values of the CP-violating Dirac…
We consider minimal type-I seesaw framework to realize $ \mu-\tau $ reflection symmetry in the low-energy neutrino mass matrix, $ M_{\nu} $. Considering DUNE experiment, we scrutinize its potential to measure the precision of 2-3 mixing…
In this paper, we attempt to implement the neutrino $\mu$-$\tau$ reflection symmetry (which predicts $\theta^{}_{23} = \pi/4$ and $\delta = \pm \pi/2$ as well as trivial Majorana phases) in the minimal seesaw (which enables us to fix the…
The $\mu$-$\tau$ reflection symmetry is compatible with current neutrino oscillation data and easily realized under family symmetries. We prove that this symmetry preserves $\theta_{23}=45^\circ$, $\delta=\pm90^\circ$,…
We find that the lepton flavor mixing matrix $U$ should possess a partial $\mu$-$\tau$ permutation symmetry $|U^{}_{\mu 1}| = |U^{}_{\tau 1}|$, and the latter predicts a novel correlation between the Dirac CP-violating phase $\delta$ and…
