In the framework of three light Majorana neutrinos, we show how to reconstruct, through the use of 3 x 3 unitarity, the full PMNS matrix from six independent Majorana-type phases. In particular, we express the strength of Dirac-type CP violation in terms of these Majorana-type phases by writing the area of the unitarity triangles in terms of these phases. We also study how these six Majorana phases appear in CP-odd weak basis invariants as well as in leptonic asymmetries relevant for flavoured leptogenesis.
Charged Lepton Decays L_i to L_j + gamma, Leptogenesis CP-Violating Parameters and Majorana Phases
本文分析了LFV带电轻子μ衰变到e + γ、τ衰变到e + γ、τ衰变到μ + γ的速率依赖关系（l_i to l_j + gamma）和它们的比值，在具有nu-质量产生的跷跷板机制和具有GUT尺度下的通用边界条件的软超对称性破缺的超对称性理论类中预测，关于PMNS中微子混合矩阵中的Majorana CP破坏阶段和"leptogenesis“CP破坏（CPV）参数。考虑了质量重的Majorana中微子的准简并情况。分析了正常分级（NH），倒置分级（IH）和准简并（QD）轻中微子质谱。我们特别指出，对于NH和IH核质量谱和可忽略的最轻中微子质量，所有三个l_i到l_j + γ衰变的分支比，BR（l_i到l_j + γ），取决于一个Majorana相，一个leptogenesis CPV参数和3-中微子振荡参数;如果CHOOZ混合角θ_13足够大，则它们取决于PMNS矩阵中的狄拉克CPV相位。"双比率“R（21/31）sim BR（mu to e + gamma）/BR（tau to e + gamma）和R（21/32）sim BR（mu to e + gamma）/BR（tau to mu + gamma）由这些参数确定。在无中微子双β衰变中，相同的Majorana相进入了有效Majorana质量的NH和IH表达式<m>。
An anomaly free non-universal $U(1)_{X}$ extension to the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is proposed, where additional two $SU(2)$ doublet superfields and four singlet superfields complement the scalar sector of the model. The fermion sector is extended by considering additional superfields containing three quark singlets, two charged lepton singlet superfields and six neutral leptons. A tree-level massless electron is found so radiative corrections are considered to match the mass spectrum with both SUSY and non-SUSY contributions. Likewise, a massless neutrino is found and analytic ex…
Formation of quark and lepton mass matrices through intermediate states of heavy mirror fermions is capable of reproducing main qualitative properties of weak mixing matrices (CKM and PMNS matrices). The reproduction includes the hierarchy of CKM matrix elements, a general form of the PMNS matrix, involving the smallness of the neutrino mixing angle θ_{13}, and leads to very small neutrino masses. For leptons, these properties appear only for the Dirac nature of SM neutrino and its inverse spectrum. In such a lepton system, not only do spontaneous mirror symmetry violation and the observed mas…
We discuss the possibility of enforcing a massless Majorana neutrino in the direct and semi-direct approaches to lepton mixing, in which the PMNS matrix is partly predicted by subgroups of a discrete family symmetry, extending previous group searches up to order 1535. We find a phenomenologically viable scheme for the semi-direct approach based on $Q(648)$ which contains $Δ(27)$ and the quaternion group as subgroups. This leads to novel predictions for the first column of the PMNS matrix corresponding to a normal neutrino mass hierarchy with $m_1=0$, and sum rules for the mixing angles and pha…
We propose a new anomaly-free and family nonuniversal $\mathrm{U}(1)'$ extension of the standard model with the addition of two scalar singlets and a new scalar doublet. The quark sector is extended by adding three exotic quark singlets, while the lepton sector includes two exotic charged lepton singlets, three right-handed neutrinos and three sterile Majorana leptons to obtain the fermionic mass spectrum of the standard model. The lepton sector also reproduces the elements of the PMNS matrix and the squared-mass differences data from neutrino oscillation experiments. Also, analytical relation…
In Type-I seesaw model, the lepton flavor mixing matrix (PMNS matrix) and the quark flavor mixing matrix (CKM matrix) may be connected implicitly through a relation between the neutrino Dirac Yukawa coupling $Y_D$ and the quark Yukawa couplings. In this paper, we study whether $Y_D$ can satisfy, in the flavor basis where the charged lepton Yukawa and right-handed neutrino Majorana mass matrices are diagonal, the relation $Y_D \propto {\rm diag}(y_d,y_s,y_b)V_{CKM}^T$ or $Y_D \propto {\rm diag}(y_u,y_c,y_t)V_{CKM}^*$ without contradicting the current experimental data on quarks and neutrino osc…
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- $θ_{12}, θ_{23}, θ_{13}$ and Dirac CP phase δ. We analyse our results in a special $μ$-$τ$ symmetric mass matrix which corresponds to maximal atmospheric mixing ($θ_{23}=π/4$) and maximal CP violation ($δ=-π/2$). The analysis shows that a deviation of $θ_{23}$ from its maximal value can be correlated with the prediction of other two mixing angles.
Using the density matrix equations (DME) for high scale leptogenesis based on the type I seesaw mechanism, in which the CP violation (CPV) is provided by the low-energy Dirac or/and Majorana phases of the neutrino mixing (PMNS) matrix, we investigate the 1-to-2 and the 2-to-3 flavour regime transitions, where the 1, 2 and 3 leptogenesis flavour regimes in the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe $η_B$ are described by the Boltzmann equations. Concentrating on the 1-to-2 flavour transition we determine the general conditions under which $η_B$ goes through zero and changes sign in …
We propose a special type-I seesaw scenario in which the Yukawa coupling matrix $Y^{}_ν$ can be fully reconstructed by using the light Majorana neutrino masses $m^{}_i$, the heavy Majorana neutrino masses $M^{}_i$ and the PMNS lepton flavor mixing matrix $U$. It is the RGE-induced correction to the seesaw relation that helps interpret the observed baryon-antibaryon asymmetry of the Universe via flavored resonant thermal leptogenesis with $M^{}_1 \simeq M^{}_2 \ll M^{}_3$. We show that our idea works well in either the $τ$-flavored regime with equilibrium temperature $T \simeq M^{}_1 \in (10^9,…
We interpret the neutrino anomalies in neutrino oscillation experiments and the high energy neutrino events at IceCube in terms of neutrino oscillations in an extension of the standard model where three sterile neutrinos are introduced so as to make two light neutrinos to be Pseudo-Dirac particles and a light neutrino to be a Majorana particle. Our model is different from the so-called $3+n$ model with $n$ sterile neutrinos suggested to interpret short baseline anomalies in terms of neutrino oscillations. While the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (PMNS) matrix in $3+n$ model is simply extended…
We calculate the rates of radiative $β^- \to α^- + γ$ decays for $(α, β) = (e, μ)$, $(e, τ)$ and $(μ, τ)$ by taking the {\it unitary} gauge in the $(3+n)$ active-sterile neutrino mixing scheme, and make it clear that constraints on the unitarity of the $3\times 3$ Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (PMNS) matrix $U$ extracted from $β^- \to α^- + γ$ decays in the {\it minimal unitarity violation} scheme differ from those obtained in the canonical seesaw mechanism with $n$ heavy Majorana neutrinos by a factor $5/3$. In such a natural seesaw case we show that the rates of $β^- \to α^- + γ$ can be us…
We construct a texture where the Seesaw matrix is diagonalized by the TriBiMaximal (TBM) matrix with a phase. All CKM and PMNS angles are within their pdg values, and the mass relations of quarks and charged leptons extrapolated to GUT scale are satisfied, including the Gatto relation. The novel ingredient is the asymmetry of the down-quark and charged lepton Yukawa matrices. Explaining the reactor angle requires a $\require{cancel} \cancel {CP}$ phase in the TBM matrix, resulting in the Jarlskog-Greenberg invariant at $|J|=0.028$, albeit with an undetermined sign. While $SO(10)$ restrains the…

Given the best-fit results of six neutrino oscillation parameters, we plot the Dirac and Majorana unitarity triangles (UTs) of the 3\times 3 lepton flavor mixing matrix to show their real shapes for the first time. The connections of the Majorana UTs with neutrino-antineutrino oscillations and neutrino decays are explored, and the possibilities of right or isosceles UTs are discussed. In the neutrino mass limit of m_1 \to 0 or m_3 \to 0, which is allowed by current experimental data, we show how the six triangles formed by the effective Majorana neutrino masses \langle m\rangle_{αβ} (for α, β=…
In this work we revisit the zero textures in low energy Majorana neutrino mass matrix when the active neutrino sector is extended by a light sterile neutrino in the eV scale i.e., the 3+1 scheme. In 3+1 scenario, the low energy neutrino mass matrix ($m_ν$) has ten independent elements. Thus in principle one can have minimum one-zero texture to maximum ten-zero texture. We summarize the previous results of one, two, three and four-zero textures which already exist in the literature and present our new results on five-zero textures. In our analysis we find that among six possible five-zero textu…
The canonical type-I seesaw model with three heavy Majorana neutrinos is one of the most natural extensions of the standard model (SM) to accommodate tiny Majorana masses of three ordinary neutrinos. At low-energy scales, Majorana neutrino masses and unitarity violation of lepton flavor mixing have been extensively discussed in the literature, which are respectively generated by the unique dimension-five Weinberg operator and one dimension-six operator in the seesaw effective field theory (SEFT) with the tree-level matching. In this work, we clarify that a self-consistent calculation of radiat…
In this paper, we accomplish the complete one-loop matching of the type-I seesaw model onto the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), by integrating out three heavy Majorana neutrinos with the functional approach. It turns out that only 31 dimension-six operators (barring flavor structures and Hermitian conjugates) in the Warsaw basis of the SMEFT can be obtained, and most of them appear at the one-loop level. The Wilson coefficients of these 31 dimension-six operators are computed up to $\mathcal{O}\left( M^{-2}\right)$ with $M$ being the mass scale of heavy Majorana neutrinos. As th…
There are six leptonic unitarity triangles (LUTs) defined by six orthogonality conditions of the three-family lepton flavor mixing matrix in the complex plane. In the framework of the standard model or the minimal supersymmetric standard model, the evolutions of sides and inner angles of the six LUTs from a superhigh energy scale $Λ_{\rm H}^{}$ to the electroweak scale $Λ_{\rm EW}^{}$ due to the renormalization-group equation (RGE) running are derived in the integral form for both Dirac and Majorana neutrinos. Furthermore, the LUTs as an intuitively geometrical language are applied to the desc…
