Lepton Mixing Predictions including Majorana Phases from Δ(6n2)Δ(6n^2) Flavour Symmetry and Generalised CP

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

Generalised CP transformations are the only known framework which allows to predict Majorana phases in a flavour model purely from symmetry. For the first time generalised CP transformations are investigated for an infinite series of finite groups, Δ(6n2)=(Zn×Zn)⋊S3Δ(6n^2)=(Z_n\times Z_n)\rtimes S_3. In direct models the mixing angles and Dirac CP phase are solely predicted from symmetry. Δ(6n2)Δ(6n^2) flavour symmetry provides many examples of viable predictions for mixing angles. For all groups the mixing matrix has a trimaximal middle column and the Dirac CP phase is 0 or ππ. The Majorana phases are predicted from residual flavour and CP symmetries where α21α_{21} can take several discrete values for each nn and the Majorana phase α31α_{31} is a multiple of ππ. We discuss constraints on the groups and CP transformations from measurements of the neutrino mixing angles and from neutrinoless double-beta decay and find that predictions for mixing angles and all phases are accessible to experiments in the near future.
