Spontaneous CP Violation in A4A_4 Flavor Symmetry and Leptogenesis

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We propose a simple renormalizable model for the spontaneous CP violation based on SU(2)L×U(1)Y×A4SU(2)_{L}\times U(1)_{Y}\times A_{4} symmetry in a radiative seesaw mechanism, which can be guaranteed by an extra Z2Z_{2} symmetry. In our model CP is spontaneously broken at high energies, after breaking of flavor symmetry, by a complex vacuum expectation value of A4A_{4}-triplet and gauge singlet scalar field. We show that the spontaneously generated CP phase could become a natural source of leptogenesis, %CP violation for neutrino oscillation and leptogenesis, respectively. Then, and also investigate CP violation at low energies in the lepton sector and show how the CP phases in PMNS could be arisen through spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism. As a numerical study, interestingly, we show that the normal mass hierarchy favors relatively large values of θ13θ_{13}, large deviations from maximality of θ23<π/4θ_{23}<π/4 and Dirac-CP phase 0∘≤δCP≤50∘0^{\circ}\leqδ_{CP}\leq50^{\circ} and 300∘≤δCP≤360∘300^{\circ}\leqδ_{CP}\leq360^{\circ}. For the inverted hierarchy case, the experimentally measured values of θ13θ_{13} favors θ23>π/4θ_{23}>π/4 and discrete values of δCPδ_{CP} around 100∘,135∘,255∘100^{\circ},135^{\circ},255^{\circ} and 300∘300^{\circ}. Finally, with a successful leptogenesis our numerical results give more predictive values on the Dirac CP phase: for the normal mass hierarchy 1∘≲δCP≲10∘1^{\circ}\lesssimδ_{CP}\lesssim10^{\circ} and for inverted one δCP∼100∘,135∘,300∘δ_{CP}\sim100^{\circ},135^{\circ},300^{\circ}.
