Neutrino Mass Matrix Subject to $\mu-\tau$ Symmetry and Invariant under a Cyclic Permutation

Abstract

Neutrino masses arise via a seesaw mechanism and its mass hierarchy, with assumption that heavy Majorana neutrino mass matrix subject to $\mu-\tau$ symmetry and invariant under a cyclic permutation, are evaluated. Within this scenario, the neutrino masses: $\left|m_{1}\right|=\left|m_{2}\right|<\left|m_{3}\right|$ are obtained, which are incompatible with the experimental data. By modifying neutrino mass matrix with the zero sum rule condition, the neutrino masses in inverted hierarchy: $\left|m_{3}\right|<\left|m_{1}\right|<\left|m_{2}\right|$ are obtained.
