Non-diagonal charged lepton mass matrix, the TBM and non-zero $\theta_{13}$

Abstract

Assuming that the neutrino mass matrix is diagonalized by the TBM, we looked for the charged lepton mass matrix textures which render a lepton mixing matrix consistent with data. We were interested in the textures with the maximum number of zeros, so, we explored the cases of real matrices with three (and also four zeros) and found which of them provide solutions in agreement with data. We present the successful Yukawa textures and obtained the relative sizes of their non-zero entries. We found some interesting relations among the entries of these textures in terms of the charged lepton masses.
