Neutrino Mixing and CP Phase Correlations

Abstract

A special form of the $3 \times 3$ Majorana neutrino mass matrix derivable from $\mu - \tau$ interchange symmetry accompanied by a generalized $CP$ transformation was obtained many years ago. It predicts $\theta_{23} = \pi/4$ as well as $\delta_{CP} = \pm \pi/2$, with $\theta_{13} \neq 0$. Whereas this is consistent with present data, we explore a deviation of this result which occurs naturally in a recent proposed model of radiative inverse seesaw neutrino mass.
