Theory Review of Neutrino Models and CP Violation

Abstract

Although the measurement of the reactor angle has killed tribimaximal lepton mixing, its descendants survive with charged lepton corrections, or in less constrained forms such as trimaximal mixing and/or mu-tau symmetry, each with characteristic predictions. Such patterns may be enforced by a remnant of some non-Abelian discrete family symmetry, possibly together with a generalised CP symmetry, which could originate from continuous gauge symmetry and/or superstring theory in compactified extra dimensions, as a finite subgroup of the modular symmetry.
