Large CP Violation, Large Mixings of Neutrinos and the $Z_3$ Symmetry

Abstract

We present neutrino mass matrices which predict the atmospheric neutrino mixing to be almost maximal, $\sin^2 2\theta_{atm}>0.999$, as well as the large solar neutrino mixing, $8/9>\sin^2 2\theta_{sol}>0.87$, and the large CP violation (the CP violation phase in the standard form is maximal $\delta=\pi/2$), based on the $Z_3$ symmetry.
