New partial symmetries from group algebras for lepton mixing (Q2176902)

Summary: Recent stringent experiment data of neutrino oscillations induces partial symmetries such as \(Z_2\) and \(Z_2\times\text{CP}\) to derive lepton mixing patterns. New partial symmetries expressed with elements of group algebras are studied. A specific lepton mixing pattern could correspond to a set of equivalent elements of a group algebra. The transformation which interchanges the elements could express a residual \(\text{CP}\) symmetry. Lepton mixing matrices from \(S_3\) group algebras are of the trimaximal form with the \(\mu-\tau\) reflection symmetry. Accordingly, elements of \(S_3\) group algebras are equivalent to \(Z_2\times\text{CP}\). Comments on \(S_4\) group algebras are given. The predictions of \(Z_2\times\text{CP}\) broken from the group \(S_4\) with the generalized \(\text{CP}\) symmetry are also obtained from elements of \(S_4\) group algebras.
