Flavor Mixing and the Permutation Symmetry among Generations

In the standard model, the permutation symmetry among the three generations of fundamental fermions is usually regarded to be broken by the Higgs couplings. It is found that the symmetry is restored if we include the mass matrix parameters as physical variables which transform appropriately under the symmetry operation. Known relations between these variables, such as the renormalization group equations, as well as formulas for neutrino oscillations (in vacuum and in matter), are shown to be covariant tensor equations under the permutation symmetry group.Comment: 12 page

Rephasing invariance and neutrino mixing

A rephasing invariant parametrization is introduced for three flavor neutrino mixing. For neutrino propagation in matter, these parameters are shown to obey evolution equations as functions of the induced neutrino mass. These equations are found to preserve (approximately) some characteristic features of the mixing matrix, resulting in solutions which exhibit striking patterns as the induced mass varies. The approximate solutions are compared to numerical integrations and found to be quite accurate.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figure

Renormalization of the Neutrino Mass Matrix

In terms of a rephasing invariant parametrization, the set of renormalization group equations (RGE) for Dirac neutrino parameters can be cast in a compact and simple form. These equations exhibit manifest symmetry under flavor permutations. We obtain both exact and approximate RGE invariants, in addition to some approximate solutions and examples of numerical solutions.Comment: 15 pages, 1figur

Properties of the Neutrino Mixing Matrix

For neutrino mixing we propose to use the parameter set $X_{i}$ $(=|V_{ei}|^{2})$ and $\Omega_{i}$ $(=\epsilon_{ijk}|V_{\mu j}|^{2}|V_{\tau k}|^{2})$, with two constraints. These parameters are directly measurable since the neutrino oscillation probabilities are quadratic functions of them. Physically, the set $\Omega_{i}$ signifies a quantitative measure of $\mu-\tau$ asymmetry. Available neutrino data indicate that all the $\Omega_{i}$'s are small $(\lesssim O(10^{-1}))$, but with large uncertainties. The behavior of $\Omega_{i}$ as functions of the induced neutrino mass in matter are found to be simple, which should facilitate the analyses of long baseline experiments.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figure
