Lowering solar mixing angle in inverted hierarchy without charged lepton corrections
In the present work, the inverted hierarchical neutrino mass model which is
characterised by opposite CP parity in the first two mass eigenvalues
, is studied in order to lower the predicted value of solar
mixing angle , from the tri-bimaximal mixing (TBM), without
sacrificing the conditions of maximal atmospheric mixing angle and zero reactor
angle. The present attempt is different from the earlier approach where the
correction from the charged lepton mass matrix is included in the leptonic
mixing matrix to lower the prediction on solar mixing angle. The lowering of
the solar mixing angle without charged lepton correction, can be obtained
through the variation of the input value of a flavour twister term present in
the texture of neutrino mass matrix having a 2-3 symmetry. The present analysis
agrees with the latest experimental bounds on neutrino mass parameters and also
represents an important result on the survival of the inverted hierarchical
neutrino mass models having opposite CP parity in the first two eigenvalues.Comment: 10 pages, two figures. Accepted for publication in Journal of Physics

Deviation from tri-bimaximal mixings in two types of inverted hierarchical neutrino mass models
An attempt is made to explore the possibility for deviations of solar mixing
angle () from tri-bimaximal mixings, without sacrificing the
predictions of maximal atmospheric mixing angle () and zero
reactor angle (). We find that the above conjecture can be
automatically realised in the inverted hierarchical neutrino mass model having
2-3 symmetry, in the basis where charged lepton mass matrix is diagonal. For
the observed ranges of and \bigtriangleup m^2_{23],
we calculate the predictions on for
different input values of the parameters in the neutrino mass matrix. We also
observe a possible crossing over from one type of inverted hierarchical model
having same CP parity (Type-IHA) to other type having opposite CP parity
(Type-IHB). Such neutrino mass matrices can be obtained from the canonical
seesaw formula using diagonal form of Dirac neutrino mass matrix and
non-diagonal texture of right-handed Majorana mass matrix, and may have
important implications in model building using discrete as well as non-abelian
symmetry groups.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figure
