Leptonic CP Violation and Wolfenstein Parametrization for Lepton Mixing

We investigate a general structure of lepton mixing matrix resulting from the SU$_F$(3) gauge family model with an appropriate vacuum structure of SU$_F$(3) symmetry breaking. It is shown that the lepton mixing matrix can be parametrized by using the Wolfenstein parametrization method to characterize its deviation from the tri-bimaximal mixing. A general analysis for the allowed leptonic CP-violating phase $\delta_e$ and the leptonic Wolfenstein parameters $\lambda_e$, $A_e$, $\rho_e$ is carried out based on the observed lepton mixing angles. We demonstrate how the leptonic CP violation correlates to the leptonic Wolfenstein parameters. It is found that the phase $\delta_e$ is strongly constrained and only a large or nearly maximal leptonic CP-violating phase $|\delta_e| \simeq 3\pi/4 \sim \pi/2$ is favorable when $\lambda_e > 0.15$. In particular, when taking $\lambda_e$ to be the Cabbibo angle \gl_e\simeq \lambda \simeq 0.225, a sensible result for leptonic Wolfenstein parameters and CP violation is obtained with $A_e=1.40$, $\rho_e=0.20$, \delta_{e}\sim 101.76\;^o, which is compatible with the one in quark sector. An interesting correlation between leptons and quarks is observed, which indicates a possible common origin of masses and mixing for the charged-leptons and quarks.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures, sources of CP-violating phases are clarified, references adde

Positive co-degree Tur\'an number for C5C_5 and C5−C_5^{-}

The \emph{minimum positive co-degree} $\delta^{+}_{r-1}(H)$ of a non-empty $r$-graph $H$ is the maximum $k$ such that if $S$ is an $(r-1)$-set contained in a hyperedge of $H$, then $S$ is contained in at least $k$ hyperedges of $H$. For any $r$-graph $F$, the \emph{positive degree Tur\'an number} $\mathrm{co}^{+}\mathrm{ex}(n,F)$ is defined as the maximum value of $\delta^{+}_{r-1}(H)$ over all $n$-vertex $F$-free non-empty $r$-graphs $H$. In this paper, we determine the positive degree Tur\'an number for $C_5$ and $C_5^{-}$.Comment: 8 page

SU(3)FSU(3)_{F} Gauge Family Model and New Symmetry Breaking Scale From FCNC Processes

Based on the $SU(3)_{F}$ gauge family symmetry model which was proposed to explain the observed mass and mixing pattern of neutrinos, we investigate the symmetry breaking, the mixing pattern in quark and lepton sectors, and the contribution of the new gauge bosons to some flavour changing neutral currents (FCNC) processes at low energy. With the current data of the mass differences in the neutral pseudo-scalar $P^{0}-\bar{P}^{0}$ systems, we find that the $SU(3)_{F}$ symmetry breaking scale can be as low as 300TeV and the mass of the lightest gauge boson be about $100$TeV. Other FCNC processes, such as the lepton flavour number violation process $\mu^{-}\rightarrow e^{-}e^{+}e^{-}$ and the semi-leptonic rare decay $K\rightarrow \pi \bar{\nu} \nu$, contain contributions via the new gauge bosons exchanging. With the constrains got from $P^0-\bar{P}^0$ system, we estimate that the contribution of the new physics is around $10^{-16}$, far below the current experimental bounds.Comment: 3figure
