Neutrino mu-tau reflection symmetry and its breaking in the minimal seesaw

In this paper, we attempt to implement the neutrino $\mu$-$\tau$ reflection symmetry (which predicts $\theta^{}_{23} = \pi/4$ and $\delta = \pm \pi/2$ as well as trivial Majorana phases) in the minimal seesaw (which enables us to fix the neutrino masses). For some direct (the preliminary experimental hints towards $\theta^{}_{23} \neq \pi/4$ and $\delta \neq - \pi/2$) and indirect (inclusion of the renormalization group equation effect and implementation of the leptogenesis mechanism) reasons, we particularly study the breakings of this symmetry and their phenomenological consequences.Comment: 20 pages, 7 figures, accepted for publication in JHE

In the title complex, {[Cd(C9H8NO4)2(H2O)2]·4H2O}n, the CdII atom (site symmetry 2) is coordinated by six O atoms from four crystallographically related 1-(1,2-dicarboxyl­ate)pyridin-1-ium ligands (L) and from two water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. Paired L ligands connect CdII atoms into a chain motif parallel to [001], which is further inter­linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional supra­molecular net
