Title: Large leptonic Dirac CP phase from broken democracy with random perturbations

Abstract

A large value of the leptonic Dirac CP phase can arise from broken democracy, where the mass matrices are democratic up to small random perturbations. Such perturbations are a natural consequence of broken residual S 3 symmetries that dictate the democratic mass matrices at leading order. With random perturbations, the leptonic Dirac CP phase has a higher probability to attain a value around ± π / 2 . Comparing with the anarchy model, broken democracy can benefit from residual S 3 symmetries, and it can produce much better, realistic predictions for the mass hierarchy, mixing angles, and Dirac CP phase in both quark and lepton sectors. Our approach provides a general framework for a class of models in which a residual symmetry determines the general features at leading order, and where, in the absence of other fundamental principles, the symmetry breaking appears in the form of random perturbations.

Fig. 1. Fig. 1. : The prediction of the charged lepton masses (Left), the neutrino mixing angles (Middle), and the leptonic Dirac CP phase $\delta$D (Right) by random perturbations to the democratic mass matrix. While the phases$\phi$$i j$ are randomly sampled in the whole range [0, 2$π$ ], the deviation magnitudes aremore » randomly distributed in the range 0 ≤ $ϵ$$i j$ ≤ 0.2 (medium) or 0 ≤ $ϵ$$i j$ ≤ 0.4 (thick). For comparison, the prediction of mixing angles and the Dirac CP phase from the anarchy mass matrix is shown by thick curves with different colors. (For interpretation of the colors in the figure(s), the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)« less
