Non-holomorphic $S^{\prime}_{4}$ modular symmetry for leptons and leptogenesis

We perform a comprehensive and systematic investigation of lepton models based on the non-holomorphic $S^{\prime}_{4}$ modular symmetry, by using level 4 polyharmonic Maaß forms spanning integer weights from $-4$ to $6$. The light neutrino masses are generated by the type-I seesaw mechanism with two right-handed neutrinos, no flavon fields other than the modulus $τ$ is introduced, and the generalized CP symmetry is not imposed. An exhaustive numerical analysis yields 36 viable models with only four real couplings besides the modulus $τ$ when neutrino masses are normal ordering. They are classified into three categories, each containing twelve models which yield quite similar predictions for lepton observables and are distinguished by the assignment of $E^c_1$. Furthermore, we perform a detailed numerical analysis for one representative model from each category. These representative models are found to yield very sharp predictions for neutrino masses and mixing parameters, and they are distinguished by the predictions for the atmospheric mixing angle $θ_{23}$, the Dirac CP phase $δ_{CP}$ and the Majorana CP phase $α_{21}$. Furthermore, we find that only two of these three representative models accommodate successful thermal leptogenesis in the unflavored regime, reproducing the observed baryon asymmetry with the identical parameter values that satisfy neutrino oscillation data. In these models, the real part of the modulus $τ$ is the unique source of CP violation in both lepton mixing and leptogenesis.

Minimal lepton models with non-holomorphic modular $A_{4}$ symmetry

We present a comprehensive bottom-up analysis of lepton mass and mixing based on the non-holomorphic $A_{4}$ modular symmetry. Neutrinos are assumed to be Majorana particles and the light neutrino masses are generated through the Weinberg operator. In this framework, we construct all phenomenologically viable models with minimal number of free parameters, where the Yukawa couplings are expressed in terms of polyharmonic Maaß forms of weights $\pm4$, $\pm2$ and $0$ at level $N=3$. Without imposing generalized CP (gCP) symmetry, we identify 147 (6) viable models with seven real free parameters that successfully reproduce the current experimental data of lepton sector for the normal (inverted) mass ordering. When gCP symmetry consistent with $A_{4}$ modular symmetry is included, the number of free parameters is reduced by one, yielding 47 (5) phenomenologically viable models in the normal (inverted) mass ordering. Finally, we present detailed numerical analyses of a representative model for both mass orderings to illustrate these results.

Neutrino mixing parameters and masses from $Δ(96)\rtimes H_{CP}$ in the tri-direct CP approach

We present a comprehensive model independent analysis of all breaking patterns resulting from $Δ(96)\rtimes H_{CP}$ in the tri-direct CP approach of the minimal seesaw model with two right-handed neutrinos. The three generations of left-handed lepton doublets are assumed to transform as the irreducible triplet $\bm{3_{0}}$ of $Δ(96)$, and the two right-handed neutrinos are assigned to singlets. In the case that both flavon fields $ϕ_{\text{atm}}$ and $ϕ_{\text{sol}}$ transform as triplet $\bm{\bar{3}_{0}}$, only one phenomenologically viable lepton mixing pattern is obtained for normal ordering neutrino masses. The lepton mixing matrix is predicted to be the TM1 pattern, with neutrino masses, mixing angles, and CP violation phases depending on only three real input parameters. When $ϕ_{\text{sol}}$ is assigned to the $\bm{\bar{3}_{1}}$ representation, an additional real parameter $x$ must be included. Then we find 42 (12) independent phenomenologically interesting mixing patterns for normal (inverted) ordering neutrino masses, and the corresponding predictions for lepton mixing parameters and neutrino masses are obtained. Furthermore, we perform a detailed numerical analysis for five (one) example breaking patterns with some benchmark values of $x$ for normal (inverted) ordering. For the five normal examples, the absolute values of the first columns of the PMNS matrix are fixed to be $\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\right)^{T}$, $\frac{1}{5}\left(\sqrt{17},2,2\right)^{T}$, $\frac{1}{\sqrt{38}}\left(5,2,3\right)^{T}$, $\frac{1}{\sqrt{57}}\left(\sqrt{37},\sqrt{10},\sqrt{10}\right)^{T}$ and $\frac{1}{3}\left(\sqrt{6},1,\sqrt{2}\right)^{T}$, respectively. For the inverted example, the absolute value of the third column of the PMNS matrix is $\frac{1}{2\sqrt{11}}\left(1,5,3\sqrt{2}\right)^{T}$.
