Implications of CP invariants for the flavored hybrid neutrino mass matrix

Abstract

Abstract We re-examine the weak basis invariants at low energies proposed by C. Jarlskog and Branco et al. in their earlier analyses, after confronting them with the assumptions of two zeros and an equality between arbitrary non-zero elements in the Majorana neutrino mass matrix in the flavored basis. This particular conjecture is found to be experimentally feasible, as shown by S. Dev and D. Raj in their recent work. The present analysis attempts to find the necessary and sufficient condition for CP invariance for each experimentally viable ansatz pertaining to the model, along with some important implications.
