Majorana Phases and Leptogenesis in See-Saw Models with A_4 Symmetry

Abstract

The related issues of Majorana CP violation in the lepton sector and leptogenesis are investigated in detail in two rather generic supersymmetric models with type I see-saw mechanism of neutrino mass generation and A_4 flavour symmetry, which naturally lead at leading order to tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing. The neutrino sector in this class of models is described at leading order by just two real parameters and one phase. This leads, in particular, to significant low energy constraints on the Majorana phases α_{21} and α_{31} in the PMNS matrix, which play the role of leptogenesis CP violating parameters in the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We find that it is possible to generate the correct size and sign of the baryon asymmetry in both A_4 models. The sign of the baryon asymmetry is directly related to the signs of sinα_{21} and/or sinα_{31}.
