Spontaneous CP violation from vacuum alignment in $S_4$ models of leptons

Abstract

We construct models of leptons based on $S_4$ family symmetry combined with a generalised CP symmetry $H_{CP}$. We show how the flavon potential can spontaneously break the symmetry $S_4⋊H_{CP}$ down to $Z_2\times H_{CP}^{\nu }$ in the neutrino sector, where the choice of preserved CP symmetry $H_{CP}^{\nu }$ is controlled by free (real) parameters in the flavon potential. We propose two realistic models of this kind, one at the effective level and one at the renormalisable level. Both models predict trimaximal lepton mixing with CP being either fully preserved or maximally broken, with the intermediate possibility forbidden by the structure of the models.
