Dihedral flavor group as the key to understand quark and lepton flavor mixing

Abstract

We have studied the lepton and quark mixing patterns which can be derived from the dihedral group $D_n$ in combination with CP symmetry. The left-handed lepton and quark doublets are assigned to the direct sum of a singlet and a doublet of $D_n$. A unified description of the observed structure of the quark and lepton mixing can be achieved if the flavor group $D_n$ and CP are broken to $Z_2\times CP$ in neutrino, charged lepton, up quark and down quark sectors, and the minimal group is $D_{14}$. We also consider another scenario in which the residual symmetry of the charged lepton and up quark sector is $Z_2$ while $Z_2\times CP$ remains preserved by the neutrino and down quark mass matrices. Then $D_7$ can give the experimentally favored values of CKM and PMNS mixing matrices.
