A Novel Parametrization of tau-lepton Dominance and Simplified One-loop Renormalization-group Equations of Neutrino Mixing Angles and CP-violating Phases

Abstract

We point out that the $\tau$-lepton dominance in the one-loop renormalization-group (RG) equations of neutrino mixing quantities allows us to set a criterion to choose the most suitable parametrization of the lepton flavor mixing matrix $U$: its elements $U_{3i}^{}$ (for $i=1,2,3$) should be as simple as possible. Such a novel parametrization is quite different from the "standard" one used in the literature and can lead to greatly simplified RG equations for three mixing angles and the physical CP-violating phase(s) in the standard model or its minimal supersymmetric extension, no matter whether neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana particles. Some important features of our analytical results and their phenomenological consequences are also discussed.
