Magic Neutrino Mass Matrix and the Bjorken-Harrison-Scott Parameterization

Abstract

Observed neutrino mixing can be described by a tribimaximal MNS matrix. The resulting neutrino mass matrix in the basis of a diagonal charged lepton mass matrix is both 2-3 symmetric and magic. By a magic matrix, I mean one whose row sums and column sums are all identical. I study what happens if 2-3 symmetry is broken but the magic symmetry is kept intact. In that case, the mixing matrix is parameterized by a single complex parameter $U_{e3}$, in a form discussed recently by Bjorken, Harrison, and Scott.
