TFH mixing patterns, large image and image flavor symmetry Original Research Article

We perform a comprehensive analysis of the Toorop–Feruglio–Hagedorn (TFH) mixing patterns within the family symmetry image. The general neutrino mass matrix for the TFH mixing and its symmetry properties are investigated. The possible realizations of the TFH mixing in image are analyzed in the minimalist approach. We propose two dynamical models which produce the TFH mixing patterns at leading order. The full flavor symmetries are image and image respectively. The next to leading order terms introduce corrections of order image to the three mixing angles in both models. The allowed mixing patterns are studied under the condition that the Klein four subgroups and the cyclic image subgroups with image are preserved in the neutrino and the charged lepton sector respectively. We suggest that the deformed tri-bimaximal mixing is a good leading order approximation to understanding a largish reactor angle.
