Lifting degenerate neutrino masses, threshold corrections and maximal mixing

Abstract

In the scenario with degenerate neutrino masses at tree-level, we show how threshold corrections with either non-trivial or trivial mixing at tree-level have the power to generate the observed deviations from a degenerate spectrum. Moreover, it is possible to also generate the mixing fully radiatively when there is trivial mixing at tree-level. We give a brief overview over the topic and discuss the outcome of threshold corrections for degenerate neutrino masses in a supersymmetric model. A detailed description can be found in [arXiv:1412.4585].
