Connecting Tribimaximal and Bitrimaximal Mixings

Abstract

In this paper, we study the connection between the tribimaximal and bitrimaximal mixing patterns. In doing so, we are forced to work in a non-diagonal charged lepton basis. This leads to several relations that must hold between the lepton mixing angles. After a short discussion, we analyze the underlying flavor symmetry responsible for this prediction. Finally, we add CP violation to bitrimaximal mixing and study its effect on the flavor symmetry group.
