Abstract We propose an A4 modular invariant flavor model of leptons, in which both CP and modular symmetries are broken spontaneously by the vacuum expectation value of the modulus τ. The value of the modulus τ is restricted by the observed lepton mixing angles and lepton masses for the normal hierarchy of neutrino masses. The predictive Dirac CP phase δCP is in the ranges [0°, 50°], [170°, 175°] and [280°, 360°] for Re [τ] < 0, and [0°, 80°], [185°, 190°] and [310°, 360°] for Re [τ] > 0. The sum of three neutrino masses is predicted in [60, 84] meV, and the effective mass for the 0νββ decay is in [0.003, 3] meV. The modulus τ links the Dirac CP phase to the cosmological baryon asymmetry (BAU) via the leptogenesis. Due to the strong wash-out effect, the predictive baryon asymmetry YB can be at most the same order of the observed value. Then, the lightest right-handed neutrino mass is restricted in the range of M1 = [1.5, 6.5] × 1013 GeV. We find the correlation between the predictive YB and the Dirac CP phase δCP. Only two predictive δCP ranges, [5°, 40°] (Re [τ] > 0) and [320°, 355°] (Re [τ] < 0) are consistent with the BAU.

Cp Symmetry

Abstract We discuss the modular A4 invariant model of leptons combining with the generalized CP symmetry. In our model, both CP and modular symmetries are broken spontaneously by the vacuum expectation value of the modulus τ. The source of the CP violation is a non-trivial value of Re[τ] while other parameters of the model are real. The allowed region of τ is in very narrow one close to the fixed point τ = i for both normal hierarchy (NH) and inverted ones (IH) of neutrino masses. The CP violating Dirac phase δCP is predicted clearly in [98°, 110°] and [250°, 262°] for NH at 3 σ confidence level. On the other hand, δCP is in [95°, 100°] and [260°, 265°] for IH at 5 σ confidence level. The predicted ∑mi is in [82, 102] meV for NH and ∑mi = [134, 180] meV for IH. The effective mass 〈mee〉 for the 0νββ decay is predicted in [12.5, 20.5] meV and [54, 67] meV for NH and IH, respectively.

The Masses

In this work we consider a left–right model containing mirror fermions with gauge group SU (3)C ⊗ SU (2)L ⊗ SU (2)R ⊗ U (1)Y′. The model has several free parameters which here we have calculated by using the recent values for the squared-neutrino mass differences. Lower bound for the mirror vacuum expectation value helped us to obtain crude estimations for some of these parameters. Also we estimate the order of magnitude of the masses of the standard and mirror neutrinos and numerical values for neutrino mixing angles.

Abstract We propose simple scoto-seesaw models to account for dark matter and neutrino masses with spontaneous CP violation. This is achieved with a single horizontal $$ {\mathcal{Z}}_8 $$ Z 8 discrete symmetry, broken to a residual $$ {\mathcal{Z}}_2 $$ Z 2 subgroup responsible for stabilizing dark matter. CP is broken spontaneously via the complex vacuum expectation value of a scalar singlet, inducing leptonic CP-violating effects. We find that the imposed $$ {\mathcal{Z}}_8 $$ Z 8 symmetry pushes the values of the Dirac CP phase and the lightest neutrino mass to ranges already probed by ongoing experiments, so that normal-ordered neutrino masses can be cornered by cosmological observations and neutrinoless double beta decay experiments.

We present aspects of a model which attempts to unify the creation of cold dark matter, a CP-violating baryon asymmetry, and also a small, residual vacuum energy density, in the early universe. The model contains a primary scalar (inflaton) field and a primary pseudoscalar field, which are initially related by a cosmological, chiral symmetry. The nonzero vacuum expectation value of the pseudoscalar field spontaneously breaks CP invariance.

Internal Symmetries

Noethers theorem shows that continuous global symmetries lead classically to conservation laws. Such symmetries can be divided into spacetime and internal symmetries. The invariance of Minkowski space-time under global Poincaré transformations leads to the conservation of the four-momentum and the total angular momentum. Examples for conserved charges due to internal symmetries are electric and colour charge. The vacuum expectation value of a Noether current is shown to beconserved in a quantum field theory if the symmetry transformation keeps the path-integral measure invariant.

Wave Solutions

We consider a tachyon field whose Fourier components correspond to spatial momenta with modulus smaller than the mass parameter. The plane wave solutions have then a time evolution which is a real exponential. The field is quantized and the solution of the eigenvalue problem for the Hamiltonian leads to the evaluation of the vacuum expectation value of products of field operators. The propagator turns out to be half-advanced and half-retarded. This completes the proof4 that the total propagator is the Wheeler Green function.4,7

In a conical spacetime, we determine the twisted Euclidean Green’s function for a massive scalar field. In particular, we give a convenient form for studying the vacuum averages. We then derive an integral expression of the vacuum expectation value <Φ2(x)>. In the Minkowski spacetime, we express <Φ2(x)> in terms of elementary functions.

Functional Solution

The vacuum expectation value of the S-matrix is represented, following HORI, as a functional integral and separated according to Svac=exp( — i W) ∫ D φ exp( —i ∫ dx Lw). Now, the functional integral involves only the part Lw of the Lagrangian without derivatives and can be easily calculated in lattice space. We propose a graphical scheme which formalizes the action of the operator W = f dx dy δ (x—y) (δ/δ(y))⬜x(δ/δ(x)) . The scheme is worked out in some detail for the calculation of the two-point-function of neutral BOSE fields with the self-interaction λ φM for even M. A method is proposed which under certain convergence assumptions should yield in a finite number of steps the lowest mass eigenvalues and the related matrix elements. The method exhibits characteristic differences between renormalizable and nonrenormalizable theories.
