Abstract: We study the possible magnitudes of CP and lepton-number-violating quan- 0
tities in specific GUT models of massive neutrinos with different Abelian flavour groups, 5
taking into account experimental constraints and requiring successful leptogenesis. We 2
discuss SU(5) and flipped SU(5) models that are consistent with the present data on neu-
trino mixingandupperlimits onthe violations of charged-lepton flavours and exploretheir
predictions for the CP-violating oscillation and Majorana phases. In particular, we discuss
string-derived flipped SU(5) models with selection rules that modify the GUT structure
and provide additional constraints on the operators, which are able to account for the
magnitudes of some of the coefficients that are often set as arbitrary parameters in generic
Abelian models.

In recent years, several experiments have provided convincing evidence for neutrino oscil-
5
lations [1–5], together with important information on the neutrino mass differences and
2
mixing angles [6]. It has now been established that the atmospheric neutrino mixing angle,
θ , is large, witha central value π/4, sothat 0.31 sin2θ 0.72. Thesolar MSWan-

The existence of neutrino masses and oscillations may have further consequences. For
example, thedecays ofheavy neutrinosmay lead toleptogenesis, whichwouldimposeaddi-
tionalconstraintsonCP-violatingphasesandonthemagnitudesofcertainneutrinoYukawa
couplings [9]. These should be large enough to generate a sufficient net lepton number,
but not above the value that would erase any generated asymmetry through equilibriation
effects. Also, mixing in the charged-lepton sector is enhanced by radiative corrections in
supersymmetric models that mix the sleptons, contributing via loop diagrams to rare de-
cays and flavour conversions [10, 11]. The rates for such processes mediated by sparticles
may be large and close to the current experimental bounds in many supersymmetric mod-
els. Moreover, the possibility of CP-violation is crucial in this analysis [12] and additional J

As we discuss below, the predictions for these additional parameters vary in differ-
ent models. However, there are also several correlations. A combined analysis, using all 7
available processes, could give significant constraints on models, and even exclude certain (
classes of models. The joint study of phases, CP and lepton-flavour violation is a central
2
issue in this programme, and its better understanding is the central goal of this work.

The fact that the fermion mass matrices exhibit a hierarchical structure suggests that
0
they are generated by an underlying flavour symmetry for which the simplest possibility
would be an Abelian family symmetry. In such a case, one can parametrize the charges of 7
the Standard Model fields under the symmetry as in table 1. The Higgs charges are chosen )
so that the terms f fcH (where f stands for a generic fermion, the subscript 3 denotes the
3 3 0
thirdfamily,andH denoteseitherH orH )havezeronetchargewhereasothertermshave

5
non-zero charges. Then, in general only the (3,3) element of the associated mass matrix
2
will be non-zero as long as the U(1) symmetry remains unbroken. The remaining matrix
elements may be generated when the U(1) symmetry is spontaneously broken [13, 14] by
fields θ, θ¯that are singlets of the Standard Model gauge group, with U(1) charges that are
in most cases taken to be 1, respectively. Here we assume them to have equal vacuum
±
expectation values (vev’s). The suppression factor for each entry depends on the family
charge: the higher the net U(1) charge of a term f fcH, the higher the power n in the

non-renormalisable term f fcH hθi n or hθ¯i n that has zero charge, where M is a

are not suppressed, because they have no net charge.
Whilst such a family symmetry provides a promising origin for a hierarchical pattern
of fermion masses, in order to go further it is necessary to specify the charges of the
quarks, charged leptons and neutrinos [15]. In principle, one can fit the observed masses
and mixing angles by choices of flavour charges that are not constrained by additional

symmetries. However, the structure of the Standard Model is suggestive of an underlying
unification relating quark and lepton multiplets, as occurs in various GUT models. In such
a case, it is important to try to understand the different mass and mixing patterns and
othercorrelationspredictedbydifferentGUTs,andtheresultingpatternsofCPandlepton-
flavour violation in particular. This is the primary focus of this paper. Since particles in
the same multiplet of a GUT group have the same charge, the predictions and correlations
between observables willin general bedifferentfor different GUTs and charge assignments. J
A crucial question when studying flavour symmetries is whether these are indeed H
Abelian, as described above, or non-Abelian. In the case of an Abelian flavour symmetry,

and apparently more natural neutrino models to large mass hierarchies and unacceptably
small solar mixing, which is correlated with the hierarchies of charged-lepton masses [16]. 7
Large solar mixing, as required by the experimental data, has therefore to arise either from (
the right-handed neutrino sector (as may arise, for instance, in see-saw models with domi-
2
nance by a single right-handed singlet neutrino, and other zero-determinant solutions), or
0
by imposing more U(1) symmetries and/or introducing more fields. However, this strat-

egy introduces additional model dependence and loses predictivity. On the other hand,
large atmospheric mixing is naturally predicted in a wide class of Abelian models, and 7
non-Abelian flavour symmetries typically predict naturally large angles for both solar and )
atmospheric neutrinos [17, 18].
0
Since there is no charge quantisation in Abelian groups, contrary to the non-Abelian
5
case, the symmetry cannot determine alone the numerical values of the mass-matrix ele-
2
ments and hence the mixing angles and phases. Nevertheless, information on the phases
and values of the coefficients can be inferred phenomenologically, and individual Abelian
models may be used to make interesting qualitative predictions, just as they have for the
mixing angles, based on the powers of the small parameters θ /M, θ¯ /M that are allowed
h i h i
by the symmetries. However, any predictivity requires the existence of stable solutions
where a small change in the parameters does not change drastically the predictions. Non-
Abelian symmetries are more predictive in this respect. However, once the symmetry is
broken (as is required to generate large lepton mass hierarchies) this predictivity is to a
certain extent lost. Even in this case, therefore, the phases are derived by a combination
of theoretical and phenomenological considerations, again in a model-dependent way.
The fact that neutrinos have masses and mix with each other like quarks also im-
plies that, in principle, we can expect non-negligible CP-violation in the neutrino sector.
This may manifest itself in several different ways in low-energy neutrino physics, including
– 3 –
the Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (MNS) oscillation phase δ and two possible Majorana phases.
Additional phases arise in extensions of the light-neutrino sector to include either heavy
singlet neutrinos and/or charged leptons. For example, even the minimal three-generation
see-saw model has 6 independent CP-violating phases, and leptogenesis is independent of
the light-neutrino phases, in particular. On the other hand, some of the phases on which
leptogenesis does depend may in principle be observable in the charged-lepton sector, in
the presence of low-energy supersymmetry. As we discuss below, these observables may
take very different values in classes of models that fit the present neutrino data equally
well.
The structure of this paper is as follows. In section 2 we discuss the neutrino and
charged-lepton observables for which we investigate the predictions of various GUTs with
Abelian flavour symmetries. The specific GUT models and their predictions are discussed
in section 3. Our conclusions are set out in section 4, and appendices present details of the
J
specific GUTs studied.

2.2 Leptogenesis
The textures of neutrino Yukawa couplings may be constrained by the requirement of suc-
cessful leptogenesis [21], which requires obtaining the correct magnitude of lepton-flavour
violation (LFV) in the decays of heavy, right-handed Majorana neutrinos via a difference
between the branching ratios (BR) for heavy-neutrino decays into leptons and antileptons:
BR(Nc Φ+ℓ) = BR(Nc Φ+ℓ).
L → 6 L →
Since non-perturbative lepton- and baryon-number-violating interactions mediated by
sphalerons are in thermal equilibrium up to the time of the electroweak phase transition,
1In order to calculate mixing angles and CP-violating phases in an automated way, we analyze the
different models using thepackage REAP [20].

a non-zero lepton number gives rise to a non-zero baryon number, by sharing the lepton
asymmetry ∆L = 0 with a baryon asymmetry ∆B = 0.

Inordertoavoidwashoutoftheinitialdecay asymmetrybyperturbativedecay, inverse
decay and scattering interactions, the model must satisfy an out-of-equilibrium condition,
namely that the heavy-neutrino decay rate is smaller than the Hubble parameter H at
temperatures of the order of the right handed neutrino masses. The tree-level width of the
heavy neutrino N with mass M is: Γ = [(λ†λ) /8π]M , which should be compared with

2.3 Charged-lepton-flavour violation
In the context of low-energy supersymmetry, mixing in the neutrino sector also gener-
ates mixing in the sleptons via loop corrections, contributing to rare decays and lepton-
flavour conversions. We evaluate these effects in the context of the CMSSM, where the
soft supersymmetry-breaking masses of the charged and neutral sleptons are assumed to
be universal at the GUT scale, and may be written in diagonal form with a common value
m . Off-diagonal entries in the slepton mass matrix m2 are then generated radiatively by
0 L˜
the renormalization-group evolution from the GUT scale M .

3. GUTs with abelian flavour symmetries
As mentioned in the Introduction, we focus in this work on Abelian flavour symmetries,

Abelian symmetries is a first step towards the understanding of non-Abelian symmetries.
Indeed, bycombiningtwo ormoreAbelian symmetriesandintroducingmorethan onefield
whose vev determines the expansion parameter of the mass matrices, one can simulate to
some extent the picture that one would obtain from a non-Abelian structure.

two heavy Nc ν fields are needed to provide two non-zero masses for light neutrinos,

what follows, we assume that there are also just three heavy Nc ν fields. This model

There are several possibilities for the Abelian flavour charges, that are motivated by
theoretical considerations such as anomaly cancellation [32] as well as phenomenological 2
arguments. Within this framework, one may address questions such as:
How close to maximal is the atmospheric mixing?
•
How large is the solar mixing?
•
How large are θ and δ?

•
At which level is mixing controlled by the hierarchies of charged-lepton masses, and
•
how strong is the influence from the heavy right-handed neutrino sector?
What statements can be made about other observables?
