We consider how, for quasi-degenerate neutrinos with tri-bi-maximal mixing at a high-energy scale, the mixing angles are affected by radiative running from high to low-energy scales in a supersymmetric theory. The limits on the high-energy scale that follow from consistency with the observed mixing are determined. We construct a model in which a non-Abelian discrete family symmetry leads both to a quasi-degenerate neutrino mass spectrum and to near tri-bi-maximal mixing.

The observed neutrino mixing, having a near maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing angle and a large solar mixing angle, is close to tri-bi-maximal, putting leptonic mixing in contrast with the small mixing of the quark sector. We discuss a model in which Delta(27) (a subgroup of SU(3)) is the family symmetry, and tri-bi-maximal mixing directly follows from the vacuum structure enforced by the discrete symmetry. The model accounts for the observed quark and lepton masses and the CKM matrix, as well as being consistent with an underlying stage of Grand Unification.
The observed neutrino mixing, having a near maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing angle and a large solar mixing angle, is close to tri-bi-maximal. We argue that this structure suggests a family symmetric origin in which the magnitude of the mixing angles are related to the existence of a discrete non-Abelian family symmetry. We construct a model in which the family symmetry is the non-Abelian discrete group $Delta(27)$, a subgroup of SU(3) in which the tri-bi-maximal mixing directly follows from the vacuum structure enforced by the discrete symmetry. In addition to the lepton mixing angles, the model accounts for the observed quark and lepton masses and the CKM matrix. The structure is also consistent with an underlying stage of Grand Unification.
In the limit of an approximate $mu-tau$ symmetry in the neutrino mass matrix, we explore deviations to the Tri-Bi-Maximal mixing pattern in the neutrino sector. We consider two different ansatzes for the corrected pattern to predict the current values of neutrino mixing parameters. We show that it is possible to constrain the Majorana $CP$ phases by studying their correlation to the mixing parameters and we study their effects on neutrinoless double beta decay observables. These predictions are sharp for the quasi-degenerate ordering and can be tested in upcoming experiments.
The Tri-Bi-Maximal pattern has been long investigated as the symmetric scenario that lies behind the neutrino mixing matrix. It predicts a null reactor angle and hence forbids $CP$ violation in the lepton sector, which is in contrast to the current experimental determinations. We explore different deviations from this pattern to restore the compatibility with the latest fits of neutrino mixing parameters. We consider two unitary matrices to correct the symmetric pattern, each of them is written in terms of one single angle and one complex phase, which will be constrained by the experimental mixings and from symmetry restrictions in the mass matrix. We note that these correction parameters would allow us to obtain simultaneous information about the Dirac and Majorana $CP$ phases in some specific scenarios. We show that the predicted values lead to sharped regions for the neutrinoless double beta decay amplitude, in the selected cases, that could be tested with forthcoming results.
We construct lepton flavour models based on two $A_4$ modular symmetries. The two $A_4$ are broken by a bi-triplet field to the diagonal $A_4$ subgroup, resulting in an effective modular $A_4$ flavour symmetry with two moduli. We employ these moduli as stabilisers, that preserve distinct residual symmetries, enabling us to obtain Tri-Maximal 2 (TM2) mixing with a minimal field content (without flavons).
