Description

The measurement of the non-zero reactor mixing angle has established a new challenge for the theoretical understanding of the lepton mixing. The use of discrete symmetries to successfully explain that mixing is still possible. As an example, we have modified the so called Babu-Ma-Valle model in such a way that we account for the current neutrino mixing values at 3 sigma. In particular, we have obtained not only compatibility with non zero reactor mixing angle, but also a non-maximal atmospheric mixing angle.
