Description

The basic form of the lepton mixing matrix is known from neutrino oscillation experiments and may reasonably be said to be suggestive of underlying symmetries (democracy, mutativity, CP). With the notion that such symmetries could arise from a variational principle, and given that any fundamental laws must be Jarlskog covariant, we show that covariant extremisation of Jarlskog invariants can lead to viable phenomenology.
