Multiscalar B − L model with Σ(18) symmetry for neutrino mass and mixing

Abstract

We construct a non-renormalizable [Formula: see text] model based on [Formula: see text] symmetry, whereby, neutrino mass ordering and the tiny neutrino masses are explained at tree level via type I seesaw mechanism. The model can reproduce the recent observed neutrino oscillation data in which neutrino oscillation parameters including three mixing angles [Formula: see text], Dirac CP phase plus neutrino squared-mass splittings [Formula: see text] get the best-fit values for both Normal ordering (NO) and Inverted ordering (IO). The Majorana phases are predicted to be [Formula: see text] for NO, [Formula: see text] for IO and [Formula: see text] for both NH and IO. The sum of neutrino mass and the effective neutrino mass are, respectively, predicted to be [Formula: see text] for NO while [Formula: see text] for IO and [Formula: see text] for NO while [Formula: see text] for IO which are well compatible with the most recent experimental constraints.
