Abstract

The complex Clebsch-Gordon coefficients in the double tetrahedral group T' offers the possibility that CP violation can be entirely geometrical in origin, as pointed out by us recently. In this note, we investigate leptogenesis in a SUSY SU(5) x T' model, which gives rise to realistic quark masses and CKM matrix elements, a near tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing pattern, as well as CP violating measures for all quarks and leptons. In terms of 9 independent parameters in the Yukawa sector, the predicted values of the 22 observables agree with current experimental values, including the recent T2K and MINOS results. The correction to the tri-bimaximal mixing pattern is related to the Cabibbo angle, leading to interesting quark-lepton complementarity sum rules. Our predicted value for the leptonic Dirac CP phase is 227 degrees, which gives rise to sufficient amount of lepton number asymmetry, in the presence of the flavor effect. As this is the only non-vanishing CP violating phase in the lepton sector, there is a direct connection between leptogenesis and CP violation in neutrino oscillation in our model.
