1) As in case of light at the dawn of quantum physics, neutrino special empirical features probably suggest new fundamental physics, in particular flavor one. Semi-empirical neutrino mixing angle phenomenology is described by one primary equation

                  cos^2 (2θ12) + cos^2 (2θ23) + cos^2 (2θ13) = 1+ sin^2 (2θ13),      (1)

                                cos(4θ13) = 1 – [cos^2 (2θ12) + cos^2 (2θ23)],                (1`)

which predicts the magnitude of finite small reactor angle θ13 = ~ 8.5o and suggests deeper physical meaning by accurate quantitative description of small neutrino mixing deviation, (right side term sin^2 (2θ13) of Eq. (1)) from geometric SO(3)-symmetry (left side of Eq. (1)). Again, in analogy with particle-wave duality in case of light, Eq. (1) indicates new fundamental physics flavor-geometric duality: congruence of flavor neutrino leading approximation bimaximal mixing angle hierarchy and flavor neutrino momentum vector leading approximation direction angle hierarchy -- both at presentations without free parameters.

That quantum-geometric congruence fact may be also interesting as an empirical example of relation between neutrino mass state superposition quantum mechanics and outer Euclidean geometry -- particular evidence of the discussed in the literature general theoretical ideas of connection between quantum physics and geometry. 

 

2) There is a principal question – Why is Geometric SO(3)-symmetry of the realistic neutrino mixing violated? In the framework of Standard Model there is only one answer: the violation of neutrino mixing geometric symmetry is caused by the necessary CP-violation of neutrino weak interactions. CP-violation is the only possible cause of geometric symmetry violation that is absent in 3-space Euclidean geometry and therefore is absent in the mentioned flavor-geometric duality.

 

3) Suggested connection between violation of neutrino mixing geometric symmetry and CP-violation in the neutrino Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagava-Sokata mixing matrix means that θ13-angle is tied to the Dirac CP-phase ‘d’ in that mixing matrix

                                                           |d| = (90^o - 2 θ13).                                    (2)

Indeed, in combination with (1) the complementary relation (2) shows possible primary cause of neutrino mixing geometric symmetry violation as phenomenon of CP-symmetry violation in the neutrino weak interactions as described by equation

                           Cos^2 (2θ12) + cos^2 (2θ23) + cos^2 (2θ13) = 1 + cos^2 d.    (3)

From that equation, the CP-violating Dirac phase |d| is maximal |d| = 90^o at leading bimaximal neutrino mixing approximation θ12 = θ23 = 90^o, θ13 = 0.

It should be underlined that despite maximal CP-phase the factual CP-violation effect at leading bimaximal approximation is zero since θ13 = 0. But at realistic neutrino mixing θ13 = ~ 8.5^o a prediction follows,

                                             d = + - (90^o - 2 θ13) = ~ + - (72 – 74)^o,                 (4)

and so, a physically observable CP-violation effect in neutrino physics appears

                                         [sin θ13 exp(-id)] = ~ [0.15(0.3 + - 0.96i)],                (5)

which is testable and falsifiable in coming neutrino experiments. If confirmed, those semi-empirical results of weakly violated neutrino mixing symmetry and CP-violation may influence general fundamentally new particle physics.
