M Theory Lesson 319

Let us consider Brannen's circulant sum form for the tribimaximal mixing matrix. There are a few ways to do this, but we will start by mixing up $1$-circulant and $2$-circulant parts to obtain: Note that the $2 \times 2$ block is not $F_2$, but rather the MUB alternative $R_2$. This gives a purely two dimensional product form for the tribimaximal matrix: in terms of $R_2$ type operators, with $4$ parameters $A$, $B$, $X$ and $Y$. Note that it doesn't matter much if we swap $\sqrt{2}^{-1}$ for $\sqrt{2}$. There are alternative forms of this result, again making the tribimaximal matrix robust.

  1. And note that the triple product of three such doubly magic matrices (one for each dimension) gives a neat parameterisation of all such (eg. CKM) matrices.
