文摘The Majorana neutrino mass matrix combines information from the neutrino masses and the leptonic mixing in the flavor basis. Its invariance under some transformation matrices indicates the existence of certain residual symmetry.

We find that there are three regions with distinct characteristics of structure. A group effect and the μ-T exchange symmetry are observed. Six types of texture non-zeros are shown.
