Textures of neutrino mass matrix from S 4-flavor symmetry by N. Chamoun, E. I. Lashin

“…We specify the role of unphysical phases in the definition of the textures under study which were tested against experimental constraints, and were found to accommodate data with both hierarchies allowed. However, switching off the unphysical phases allows only for inverted hierarchy, except for the texture III which allows also, albeit for a very narrow parameter space region, for normal ordering. …”
