Quark-lepton complementarity with lepton and quark mixing data predict θPMNS13=(9+1-2)°

The complementarity between the quark and lepton mixing matrices is shown to provide a robust prediction for the neutrino mixing angle theta(PMNS)(13). We obtain this prediction by. first showing that the matrix V-M, product of the CKM and PMNS mixing matrices, may have a zero (1,3) entry, which is favored by the experimental data. Hence models with bimaximal or tribimaximal forms of the correlation matrix V-M are quite possible. Any theoretical model with a vanishing (1,3) entry of V-M, which is in agreement with the quark data, and the solar and the atmospheric mixing angle leads to theta(PMNS)(13) = (9(-2)(+1))degrees. This value is consistent with the present 90% CL experimental upper limit.
