    Unitarity in Flavor Physics
    The concept of unitarity is crucial in describing flavor transformations, particularly in the context of neutrino oscillations. The matrix describing the mixing between neutrino flavor states ($\nu\alpha$) and mass states ($\nuj$) is the Pontecorvo–Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata (PMNS) matrix, denoted $U_{\text{PMNS}}$ [4].
    The PMNS matrix is mandated to be a complex unitary matrix ($U^…
