Description
The recent experimental measurements of the solar neutrino mixing angle $θ_{sol}$ and the Cabibbo mixing angle $θ_C$ reveal a surprising relation, $ θ_{sol}+θ_C \simeq \fracπ{4} $. We review that while this empirical relation has been interpreted as a support of the idea of grand unification, it may be merely accidental in the sense that reproducing the relation at a low energy in the framework of grand unification may depend strongly on the renormalization effects whose size can vary with the choice of parameter space. We note that the lepton mixing matrix derived from quark-lepton unification can lead to a shift of the complementarity relation at low energy. While the renormalization group effects generally lead to additive contribution on top of the shift, we show that the threshold corrections which may exist in some intermediate scale new physics such as supersymmetric standard model can diminish it, so we can achieve the complementarity relation at a low energy.
