We suggest an approach to explain the observed pattern of the neutrino masses and mixing which employs the weakly broken quark-lepton symmetry and does not require introduction of an ad hoc symmetry of the neutrino sector. The mass matrices…
The presence of the triplet $\Delta_{L}$ in left-right symmetric theories leads to type-II see-saw mechanism for the neutrino masses. In these models, assuming a normal mass hierarchy for the heavy Majorana neutrinos, we derive a lower…
We classify the textures of the Dirac and the right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrices, $M_D$ and $M_R$, which can satisfy the so-called ``Strong Scaling Ansatz'' (SSA) within the framework of the seesaw mechanism $M_{\nu}=-M_D^T…
The representation of the seesaw orthogonal matrix in the complex plane establishes a graphical correspondence between neutrino mass models and geometrical configurations, particularly useful to study relevant aspects of leptogenesis. We…
Models with composite singlet neutrinos can give small Majorana or Dirac masses to the active neutrinos. The mechanism is based on the fact that conserved chiral symmetries give massless neutrinos at the renormalizable level. Thus, they…
It is shown that type I seesaw models based on the standard model Lagrangian extended with three heavy Majorana right-handed fields do not have leptogenesis in leading order, if the symmetries of mass matrices are also the residual symmetry…
The leptogenesis is studied in the neutrino mass matrix with two zeros, which reduces the number of independent phases of the CP violation. These texture zeros are decomposed into the Dirac neutrino mass matrix and the right-handed Majorana…
Within the broad context of quark-lepton unification, we investigate the implications of broken continuous family symmetries which result from requiring that in the limit of exact symmetry, the Dirac mass matrices yield hierarchical masses…
We systematically investigate the parameter space of neutrino and charged lepton mass matrices for textures motivated by an extended quark-lepton complementarity. As the basic hypothesis, we postulate that all mixing angles in U_l and U_nu…
For Majorana or Dirac neutrinos, using Fritzsch-like texture 4 zero mass matrices with parallel texture structures for the charged leptons and the Dirac neutrino mass matrix (M_{\nu D}), detailed predictions for cases pertaining to…
We investigate non-resonant thermal leptogenesis in the context of the $SU(5) \times \mathcal{T}_{13}$ "asymmetric texture", where both Dirac and Majorana ${CP}$ violation arise from a single phase in the tribimaximal seesaw mixing matrix.…
Within the scheme of Baryogenesis through Leptogenesis in the single flavor approximation, we emphasize the role of the Dirac neutrino mass $m_D$ in the SO(10) Grand Unification scheme, using the Higgs representations for the fermions…
Leptogenesis is an appealing framework to account for the baryon asymmetry in the universe. To this end physics beyond the Standard Model is demanded. In this paper we investigate the possibility to attain successful leptogenesis with…
The lepton asymmetry created in the out-of-equilibrium decay of a heavy Majorana neutrino can generate the cosmological baryon asymmetry when processed through fast anomalous electroweak reactions. In this work I examine this process under…
We show that a universal texture zero in the (1,1) position of all fermionic mass matrices, including heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos driving a type-I see-saw mechanism, can lead to a viable spectrum of mass, mixing and CP violation…
We propose a simple phenomenological model of quarks-leptons mass matrices having fundamentally universal symmetry structure. These mass matrices consist of democratic and semi-democratic mass matrix terms commonly to the neutrino and the…
In an economical system with only two heavy right handed neutrinos, we postulate a new texture for $3 \times 2$ Dirac mass matrix $m_D$. This model implies one massless light neutrino and thus displays only two patterns of mass spectrum for…
We conjecture that three light Majorana neutrinos and their right-handed counterparts may have a universal geometric mass hierarchy. Incorporating this phenomenological conjecture with the Fritzsch texture of lepton mass matrices in a…
We discuss the implications for lepton mixing and CP violation of structure in the lepton mass matrices, for the case that neutrino masses are generated by the see-saw mechanism with an hierarchical structure for the Majorana masses. For a…
