The renormalization group (RG) running of the neutrino mass operator is required for comparing the predictions of neutrino models at high energy with the experimental data at low energies. In the type I seesaw scenario with n_G right-handed…
We show that, in the low-scale type-I seesaw model, renormalization group running of neutrino parameters may lead to significant modifications of the leptonic mixing angles in view of so-called seesaw threshold effects. Especially, we…
The recent results from Daya Bay and RENO reactor neutrino experiments have firmly established that the smallest reactor mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ is non-vanishing at the $5 \sigma$ level, with a relatively large value, i.e.,…
We make an attempt to study the present status of the tetra-maximal neutrino mixing (TMM) pattern. It predicts all the three leptonic mixing angles $\theta_{13} \approx 8.4^\circ, \theta_{12} \approx 30.4^\circ, $ and $\theta_{23} =…
Recent measurements of the lepton mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ by the Daya Bay and RENO reactor experiments are consistent with the relationship $\theta_{13}\approx \theta_C/\sqrt{2}$ where $ \theta_C$ is the Cabibbo angle. We propose…
Symmetry-based ideas, such as the quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) principle and the tri-bimaximal mixing (TBM) scheme, have been proposed to explain the observed mixing pattern of neutrinos. We argue that such symmetry relations need to…
The recent experimental measurements of the solar neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{sol}$ and the Cabibbo mixing angle $\theta_C$ reveal a surprising relation, $ \theta_{sol}+\theta_C \simeq \frac{\pi}{4} $. We review that while this empirical…
We re-analyze charged lepton corrections to neutrino mixing angles and CP phases, carefully including CP phases from the charged lepton sector. We present simple analytical formulae for including the charged lepton corrections and derive…
In this topical review we argue that neutrino mass and mixing data motivates extending the Standard Model to include a non-Abelian discrete flavour symmetry in order to accurately predict the large leptonic mixing angles and CP violation.…
We discuss whether the bi-maximal mixing given at GUT is consistent with the solar mixing at the normal side at the low energy. We consider the radiative corrections due to the tau-Yukawa, the neutrino-Yukawa and the slepton threshold…
Although the measurement of the reactor angle has killed tribimaximal lepton mixing, its descendants survive with charged lepton corrections, or in less constrained forms such as trimaximal mixing and/or mu-tau symmetry, each with…
Tri-bimaximal mixing is a specific lepton mixing ansatz, which has been shown to account very successfully for the established neutrino oscillation data. Working in a particular basis (the `circulant basis'), we identify three independent…
The renormalization effect on a specific ansatz of lepton mass matrices, arising naturally from the breaking of flavor democracy for charged leptons and that of mass degeneracy for light neutrinos, is studied from a superhigh energy scale…
We show that in see-saw models with bimaximal lepton mixing at the GUT scale and with zero CP phases, the solar mixing angle theta_{12} generically evolves towards sizably smaller values due to Renormalization Group effects, whereas the…
The Littlest Seesaw (LS) model involves two right-handed neutrinos and a very constrained Dirac neutrino mass matrix, involving one texture zero and two independent Dirac masses, leading to a highly predictive scheme in which all neutrino…
We consider charged lepton correction to Tri-bimaximal(TBM) neutrino mixing, defined by the relation $U_{PMNS}=U^{\dagger}_l U_{TB}$ and find possible form of $U_l$ which can impart non-zero value of $\sin \theta_{13}$ as well as $\tan^2…
The recent observations of the leptonic mixing angle \theta^PMNS_13 are consistent with \theta^PMNS_13 = \theta_C / \sqrt2 (with \theta_C being the Cabibbo angle \theta^CKM_12). We discuss how this relation can emerge in Grand Unified…
We consider an exact mu-tau reflection symmetry in neutrino sectorrealized at the GUT scale in the context of the seesaw model with and without supersymmetry. Assuming the two lighter heavy Majorana neutrinos are degenerate at the GUT…
Supersymmetric $SO(10)$ grand unified models with renormalizable Yukawa couplings involving only ${\bf 10}$ and $\overline{\bf 126}$ Higgs fields have been shown to realize the fermion masses and mixings economically. In previous works, the…
The data on neutrino mixing are at present compatible with Tri-Bimaximal (TB) mixing. If one takes this indication seriously then the models that lead to TB mixing in first approximation are particularly interesting and A4 models are…
