It is argued that data from atmospheric and solar neutrino experiments point strongly to tri-maximal or bi-maximal lepton mixing. While (`optimised') bi-maximal mixing gives an excellent a posteriori fit to the data, tri-maximal mixing is…
We explore some ways of minimally modifying the neutrino mixing matrix from tribimaximal, characterized by introducing at most one mixing angle and a CP violating phase thus extending our earlier work. One minimal modification, motivated to…
When the neutrino mass eigenstate $\nu_2$ is trimaximally mixed, the mixing matrix is called trimaximal. The middle column of trimaximal mixing matrix is identical to tri-bimaximal mixing and the other two columns are subject to unitarity…
In this paper we study a parametrized description of neutrino mixing from a phenomenological point of view. We concentrate on the parametrization in terms of higher order corrections to the leading order mixing matrix. A method to describe…
We exam the pairs of neutrino mixing matrix and suggest pairs that can be used in the construction of new mixing patterns, with "pair" denoting the equality of the modulus of a pair of matrix elements. The results show that the tri-maximal…
Trimaximal mixing is the mixing hypothesis with maximal symmetry. In trimaximal mixing there remains a still worrying conflict between the large values of $\Delta m^2$ preferred by the atmospheric fits (possibly supported by the early K2K…
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 neutrino oscillation data are well explained by the tri-bimaximal pattern. Recently it has been shown that also the bimaximal pattern could be a very good starting point in order to describe the lepton mixing. In this paper I review…
Current neutrino data are consistent with the so-called tribimaximal mixing scenario, which predicts \sin^2 \theta_{12}=1/3, zero U_{e3} and maximal \theta_{23}. This implies a special form of the neutrino mass matrix. Introducing small…
Following recent results from the SNO solar neutrino experiment and the K2K long-baseline neutrino experiment, the combined existing data on neutrino oscillations now point strongly to a specific form for the lepton mixing matrix, with…
We analyze the possible generalized CP symmetries admitted by the Tri-Bi-Maximal (TBM) neutrino mixing. Taking advantage of these symmetries we construct in a systematic way other variants of the standard TBM ansatz. Depending on the type…
Recently, the precise observations have yielded values for the neutrino mixing angles, denoted as ${\theta}_{12}$ and ${\theta}_{13}$. Therefore, constructing a neutrino mixing model capable of accurately reflecting a these measurements is…
The trimaximal mixing scheme is one of the widely studied neutrino mixing schemes. However, the predicted solar neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{12}$ and the reactor neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ cannot simultaneously realize their…
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…
We explore the possibility of generating a non-zero $U_{e3}$ element of the neutrino mixing matrix from tribimaximal neutrino mixing by adding a light sterile neutrino to the active neutrinos. Small active-sterile mixing can provide the…
Tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing may arise from see-saw models based on family symmetry which is spontaneously broken by flavons with particular vacuum alignments. However recent analyses hint that tri-bimaximal mixing may be insensitive to…
Possible alternatives to tri-bimaximal mixing are presented based on other symmetry principles, and their predictions for |U_{e3}|, sin^2 theta_{12} and sin^2 theta_{23} are compared to the present neutrino mixing data. In some cases…
We re-evaluate neutrino mixing patterns according to the latest T2K result for a larger mixing angle $\theta_{13}$, and find that the PMNS mixing matrix has larger deviations from bimaximal (BM) and tribimaximal (TB) mixing patterns than…
We expound the impact of extra sterile species on the ultra high energy neutrino fluxes in neutrino telescopes. We use three types of well-known flux ratios and compare the values of these flux ratios in presence of sterile neutrinos, with…
Discrete non-abelian flavor symmetries give in a natural way tri-bimaximal (TBM) mixing as showed in a prototype model. However neutrino mass matrix pattern may be very different from the tri-bimaximal one if small deviations of TBM will be…
