The solar and baseline neutrino oscillation data suggest bimaximal neutrino mixing among the first two generations, and trimaximal mixing between all three neutrino flavors. It has been conjectured that this indicates the existence of an…
We consider triplet Higgs model with $A_4$ symmetry to generate the neutrino mass matrix. The tribimaximal form of the neutrino mixing matrix can be naturally obtained. Imposing the neutrino oscillation data, we show that 1) both normal and…
In this talk, I have reviewed few recent models on neutrino masses and mixing. Particularly, I have emphasised on $A_4$ symmetric models.
We formulate and discuss a 4-dimensional SUSY version of an A4 model for tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing which is completely natural. We also study the next-to-the-leading corrections and show that they are small, once the ratios of A4…
We show that the bimaximal neutrino mixing pattern suggested by the solar and atmospheric neutrino data can be derived from the maximal, symmetric, four neutrino mixing in the limit that one of the neutrinos is made heavy. Imposing the…
It has recently been shown that the phenomenologically successful pattern of cobimaximal neutrino mixing ($\theta_{13} \neq 0$, $\theta_{23} = \pi/4$, and $\delta_{CP} = \pm \pi/2$) may be achieved in the context of the non-Abelian discrete…
Motivated by dimensional deconstruction, we propose a model of tribimaximal neutrino mixing based on A_4 x A_4 symmetry. In this model, the two triplet symmetry-breaking fields of conventional A_4 models are taken to transform under…
Over the last ten years tri-bimaximal mixing has played an important role in modeling the flavour problem. We give a short review of the status of flavour symmetry models of neutrino mixing. We concentrate on non-Abelian discrete…
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…
Current data indicates that lepton mixing is very close to the tri-bimaximal mixing scenario. In general, however, one expects deviations from any mixing scenario. We discuss several examples to perturb tri-bimaximal mixing, namely soft…
We propose a new $A_4$ model in which both the right-handed neutrinos and right-handed charged leptons transform as $A_4$ singlets. We reproduce tri-bimaximal mixing pattern exactly although the $A_4$ symmetry is broken completely at…
Recent neutrino oscillation data hint that the smallest neutrino mixing angle theta_{13} is possible to lie in the range 5^\circ \lesssim \theta_{13} \lesssim 12^\circ. We show that reasonable perturbations to the democratic mixing pattern,…
We point out two simple but instructive possibilities to construct the charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices, from which the nearly bi-maximal neutrino mixing with large T violation can naturally emerge. The two lepton mixing scenarios…
The addition of an A_4 family symmetry and extended Higgs sector to the Standard Model can generate the tribimaximal mixing pattern for leptons, assuming the correct vacuum expectation value alignment of the Higgs scalars. Deviating this…
We present a model of neutrino mixing based on the flavour group $\Delta(27)$ in order to account for the observation of a non-zero reactor mixing angle ($\theta_{13}$). The model provides a common flavour structure for the charged-lepton…
The interpretation of the existing experimental evidences for oscillations of neutrinos in schemes with three and four neutrino mixing is reviewed. Forms of the lepton mixing matrix allowed by the neutrino oscillation data are considered.…
It is well known that the tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing pattern V_0 can be derived from a class of flavor models with the non-Abelian A_4 symmetry. We point out that small corrections to V_0, which are inherent in the A_4 models and arise…
The recent measurement of the third lepton mixing angle, \theta_{13}, has shown that, although small compared to \theta_{12} and \theta_{23}, it is much larger than anticipated in schemes that generate Tri-Bi-Maximal (TBM) or Golden Ratio…
We study perturbations of exactly tri-bimaximal neutrino mixings under the assumption that they are coming solely from the charged lepton mass matrix. This may be plausible in scenarios where the mass generation mechanisms of neutrinos and…
Selected topics in neutrino theory are discussed, including tribimaximal mixing and its A_4 realization, variations of the seesaw mechanism allowing for observable deviations from unitarity of the neutrino mixing matrix, and the radiative…
