We present a supersymmetric $T_{13}$ model for the tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing, and the complete flavor group is $T_{13}\times Z_{4}\times Z_2$. At leading order, the residual symmetry of the charged lepton sector is $Z_3$, and the…
Discrete flavour groups have been studied in connection with special patterns of neutrino mixing suggested by the data, such as Tri-Bimaximal mixing (groups A4, S4...) or Bi-Maximal mixing (group S4...) etc. We review the predictions for…
In this note I mainly focus on the neutrino physics part in my talk and report the most recent progress made in \cite{YLW0}. It is seen that the Majorana features of neutrinos and SO(3) gauge flavor symmetry can simultaneously explain the…
We present a see-saw $A_4$ model for Tri-Bimaximal mixing which is based on a very economical flavour symmetry and field content and still possesses all the good features of $A_4$ models. In particular the charged lepton mass hierarchies…
Finite discrete subgroups of $U(3)$ as possible flavour symmetries $G_f$ for a massless neutrinos with predictive mixing angles are studied. This is done by assuming that a residual symmetry $S_\nu$ appropriate for describing a massless…
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…
We discuss the possibility of flavor symmetries to explain the pattern of charged lepton and neutrino masses and mixing angles. We emphasize what are the obstacles for the generation of an almost maximal atmospheric mixing and what are the…
Neutrino mixing is studied from a symmetry perspective, both bottom-up and top-down. In the bottom-up approach, we start from the tri-bimaximal mixing, or one of its three partial patterns, and construct a list of horizontal symmetry groups…
A model of a neutrino mixing with an $A_4\times Z_3\times Z_4$ flavour symmetry is suggested. In addition to the standard model fields, the present model contains six new fields which transform under different representations of $A_4\times…
Current experimental data on neutrino mixing are very well described by TriBiMaximal mixing. Accordingly, any phenomenological parametrization of the MNSP matrix must build upon TriBiMaximal mixing. We propose one particularly natural…
With one \Delta m^2 of the appropriate order of magnitude to solve the atmospheric neutrino problem, we study the resulting three-generation vacuum-oscillation fit to the solar neutrino flux. An explanation of the atmospheric neutrino…
Neutrino Oscillation, in which a given flavour of neutrino transforms into another is a powerful tool for probing small neutrino masses. The intrinsic neutrino properties involved are neutrino mass squared difference $\Delta m^2$ and the…
We build a supersymmetric model of quark and lepton masses based on the discrete flavour symmetry group T', the double covering of A_4. In the lepton sector our model is practically indistinguishable from recent models based on A_4 and, in…
Stimulated by recent T2K indications on a surprisingly large neutrino mixing theta_13 angle we suggest that this last unknown angle is not independent but determined by the known large solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation angles via…
Current data implies three simple forms of the neutrino mass matrix, each corresponding to the conservation of a non-standard lepton charge. While models based on L_e and L_e - L_mu - L_tau are well-known, little attention has been paid to…
Two semi-empirical ideas are guiding the present research: 1) one neutrino and N color quark triple mixing angles have second physical meaning of vector direction angles in euclidean 3-space, and 2) the difference between neutrino and quark…
We consider the $A_4$, $S_4$ and $A_5$ discrete lepton flavour symmetries in the case of 3-neutrino mixing, broken down to non-trivial residual symmetries in the charged lepton and neutrino sectors in such a way that at least one of them is…
The tri-bimaximal mixing is a good approximation for the present data of neutrino mixing angles. The deviation from the tri-bimaximal mixing is discussed numerically in the framework of the A4 model. Values of \tan^2\theta_{12}, \sin^2…
Discrete non-Abelian Symmetries have been extensively used to reproduce the lepton mixings. In particular, the S4 group turned out to be suitable to describe predictive mixing patterns, such as the well-known Tri-Bimaximal and the Bimaximal…
Recent atmospheric neutrino data at Super-Kamiokande suggest the large flavor mixing of neutrinos. Models for the lepton mass matrix, which give the near-maximal flavor mixing, are discussed in the three family model. Especially, details of…
