The neutrino experiment results suggest that the neutrinos have finite masses and the lepton-flavor symmetries are violating in nature. In the supersymmetric models, the charged lepton-flavor violating processes, such as mu -> e gamma and…
We look for predictive flavour patterns of the effective Majorana neutrino mass matrix that are compatible with current neutrino oscillation data. Our search is based on the assumption that the neutrino mass matrix contains equal elements…
Recently, we have a confidence that neutrino has a tiny mass and mixing does exist among neutrino flovors as one can see from experimental data that reported by many collaborations. Based on experimental data that flavor mixing does exist…
We study the flavour sector in models where the three families of matter are unified in a $(16,3)$ representation of the $SO(10)\times A_4$ group. The necessary ingredients to realize tri-bi-maximal mixing in the lepton sector are…
We study the lepton flavor models, whose flavor symmetries are finite subgroups of the modular group such as $S_3$ and $A_4$. In our models, couplings are also nontrivial representations of these groups and modular functions of the modulus.…
Status of determination of the neutrino masses and mixing is formulated and possible uncertainties, especially due to presence of the sterile neutrinos, are discussed. The data hint an existence of special ``neutrino'' symmetries. If not…
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…
We present a comprehensive phenomenological analysis of a vast amount of data from neutrino flavor oscillation and non-oscillation searches, performed within the standard scenario with three massive and mixed neutrinos, and with particular…
Restrictions on the neutrino masses and lepton mixing are reviewed. Solar, atmospheric and relic neutrinos give the indications of existence of nonzero neutrino masses and mixing. The data pick up two regions of mixing angles which are or…
We study a neutrino model introducing an additional nontrivial gauged lepton symmetry where the neutrino masses are induced at two-loop level while the first and second charged-leptons of the standard model are done at one-loop level. As a…
Lepton flavour violation and neutrino masses are a signal for new Physics beyond the Standard Model and are deeply related. The minimal extension of the Standard Model to make it include neutrino masses is not satisfactory from a conceptual…
We discuss aspects of neutrino masses and lepton-number violation, in the light of the observations of Super-Kamiokande. As a first step, we use the data from various experiments, in order to obtain a phenomenological understanding of…
We present a short review of a 6-dimensional model where a flavour puzzle of the Standard Model fermions finds an elegant solution. The mechanism is based on an idea that the three fermionic generations originate from a single 6D family.…
We propose a flavour theory of leptons implementing an $A_4$ family symmetry. Our scheme provides a simple way to derive trimaximal neutrino mixing from first principles, leading to simple and testable predictions for neutrino mixing and CP…
I review promising approaches to neutrino mass models, focussing on three neutrino patterns of neutrino masses and mixing angles, and the corresponding Majorana mass matrices. I discuss the see-saw mechanism, and show how it may be applied…
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…
A systematic study of the flavor group $T^{'}$ is presented in terms of a specific model which extends the standard model symmetry to $[SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1)]_{(local)} \times [T^{'} \times Z_2 \times Z_2^{'} \times…
Future neutrino oscillation experiments will lead to precision measurements of neutrino mass splittings and mixings. The flavour structure of the lepton sector will therefore at some point become better known than that of the quark sector.…
In this talk I review the `puzzles' associated with the fermion mass matrices and describe some recent attempts to resolve them, at least partially. Models which attempt to explain the observed mass hierarchy as arising from radiative…
We demonstrate that an $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ model with extended Higgs sector gives rise to bi-maximal neutrino mixing through the incorporation of SO(3) flavour symmetry and discrete symmetry. The neutrino and the charged lepton masses…
