In the three-Higgs doublet model (3HDM) frame, we search for discrete flavour symmetries that give relations among the lepton masses and their mixing angles. We explore discreet non-Abelian groups of order less than 1035, treating neutrinos…
We introduce a scenario of lepton mixing in holographic composite Higgs models based on non-abelian discrete symmetries of the form G_f=X x Z_N, broken to Z_2 x Z_2 x Z_N in the elementary sector and to Z_N^(D) in the composite sector with…
We show that holographic composite Higgs Models with a discrete A4 symmetry naturally predict hierarchical charged lepton masses and an approximate tri-bimaximal lepton mixing with the correct scale of neutrino masses. They also satisfy…
Recently, there has been a growing interest in extensions of the Standard Model in which naturally small Dirac neutrino masses arise due to existence of a symmetry which protects neutrino's Diracness. Motivated by this, we consider an…
The extension of the Standard Model lepton sector by three right-handed Majorana neutrinos (heavy neutral leptons, HNL) with masses up to GeV scale is considered. While the lightest HNL is the dark matter particle with mass of the order of…
The leptonic mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ is known to be small. If it is indeed tiny, the simplest explanation is that charged leptons mix only in the $\mu-\tau$ sector and neutrinos only in the 1-2 sector. We show that this pattern may be…
We consider the modular symmetry associated with the compactification of extra dimensions as the flavor symmetry on lepton sector. Especially, we propose a model based on the modular $A_4$ symmetry with three right-handed neutrinos and a…
Lepton masses and mixing angles via localization of 5D fields in the bulk are revisited in the context of Randall-Sundrum models. The Higgs is assumed to be localized on the IR brane. Three cases for neutrino masses are considered: (a) The…
Models with composite singlet neutrinos can give small Majorana or Dirac masses to the active neutrinos. The mechanism is based on the fact that conserved chiral symmetries give massless neutrinos at the renormalizable level. Thus, they…
The seesaw mechanism explains the exclusive smallness of neutrino masses by the presence of very heavy Majorana masses and leads to the appearance of Majorana particles and to the direct lepton number violation. The author proposes a seesaw…
We study leptogenesis in two seesaw models where maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing and $U_{e3} = 0$ result from symmetries. Salient features of those models are the existence of three Higgs doublets and a twofold degeneracy of the…
Small neutrino masses can be sourced by a tiny vacuum expectation value of a leptophilic Higgs doublet, and mediated by Quasi-Dirac heavy neutrinos. In such simplest linear seesaw picture the neutrino mass mediators can be accessible to…
We propose a simple non-supersymmetric lepton flavor model with $A_4$ symmetry. The $A_4$ group is a minimal one which includes triplet irreducible representation. We introduce three Higgs doublets which are assigned as triplet of the $A_4$…
In extensions of the standard model with a heavy fourth generation one important question is what makes the fourth-generation lepton sector, particularly the neutrinos, so different from the lighter three generations. We study this question…
Texture six zero Fritzsch like as well as non Fritzsch like hermitian lepton mass matrices (144 combinations in all) have been investigated for both Majorana and Dirac neutrinos for their compatibility with the current neutrino oscillation…
The implementation of maximally restrictive texture zeros in the leptonic sector is investigated in the context of two-Higgs-doublet models with Majorana neutrinos. After analyzing all maximally restrictive pairs of leptonic mass matrices…
The vacuum stability condition of the Standard Model Higgs potential with mass in the range of 124-127 GeV puts an upper bound on the Dirac mass of the neutrinos. We study this constraint with the right-handed neutrino masses upto TeV…
To explain the small neutrino masses, heavy Majorana neutrinos are introduced in the left-right twin Higgs model. The heavy neutrinos, together with the charged scalars and the heavy gauge bosons, may contribute large mixings between the…

The simplest little Higgs model based on a SU(3) global symmetry contains a $SU(3)_{weak}$ triplet and a singlet per a generation in the lepton sector. A neutral component of the triplet and the singlet turn into a neutral vector-like…
