Recent measurements of the neutrino mixing angles cast doubt on the validity of the so-far popular tri-bimaximal mixing ansatz. We propose a parametrization for the neutrino mixing matrix where the reactor angle seeds the large solar and…
Recent results from T2K, MINOS and Double CHOOZ all indicate a sizeable reactor angle theta_13 which would rule out conventional tri-bimaximal lepton mixing. However, it is possible to maintain the tri-bimaximal solar and atmospheric mixing…
In the flavor basis there are seven cases of two vanishing minors in the neutrino mass matrix which can accommodate the present neutrino oscillation data including the recent T2K data. It is found that two of these cases, namely $B_5$ and…
An attempt is made to explore the possibility for deviations of solar mixing angle ($\theta_{12}$) from tri-bimaximal mixings, without sacrificing the predictions of maximal atmospheric mixing angle ($\theta_{23}=\pi/4$) and zero reactor…
The measurement of the reactor angle by the Daya Bay and RENO experiments in 2012 has ruled out the tri-bimaximal paradigm. Adopting an S4 family symmetry, we propose direct models of the trimaximal type TM1 in which the tri-bimaximal Klein…
In terms of its eigenvector decomposition, the neutrino mass matrix (in the basis where the charged lepton mass matrix is diagonal) can be understood as originating from a tribimaximal dominant structure with small deviations, as demanded…
We propose an extension of tri-bimaximal mixing to include a non-zero reactor angle $\theta_{13}$ while maintaining the tri-bimaximal predictions for the atmospheric angle $\theta_{23}=45^o$ and solar angle $\theta_{12}=35^o$. We show how…
We introduce a new texture for neutrino mixing named Tri-Permuting (TP) mixing matrix. This pattern is characterized by maximal solar and atmospheric angles and by a large reactor angle satisfying sin(theta_13)=1/3. The correct lepton…
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…
For a neutrino mass matrix whose texture has an approximate flavor symmetry and where one has near degenerate neutrino mass, it is shown that the tribimaximal values for atmospheric angle $\sin^{2}{\theta_{23}}=1/2$ and solar angle…
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…
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…
We show how the neutrino mixing angles and oscillation phase can be predicted from tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing, corrected by charged lepton mixing angles which are related to quark mixing angles via quark-lepton unification. The…
General structures of the charged lepton and the neutrino mixing matrices leading to tri-bimaximal leptonic mixing are determined. These are then integrated into an SO(10) model within which detailed fits to fermion masses and mixing angles…
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…
Current solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation data seem to favor a bimaximal pattern for neutrino mixings where the matrix elements U_{e2} and U_{\mu 3} are of order one, while U_{e3} is much smaller. We show that such a pattern can be…
The observed neutrino mixing, having a near maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing angle and a large solar mixing angle, is close to tri-bi-maximal, putting leptonic mixing in contrast with the small mixing of the quark sector. We discuss a…
It is a common believe that, if the Tri-bimaximal mixing (TBM) pattern is explained by vacuum alignment in an A(4) model, only a very small reactor angle, say \theta_{13} \sim \lambda^2_C being \lambda_C \equiv \theta_C the Cabibbo angle,…
The observed neutrino mixing, having a near maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing angle and a large solar mixing angle, is close to tri-bi-maximal. We argue that this structure suggests a family symmetric origin in which the magnitude of the…
Following the recent T2K indication of a sizeable reactor angle, we present a class of models which fix \theta_{13} while preserving trimaximal solar mixing. The models are based on a new type of constrained sequential dominance involving…
