Assuming that the neutrino mass matrix is diagonalized by the tribimaximal mixing matrix, we explore the textures for the charged lepton mass matrix that render an $U_{PMNS}$ lepton mixing matrix consistent with data. In particular we are…
With the recent experimental hint of new physics from flavor physics anomalies, combined with the evidence from neutrino mass and dark matter, we consider a minimal extension of SM with a scalar leptoquark and a fermion triplet. The scalar…
An explicit form of charged--lepton mass matrix, predicting $m_\tau = 1776.80$ MeV from the experimental values of $m_e$ and $m_\mu$ (in good agreement with the experimental figure $m_\tau = 1777.05^{+0.29}_{-0.26}$ MeV), is applied to…
The present observations of Cabbibo angle and solar mixing angle satisfy the empirical relation called Quark-Lepton Complementarity(QLC), namely $\theta_{12}^l\sim \pi/4-\theta_C$. It suggests the existence of correlation between quarks and…
Minimal SO(10) grand unified models provide phenomenological predictions for neutrino mass patterns and mixing. These are the outcome of the interplay of several features, namely: i) the seesaw mechanism; ii) the presence of an intermediate…
We propose an adjoint $SU(5)$ GUT model with a $T_{7}$ family symmetry and an extra $Z_{2}\otimes Z_{3}\otimes Z_{4}\otimes Z_{4}^{\prime }\otimes Z_{12}$ discrete group, that successfully describes the prevailing Standard Model fermion…
It has been shown that only certain neutrino mass matrices with texture zeros are compatible with existing data. We discuss the stability of phenomenological consequences of texture zeros under radiative corrections in the type-I see-saw…
Motivated by the fact that, in some realistic models combining SO(10) GUTs and flavour symmetries, it is not possible to achieve the required baryon asymmetry through the CP asymmetry generated in the decay of right-handed neutrinos, we…
We study Flipped $SU(5)\times U(1)$ Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) with $\Gamma_3\simeq A_4$ modular symmetry. We propose two models with different modular weights assignments, where the fermion mass hierarchy can arise from weighton fields.…
Experimental data on the neutrino mixing and masses strongly suggest an underlying approximate symmetry of the relevant Yukawa superpotential terms. Intensive phenomenological explorations during the last decade indicate that permutation…
We present an updated fit of supersymmetric SO(10) models to quark and lepton masses and mixing parameters. Including latest results from lattice QCD determinations of quark masses and neutrino oscillation data, we show that fits neglecting…
We study the effective ways for generating the linear see-saw neutrino mass relations and large neutrino mixing angles in two classes of grand unified SO(10) models where the texture of Dirac neutrino mass matrix is related to either the…
Neutrino mass textures play a crucial role in the study of various neutrino mass models and the associated phenomenology. The present work focuses on neutrino phenomenology in the framework of left-right symmetric model (LRSM) augmented by…
We demonstrate that Abelian family symmetries allow one to enforce texture zeros in arbitrary entries of the fermion mass matrices. Placing zeros in any number of elements of all occurring mass matrices can be done with two alternative…
We present examples of fits of fermion mass data using the $\mathbf{10-120-\oot}$ FM Higgs system in Susy SO(10) GUTs that follow the scenario\cite{blmdoom,nmsgutI} in which the $\mathbf{120}$ -plet collaborates with the $ \mathbf{10}$-plet…
The Standard Model does not explain the hierarchy problem. Before the discovery of nonzero lepton mixing angle {\theta}13 high hopes in explanation of the shape of the lepton mixing matrix were combined with non abelian symmetries.…
We show how introducing discrete Abelian flavor symmetries can produce texture zeros in the fermion mass matrices, while preserving the correct relationships with the low-energy data on quark and lepton masses. We outline a procedure for…
We propose an SO(10) grand unified theory which has the simplest Higgs structure discussed so far in the literature. We include only two Higgs scalars, a 210-plet and a 16-plet. In addition to the regular fermions we include one singlet,…
The Standard Model data suggests the realization of grand unification structures in nature, in particular that of SO(10). A class of string vacua that preserve the SO(10) embedding, are the three generation free fermion heterotic-string…
In a recent paper a model of quark and lepton masses was proposed. Without any family symmetries almost all the qualitative and quantitative features of the quark and lepton masses and Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing angles are explained,…
