We analyse how a large value of the leptonic mixing angle \theta_{13}^{MNS} can be generated via charged lepton corrections in unified flavour models, using novel combinations of Clebsch-Gordan factors for obtaining viable quark-lepton mass…
The Gatto Sartori Tonin (GST) relation which establishes the Cabibbo angle in terms of the quark mass ratio: $\theta_{C}=\sqrt{m_d/m_s}$, is instituted as $\theta_{13}=\sqrt{m_1/m_3}$ to a Bi-large motivated lepton mixing framework that…
We propose a supersymmetric SU(5) GUT model with an A_4 family symmetry - including a full flavon- and messenger sector - which realises the relation theta_13^PMNS \simeq theta_C / sqrt(2). The neutrino sector features tri-bimaximal mixing,…
As pointed out by many authors, recent observations are consistent with an intriguing relation between the Cabibbo angle $\theta_C$ and the solar neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{12}$, namely $\theta_{12} \simeq \pi/4 - \theta_C$. Such…
We propose a universal mixing hypothesis between quark and lepton sectors at high energy scale (probably GUT scale) where quark-lepton universality holds. Namely in the charged lepton diagonal base, all the other mass matrices for up and…
We propose new predictions from Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) (applicable to both supersymmetric (SUSY) and non-SUSY models) for the ratios of quark and lepton Yukawa couplings. These new predictions arise from splitting the masses of the…
Constrained Sequential neutrino Dominance of type 2 (referred to as CSD2) is an attractive building block for flavour Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) because it predicts a non-zero leptonic mixing angle $\theta_{13}^\text{PMNS}$, a deviation…
We re-analyze charged lepton corrections to neutrino mixing angles and CP phases, carefully including CP phases from the charged lepton sector. We present simple analytical formulae for including the charged lepton corrections and derive…
We phenomenologically build a neutrino mass matrix obeying $\mu-\tau$ symmetry with only two parameters, Cabibbo angle $(\lambda)$ and a flavour twister parameter $(\eta)$. For vanishing $\eta$, the model assumes TBM mixing. When…
We present a revised version of the so-called "yukawaon model", which was proposed for the purpose of a unified description of the lepton mixing matrix $U_{PMNS}$ and the quark mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$. It is assumed from a phenomenological…
Grand Unified Theories predict relationships between the GUT-scale quark and lepton masses. Using new data in the context of the MSSM, we update the values and uncertainties of the masses and mixing angles for the three generations at the…
Arguments coming from Quantum Field Theory are supplemented with a 1-loop perturbative calculation to settle the non-unitarity of mixing matrices linking renormalized mass eigenstates to bare flavor states for non-degenerate coupled…
The lepton mixing angles of the PMNS matrix are predicted based on the lepton flavor symmetry of a finite group $C_2\times D_3$, where the cyclic group $C_2$ acts on the charged lepton mass terms and the dihedral group $D_3$ on the neutrino…
A novel relation is found which gives the 2-3 lepton mixing angle in terms of quark masses and CKM mixing: \tan\theta_{\mu\tau}=(m_b/m_s)V_{cb}. This relation, which is remarkably in good agreement with the quark data and the large lepton…
The present article is an endeavor to look into some fruitful frameworks based on "Bi-maximal" neutrino mixing, from a model independent stand. The possibilities involving the correction or attenuation of the original BM mixing matrix,…
We study the low-energy consequences of the mass and mixing angle relations in grand unified theories (GUT), which follow from an assumption that some quarks and leptons are placed in the same GUT multiplets. This assumption is a simple…
We consider a minimal condition that predicts the 1-3 lepton mixing angle $\theta_{13} \simeq \theta_{\rm C}/\sqrt{2}$ with $\theta_{\rm C}$ the Cabibbo angle, and give the improved prediction of $\theta_{13}$. In the case of normal mass…
An alternative supersymmetric SO(10) grand unification model with lopsided fermion mass matrices is introduced. It generates a large solar-neutrino-mixing angle through the neutrinos' Dirac mass matrix constrained by the SO(10) group…
The recent experimental measurements of the solar neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{sol}$ and the Cabibbo mixing angle $\theta_C$ reveal a surprising relation, $ \theta_{sol}+\theta_C \simeq \frac{\pi}{4} $. We review that while this empirical…
