A model for neutrino masses and mixing is devised appointing the see-saw mechanism. The proffered model is fabricated with a combination of Type -I and Type-II see-saw contributions of which the latter dominates. The scalars and the leptons…
The recently proposed "mini-seesaw mechanism" combines naturally suppressed Dirac and Majorana masses to achieve light Standard Model neutrinos via a low-scale seesaw. A key feature of this approach is the presence of multiple light (order…

Neutrino flavor mixing is explained within the recently proposed low-scale minimal linear seesaw model of neutrino mass generation, a variant of the standard linear seesaw led by a Dirac pair of extra sterile neutrinos which is odd under a…
We find all possible seesaw textures which can describe in a natural way the currently observed neutrino oscillation pattern in terms of a minimum number of parameters. Natural here means due only to the relative smallness (vanishing) of…
The generalized $\mu$-$\tau$ interchange symmetry in the leptonic mixing matrix $U$ corresponds to the relations: $|U_{\mu i}|=|U_{\tau i}|$ with $i=1,2,3$. It predicts maximal atmospheric mixing and maximal Dirac CP violation given…
In the simplest version of a $\mathbf{Q}_{6}$ flavored supersymmetric model, we analyze the leptonic masses and mixings in the framework of a soft breaking of the $\mu \leftrightarrow \tau$ symmetry. This breaking is controlled by the…
We consider theories where the Standard Model (SM) neutrinos acquire masses through the seesaw mechanism at the weak scale. We show that in such a scenario, the requirement that any pre-existing baryon asymmetry, regardless of its origin,…
The PQ mechanism resolving the strong CP problem and the seesaw mechanism explaining the smallness of neutrino masses may be related in a way that the PQ symmetry breaking scale and the seesaw scale arise from a common origin. Depending on…
In the present work we have investigated some patterns of broken ``scaling" ansatz of the neutrino mass matrix. The scaling neutrino mass matrix is disallowed by the current neutrino oscillation data as, among others, it predicts vanishing…
