The recent observation of the smallest neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ in the Daya Bay and RENO experiments motivates us to examine whether $\theta_{13} \simeq 9^\circ$ at the electroweak scale can be generated from $\theta_{13} =…
In theories with a low quantum gravity scale, global symmetries are expected to be violated, inducing excessive proton decay or large Majorana neutrino masses. The simplest cure is to impose discrete gauge symmetries, which in turn make…
We investigate the renormalization group evolution of masses and mixing angles of Majorana neutrinos under the `High Scale Mixing Unification' hypothesis. Assuming the unification of quark-lepton mixing angles at a high scale, we show that…
We show that in see-saw models with small or even vanishing lepton mixing angle $\theta_{12}$, maximal $\theta_{23}$, zero $\theta_{13}$ and zero CP phases at the GUT scale, the currently favored LMA solution of the solar neutrino problem…

Nonzero of mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ has some phenomenological consequences on neutrino physics beyond the standard model. If the mixing angle $\theta_{13}\neq 0$, then there is the possibility of the CP violation existence on the neutrino…
We study the minimal seesaw model, where two right-handed Majorana neutrinos are introduced, focusing on the CP violating phase. In addition, we take the trimaximal mixing pattern for the neutrino flavor where the charged lepton mass matrix…
We consider a $\mu-\tau$ symmetry in neutrino sectors realized at GUT scale in the context of a seesaw model. In our scenario, the exact $\mu-\tau$ symmetry realized in the basis where the charged lepton and heavy Majorana neutrino mass…
We consider a minimal formulation of SO(10) Grand Unified Theory wherein all the fermion masses arise from Yukawa couplings involving one 126 and one 10 of Higgs multiplets. It has recently been recognized that such theories can explain,…
Left right symmetric models (LRSM) are extensions of the standard model by an enlarged gauge group $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$ where automatic inclusion of right handed fermions as $SU(2)_R$ doublets guarantees a natural…
$\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry imposed on the neutrino mass matrix in the flavour basis is known to be quite predictive. We integrate this very specific neutrino symmetry into a more general framework based on the supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified…
Starting with the hypothesis that quark and lepton mixings are identical at or near the GUT scale, we show that the large solar and atmospheric neutrino mixing angles together with the small reactor angle $U_{e3}$ can be understood purely…
We study neutrino mass generation within the framework of non-holomorphic modular symmetry proposed by Qu and Ding. In this formalism, neutrino masses are generated via the Type-I seesaw mechanism, where the Yukawa couplings depend on…
The overall characteristics of the solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation are approximately consistent with a tribimaximal form of the mixing matrix $U$ of the lepton sector. Exact tribimaximal mixing leads to $\theta_{13}=0$. However,…

Given the Dirac neutrino mass term, we explore the constraint conditions which allow the corresponding mass matrix to be invariant under the \mu-\tau reflection transformation, leading us to the phenomenologically favored predictions…
In this paper, we propose a $G_{L-R}\times U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ gauge-symmetric model where $G_{L-R}$ is the left-right gauge symmetry and $L_i$ is the $i-$flavor lepton number. We use the spontaneous breaking (SSB) of $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$…
Symmetry-based ideas, such as the quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) principle and the tri-bimaximal mixing (TBM) scheme, have been proposed to explain the observed mixing pattern of neutrinos. We argue that such symmetry relations need to…
