In the context of the non-Abelian discrete symmetry $A_4$, the neutrino mass matrix has been studied extensively. A brief update is presented to focus on the conceptual shift from tribimaximal mixing ($\theta_{13} = 0$, $\theta_{23} =…

In this paper, we derive in a novel approach the possible textures of neutrino mass matrix that can lead to maximal atmospherical mixing angle ($\theta^{}_{23} = \pi/4$) and Dirac CP phase ($\delta = - \pi/2$) in two phenomenologically…

By assuming there exist three massive non-degenerate Majorana neutrinos, it is possible to describe neutrino mixing with a residual, unbroken discrete Klein subgroup of a larger spontaneously broken flavor symmetry group. Motivated by…

Global fits to neutrino oscillation data are compatible with tri-bimaximal mixing pattern, which predicts $\theta_{23} = \frac{\pi}{4}, \theta_{12} = \sin^{-1} (\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})$ and $\theta_{13} = 0$. We propose here to parametrize the…

Recent data of reactor neutrino experiments set more stringent constraint on leptonic mixing patterns. We examine all possible patterns on the basis of combinations of elementary correlations of elements of leptonic mixing matrix. we obtain…

We study in detail the sensitivity of neutrino oscillation probabilities to the fundamental neutrino parameters and their possible determination through experiments. The first part of the paper is devoted to the broad theme of isolating…

It has recently been shown that the phenomenologically successful pattern of cobimaximal neutrino mixing ($\theta_{13} \neq 0$, $\theta_{23} = \pi/4$, and $\delta_{CP} = \pm \pi/2$) may be achieved in the context of the non-Abelian discrete…

Inspired by the neutrino oscillations data, we consider the exact $\mu-\tau$ symmetry, implemented at the level of the neutrino mass matrix, as a good initial framework around which to study and describe neutrino phenomenology. Working in…

We compute up-down asymmetries for atmospheric neutrino induced electron and muon events in the SuperKamiokande detector for the following neutrino oscillation models: (A) maximally mixed $\nu_{\mu} - \nu_{\tau}$ or $\nu_{\mu} - \nu_s$, (B)…

We study finite quantum corrections for several well known neutrino mixing matrices and find that it is hard to account for the large value of \theta_13 recently reported by T2K and MINOS. To nicely reproduce all experimentally favored…

We derive a set of symmetry relations for the three-neutrino mixing angles, including the MSW matter effect. Though interesting in their own right, these relations are used to choose the physical region of the mixing angles such that…

We conjecture that the neutrino mixing matrix must be such that in the flavour oscillation process the energy expectation values enjoy flavour independence. Based on this conjecture we present unitarity and energy conservation constraints…

We examine some patterns of Majorana neutrino mass matrix which is compatible with the phenomenological lepton flavor mixing matrix and non-observation of neutrinoless double beta decay. Imposing $(M_{\nu})_{ee}=0$ for the Majorana neutrino…

Implication of neutrino mass model based on $\Delta$(27) discrete flavor symmetry, on parameters of neutrino oscillations, CP violation and effective neutrino masses is studied using type-I seesaw mechanism. The Standard Model particle…

The Daya Bay and RENO reactor neutrino experiments have revealed that the smallest neutrino mixing angle is in fact relatively large, i.e., theta_13 ~ 9 degrees. Motivated by this exciting progress, we perform a systematic study of the…

We demonstrate that under the "symmetric zero texture" with minimal Majorana mass matrix, neutrino masses and mixing angles are expressed in terms of up-quark masses, $m_t,m_c,m_u$. This provides interesting relations among neutrino mixing…

We account for the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems by introducing maximal mixing between conventional and sterile neutrino partners. We achieve this by invoking a seesaw-like mechanism which not only provides us with maximally mixed…

We apply the permutation symmetry S_3 to both charged-lepton and neutrino mass matrices, and suggest a useful symmetry-breaking scheme, in which the flavor symmetry is explicitly broken down via S_3 -> Z_3 -> nothing in the charged-lepton…

We point out that the observed neutrino mixing pattern at low energies is very likely to originate from the 3 times 3 lepton flavor mixing matrix U which possesses the exact mu-tau permutation symmetry |U_{mu i}| = |U_{tau i}| (for i=1,2,3)…

Current neutrino experimental data on neutrino mixing are well describes by Tri-bi-maximal mixing, which is predicts sin^{2}\theta_{12}=1/3,zero U_{e3} and \theta_{23}=45^{o}. We consider the planck scale operator on neutrino mixing. We…
