We perform a detailed study of lepton mixing patterns arising from a scenario with three Majorana neutrinos in which a discrete flavor group Gf=Delta (3 n^2) or Gf=Delta(6 n^2) and a CP symmetry are broken to residual symmetries Ge=Z3 and…
We consider trimaximal lepton mixing, defined by |U_{alpha 2}|^2 = 1/3 for all alpha = e, mu, tau. This corresponds to a two-parameter lepton mixing matrix U. We present a model for the lepton sector in which trimaximal mixing is enforced…
We study a neutrino mass model based on $S_4$ flavor symmetry which accommodates lepton mass, mixing with non-zero $\theta_{13}$ and CP violation phase. The spontaneous symmetry breaking in the model is imposed to obtain the realistic…
We prsent a lepton flavor model with $S_4$ and $U(1)_{\mathrm{FN}}$ symmetry. The left-handed leptons are assigned as a triplet under the $S_4$ symmetry, the right-handed electron and muon as $S_4$ doublets, and the right-handed tauon as an…
We note that a simple two parameter description of lepton mixing is possible which reproduces the features that apparently emerge from global fits at the 1\sigma level: if U_{e3} is non-zero it implies that the solar neutrino mixing…
We propose new lepton-mixing textures that may be enforced through well-defined symmetries in renormalizable models. Each of our textures has four sum rules for the neutrino mass observables. The models are based on the type-I seesaw…
The approximated tri-bimaximal mixing observed in the neutrino oscillations is a particular feature of a class of models characterized by the spontaneously broken horizontal flavour symmetry A4. In this paper, it is presented an analysis on…
Cobimaximal mixing predicts $\pi/4$ and $3\pi/2$ for the atmospheric angle and the Dirac CP-violating phase, respectively. These values are in tension with the neutrino globals fits. If this pattern was behind the lepton mixings, then it…
We propose a theory for fermion masses and mixings in which an $A_4$ family symmetry arises naturally from a six-dimensional spacetime after orbifold compactification. The flavour symmetry leads to the successful "golden" quark-lepton…
The lepton flavor mixing matrix having one row or one column in common with the bimaximal mixing up to permutations is still compatible with the present neutrino oscillation data. We provide a thorough exploration of generating such a…
We study the renormalization group running of the tri-bimaximal mixing predicted by the two typical $S_4$ flavor models at leading order. Although the textures of the mass matrices are completely different, the evolution of neutrino mass…
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…
Following the recent results from Daya Bay and RENO, which measure the lepton mixing angle theta^l_13 ~ 0.15, we revisit a supersymmetric S4 x SU(5) model, which predicts tri-bimaximal (TB) mixing in the neutrino sector with theta^l_13…
There are many mixing schemes based upon flavor symmetries that predict a vanishing $\theta_{13}$. These mixing schemes need corrections or modifications to account for recent experimental measurements of non-zero $\theta_{13}$. We propose…
We construct lepton flavour models based on two $A_4$ modular symmetries. The two $A_4$ are broken by a bi-triplet field to the diagonal $A_4$ subgroup, resulting in an effective modular $A_4$ flavour symmetry with two moduli. We employ…
We present a model of neutrino mixing based on the flavour group $\Delta(27)$ in order to account for the observation of a non-zero reactor mixing angle ($\theta_{13}$). The model provides a common flavour structure for the charged-lepton…
In a new application of the discrete non-Abelian symmetry A_4 using the canonical seesaw mechanism, a three-parameter form of the neutrino mass matrix is derived. It predicts the following mixing angles for neutrino oscillations:…
When the Higgs doublets in the 3HDM transform as a flavor triplet of the $A_4$ group, the lepton mass matrices accommodate the experimental neutrino mixing angles at arbitrary precision while maintaining the correct mass ordering of the…
In drawing on an analogy with the flavor mixing observed in the quark sector we discuss a pattern of large flavor mixing angles in the lepton sector. Simple arguments based on a democratic symmetry and its violation in the lepton sector…
We study a second CP symmetry compatible with the $A_4$ flavor group, which interchanges the representations $\mathbf{1}'$ and $\mathbf{1}"$. We analyze the lepton mixing patterns arising from the $A_4$ and CP symmetry broken to residual…
