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,…
We consider the $A_4$, $S_4$ and $A_5$ discrete lepton flavour symmetries in the case of 3-neutrino mixing, broken down to non-trivial residual symmetries in the charged lepton and neutrino sectors in such a way that at least one of them is…
Using data from atmospheric neutrino mixing, and a simple functional form for mixing angles, the absolute values of three neutrino masses are calculated: $m_3\cong 5.37\times 10^{-2} eV$, $m_2\cong 1.94\times 10^{-2} eV$, $m_1\cong…

Modular symmetries offer a dynamic approach to understanding the flavour structure of leptonic mixing. Using the modular $\mathcal{A}_4$ flavour symmetry integrated in a type-II seesaw, we propose a simple and minimalistic model that…

In this talk I discuss the qualitative features of an SO(10) SUSY GUT with an SU(2)x U(1)$^n$ family symmetry. I then describe the global fit of this theory to precision electroweak data [including charged fermion masses and mixing angles].…
Experiments on neutrino oscillations have uncovered several small parameters, $\theta_{13}$ being a prominent one. Others are the solar mass splitting {\em vis-\`{a}-vis} the atmospheric one and the deviation of $\theta_{23}$ from maximal…
We analyze the atmospheric neutrino experiments of Super-Kamiokande (830-920 live days) using the three-flavor neutrino framework with the mass hierarchy m_1 nearly equal m_2 << m_3. We study the sub-GeV, multi- GeV neutrinos and upward…
We discuss first the flavor mixing of the quarks, using the texture zero mass matrices. Then we study a similar model for the mass matrices of the leptons. We are able to relate the mass eigenvalues of the charged leptons and of the…
The implications of a large value of the effective Majorana neutrino mass for a class of two texture zero neutrino mass matrices have been studied in the flavor basis. It is found that these textures predict near maximal atmospheric…
The smallness of the $\theta_{13}$ mixing angle as observed in neutrino oscillation experiments can be understood through an approximated $\mu - \tau$ exchange symmetry in the neutrino mass matrix. Using recent oscillation neutrino data,…

After the successful determination of the reactor neutrino mixing angle \theta_13 ~ 0.16 \neq 0, a new feature suggested by the current neutrino oscillation data is a sizeable deviation of the atmospheric neutrino mixing angle \theta_23…
We discuss whether quark, charged lepton and neutrino masses and mixing angles may be related by an extended flavour and family symmetry group. We show that current measurements of all fermion masses and mixing angles are consistent with a…
The measurement of the deviation of the 2-3 leptonic mixing from maximal, D_23 = 1/2 - sin^2(theta_23), is one of the key issues for understanding the origin of the neutrino masses and mixing. In the three-neutrino context we study the…
