We diagonalize Majorana neutrino mass matrix with the help of PMNS matrix and obtain analytical relations between the mass matrix elements and mixing parameters, viz., three mixing angles- $\theta_{12}, \theta_{23}, \theta_{13}$ and Dirac…

In this paper, we obtain the light neutrino masses and mixings consistent with the experiments, in the democratic texture approach. The essential ansatz is that $\nu_{Ri}$ are assumed to transform as "right-handed fields" $\bf 2_{R} +…
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…

A highly predictive neutrino mass matrix texture is proposed. The texture is minimal and carries two interesting correlations. It gives precise and unambiguous answers to almost all the current issues related to observable parameters in…
In spite of enormous experimental progress in determination of the neutrino parameters, theory of neutrino mass and mixing is still on the cross-roads. Guidelines could be (i) the connection between zero neutrino charges (and therefore a…
As is well known, the smallest neutrino mass turns out to be vanishing in the minimal seesaw model, since the effective neutrino mass matrix $M^{}_\nu$ is of rank two due to the fact that only two heavy right-handed neutrinos are…
The $\mu\tau$-reflection symmetric neutrino mass matrix can accommodate all known neutrino mixing angles, with maximal atmospheric angle fixed, and predicts all the unknown CP phases of the lepton sector but is unable to predict the…
We study the zero textures of the Yukawa matrices in the minimal extended type-I seesaw (MES) model which can give rise to $\sim$ eV scale sterile neutrinos. In this model, three right handed neutrinos and one extra singlet $S$ are added to…
We demonstrate the usefulness of flavour neutrino masses expressed in terms of $M_{ee},M_{e\mu}$ and $M_{e\tau}$. The analytical expressions for the flavour neutrino masses, mass eigenstates and physical CP-violating Majorana phases for…
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…
I investigate viable textures with two texture zeros for the inverted neutrino mass matrix, and present the predictions of those textures for the neutrino masses and for lepton mixing. By using an Abelian symmetry and one or two heavy…
We investigate Linear and Inverse seesaw mechanisms with maximal zero textures of the constituent matrices subjected to the assumption of non-zero eigenvalues for the neutrino mass matrix $m_\nu$ and charged lepton mass matrix $m_e$. If we…
With the recent observation of nonzero \theta_{13}, five neutrino oscillation parameters are now known. By imposing four zeros in the Yukawa coupling matrix of the type I seesaw model, the number of parameters in the neutrino mass matrix is…
With the motivation of simultaneously explaining dark matter and neutrino masses, mixing angles, we have invoked the Type-II seesaw model extended by an extra $SU(2)$ doublet $\Phi$. Moreover, we have imposed a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ parity on…
A four-parameter Majorana neutrino mass matrix is proposed, which is exactly diagonalizable with two mixing angles, one of which is pi/4 and the other large but less than pi/4. The form of this mass matrix allows seven realizations of the…
The three electroweak doublet neutrinos $\nu_{e,\mu,\tau}$ of the Standard Model may acquire small seesaw masses, using either three Majorana fermion singlets $N$ or three Majorana fermion triplets $(\Sigma^+,\Sigma^0,\Sigma^-)$. It is…
A neutrino mass matrix model with a bilinear form $M_\nu = k_\nu (M_D M_R^{-1} M_D^T)^2$ is proposed within the framework of the so-called yukawaon model, which has been proposed for the purpose of a unified description of the lepton mixing…
Assuming that a horizontal abelian (gauge) symmetry is at the origin of texture zeros in the fermion mass matrices we show how realistic mass patterns can be generated stepwise with a small number of effective operators from GUT's and…
