We analyze the different parametrizations of a general four-zero texture mass matrices for quarks and leptons, that are able to reproduce the CKM and PMNS mixing matrices. This study is done through a Chi-Square analysis. In quark sector,…
A model with fermion and scalar fields charged under a Peccei-Queen~(PQ) symmetry is proposed. The PQ charges are chosen in such a way that they can reproduce mass matrices with five texture zeros, {which can generate} the fermion masses,…

We show that a large class of sets of leptonic texture zeros considered in the literature imply the vanishing of certain CP-odd weak-basis invariants. These invariant conditions enable one to recognize a flavour model corresponding to a set…
We systematically investigate the parameter space of neutrino and charged lepton mass matrices for textures motivated by an extended quark-lepton complementarity. As the basic hypothesis, we postulate that all mixing angles in U_l and U_nu…
The leptogenesis is studied in the neutrino textures with two zeros, which reduce the number of independent phases of the CP violation. The phenomenological favored neutrino textures with two zeros are decomposed into the Dirac neutrino…
Within the low scale resonant leptogenesis scenario, the cosmological CP asymmetry may arise by radiative corrections through the charged lepton Yukawa couplings. While in some cases, as one expects, decisive role is played by the…
Combining the KSVZ axion model and the type-I seesaw mechanism, we construct a minimal flavored axion model that can affect the neutrino mass matrix. This minimal model requires a flavor dependent PQ charge assignment and two additional…
In an attempt to find minimal scenarios we study the implications of Dirac and Majorana mass matrices with texture zeros within the type I seesaw mechanism. For the Dirac mass matrices we consider 5 zero textures which we show to be the…
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…
Under the exponential parametrization scheme $ m^{\nu}_{ij}\sim r e^{i \theta}$, we propose a \emph{unique} neutrino mass matrix texture that exhibits four correlations among its elements. The mixing scheme obtained from the proposed…
Within the framework of grand unified theories, we make full analysis of symmetric texture to see if such texture can reproduce large neutrino mixings, which have recently been confirmed by the observed solar and atmospheric neutrino…
We present in this talk a model based on SO(10) x SU(2)_{F} having symmetric mass textures with 5 zeros constructed by us recently. The symmetric mass textures arising from the left-right symmetry breaking chain of SO(10) give rise to good…
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 study the predictions for CP phases and absolute neutrino mass scale for broad classes of models with a U(2) flavor symmetry. For this purpose we consider the same special textures in neutrino and charged lepton mass matrices that are…
We present a detailed analysis and phenomenological consequences of neutrino mass matrix, $M_{\nu}$, with one-zero texture in the flavor basis where the active neutrino sector is extended by one sterile neutrino (3+1 case). In particular,…
We show that it is possible to enforce texture zeros in arbitrary entries of the fermion mass matrices by means of Abelian symmetries; in this way, many popular mass-matrix textures find a symmetry justification. We propose two alternative…
We construct a flavour guided model that realises the distinctive Echo 12-23 Texture in the neutrino mass matrix through a non-trivial interplay of symmetries. While the model accounts for charged lepton mass hierarchy, the texture offers…
We discuss consequences of assuming ($i$) that the (Majorana) neutrino mass matrix $M_\nu$ displays flavour antisymmetry, $S_\nu^T M_\nu S_\nu=-M_\nu$ with respect to some discrete symmetry $S_\nu$ contained in $SU(3)$ and ($ii$) $S_\nu$…
The implementation of maximally restrictive texture zeros in the leptonic sector is investigated in the context of two-Higgs-doublet models with Majorana neutrinos. After analyzing all maximally restrictive pairs of leptonic mass matrices…
