Motivated by string constructions, we consider a variant on the Type II see-saw mechanism involving the exchange of triplet representations of SU(2)_L in which this group arises from a diagonal embedding into SU(2)_A x SU(2)_B. A natural…
We present a simple extension of the Standard Model with three right-handed neutrinos in a SUSY framework, with an additional U(1$)_\text{F}$ abelian flavor symmetry with a non standard leptonic charge $L_e-L_\mu-L_\tau$ for lepton doublets…
We demonstrate how a class of non-supersymmetric $SO(10)$ GUT with asymmetric left-right theory $SU(2)_L \times U(1)_R \times U(1)_{B-L} \times SU(3)_C$ and Pati-Salam theory $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times SU(4)_C$ as intermediate symmetry…
The $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_N$ model of Pisano and Pleitez extends the Standard Model in a particularly nice way, so that for example the anomalies cancel only when the number of generations is divisible by three. The original…
In the context of a typical model for fermion mass matrices, possibly based on the horizontal U(2) symmetry, we explore the effect of the type II seesaw mechanism on lepton mixings. We find that the combined contribution of type I and type…
We study the lepton sector in the model based on the local gauge group $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_X$ which do not contain particles with exotic electric charges. The seesaw mechanism and discrete $A_4$ symmetry are introduced into…
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…
Motivated by the fact that, in some realistic models combining SO(10) GUTs and flavour symmetries, it is not possible to achieve the required baryon asymmetry through the CP asymmetry generated in the decay of right-handed neutrinos, we…
Freedom from global anomalies in the presence of a local SU(2)_H horizontal symmetry under which right handed charged leptons transform nontrivially requires that there be at least two right handed neutrinos with masses of order of the…
We consider the low energy constraints that can be applied to type I see-saw extensions of the Standard Model in which the right-handed neutrinos are taken at the electroweak scale. In the reported scenarios, the flavour structure of the…
We consider a supersymmetric model motivated by a SO(10) grand unified theory: the gauge sector near the supersymmetry scale consists of SU(3)_c x SU(2)_L x U(1)_R x U(1)_{B-L}. We embed this model in minimal gauge mediation and incorporate…
In type I seesaw models with flavor symmetries accounting for the lepton mixing angles the CP asymmetry in right-handed neutrino decays vanishes in the limit in which the mixing pattern is exact. We study the implications that additional…
The content of physical massess, mixing angles and CP-violating phases in the lepton sector of extended standard model, both renormalizable and non-renormalizable, with arbitrary numbers of the singlet and left-handed doublet neutrinos is…
In these lecture notes we present mechanisms for the generation of Majorana neutrino masses and lepton mixing. We consider simple extensions of the Standard Model. Apart from a section about radiative mass generation, we put special…
Curiously in the minimal left right symmetric model, chiral symmetry that protects the electron's mass ($m_e$), due to parity (P), implies in the symmetry limit the vanishing of its neutrino mixing angles. We break the chiral symmetry…
We study leptogenesis in supersymmetric SO(10) models with a left-right symmetric seesaw mechanism, including flavour effects and the contribution of the next-to-lightest right-handed neutrino. Assuming M_D = M_u and hierarchical light…
We introduce a method to extract the right-handed neutrino mass matrix from the Left-Right symmetric seesaw formula and apply it to the study of a simple SUSY SO(10) theory. We find 8 possible solutions for the heavy neutrino spectrum and a…
A realistic scheme for masses and mixing of leptons is investigated in the model with gauged SO(3) lepton flavor symmetry. Within this scheme, a nearly `bi-maximal' neutrino mixing pattern with maximal CP-violating phase is found to be the…
By using two primary doublets and one induced bidoublet Higgs fields as a result of the interactions of the two doublets, we evaluate the predictive power of the left-right symmetry model based on $SU(2)_{L}\otimes SU(2)_{R}\otimes U(1)$…
We investigate low-scale resonant leptogenesis in an $SU(5) \times \mathcal{T}_{13}$ model where a single high energy phase in the complex Tribimaximal seesaw mixing produces the yet-to-be-observed low energy Dirac and Majorana ${CP}$…
