We show that a non-vanishing angle theta_13 of order 0.1 can be predicted in the framework of discrete flavour symmetries. We assume that left-handed leptons transform as triplets under a group G_f which is broken in such a way that…

We propose a predictive model based on the $SU(3)_{C}\otimes SU(3)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{X}$ gauge group supplemented by the $A_{4}\otimes Z_{3}\otimes Z_{4}\otimes Z_{6}\otimes Z_{16}$ discrete group, which successfully describes the SM fermion…

Constrained Sequential neutrino Dominance of type 2 (referred to as CSD2) is an attractive building block for flavour Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) because it predicts a non-zero leptonic mixing angle $\theta_{13}^\text{PMNS}$, a deviation…

We have studied the lepton and quark mixing patterns which can be derived from the dihedral group $D_n$ in combination with CP symmetry. The left-handed lepton and quark doublets are assigned to the direct sum of a singlet and a doublet of…

The strategy of constraining the lepton flavor mixing from remnant CP symmetry is investigated in a rather general way. The neutrino mass matrix generally admits four remnant CP transformations which can be derived from the measured lepton…

We have investigated a flavour model [1] which inspired by small squared-mass difference measured in solar neutrino oscillation experiments and observability in neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. In our model, the $1^{\rm st.}$ and…

Model-independent consequences of applying a generalized hidden horizontal Z_2 symmetry to the neutrino mass matrix are explored. The Dirac CP phase delta_D can be expressed in terms of the three mixing angles as 4 c_a s_a c_s s_s s_x cos…

Working within the reference three-neutrino mixing framework, we confront the lepton mixing predictions derived using non-Abelian discrete flavour and CP symmetries with the first JUNO data on the solar neutrino mixing parameters…

There is a wide class of models which give a dynamical description of the origin of flavour in terms of spontaneous symmetry breaking of an underlying symmetry. Many of these models exhibit sum rules which relate on the one hand mixing…

We present minimalist constructions for lepton masses and mixing based on flavour symmetry under the modular group $\Gamma_N$ of lowest level $N=2$. As opposed to the only existing model of $\Gamma_2\cong S_3$ formulated in a SUSY…

Sum rules in the lepton sector provide an extremely valuable tool to classify flavour models in terms of relations between neutrino masses and mixing parameters testable in a plethora of experiments. In this manuscript we identify new…

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…

The lepton mixing angles of the PMNS matrix are predicted based on the lepton flavor symmetry of a finite group $C_2\times D_3$, where the cyclic group $C_2$ acts on the charged lepton mass terms and the dihedral group $D_3$ on the neutrino…

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…

We perform a comprehensive study of the $\Delta (96)$ family symmetry combined with the generalised CP symmetry $H_{\rm{CP}}$. We investigate the lepton mixing parameters which can be obtained from the original symmetry $\Delta (96)\rtimes…

We discuss our recently proposed S3(down)xS3(up) flavour-permutation-symmetric mixing observables, giving expressions for them in terms of (moduli-squared) of the mixing matrix elements. We outline their successful use in providing…

Flavour symmetries appropriate for describing a neutrino spectrum with degenerate solar pair and a third massive or massless neutrino are discussed. We demand that the required residual symmetries of the leptonic mass matrices be subgroups…

Discrete flavour groups have been studied in connection with special patterns of neutrino mixing suggested by the data, such as Tri-Bimaximal mixing (groups A4, S4...) or Bi-Maximal mixing (group S4...) etc. We review the predictions for…

Present data prefer a large but non-maximal 2-3 mixing in the lepton sector. We argue that this value, in connection with $\sin\theta_{13}\simeq 0.15$, is the generic outcome of minimal flavour structures. We present a few different…

Models of leptonic flavour with discrete symmetries can provide an attractive explanation of the pattern of elements found in the leptonic mixing matrix. The next generation of neutrino oscillation experiments will allow the mixing…
