We assess a mechanism which can transform neutrino-antineutrino asymmetries between flavors in the early universe, and confirm that such transformation is unavoidable in the near bi-maximal framework emerging for the neutrino mixing matrix.…
We explore the feasibility of the discrete flavor symmetry $S_3$ to explain the pattern of neutrino masses and mixings. In the flavor basis, the neutrino mass matrix is taken to be invariant under $S_3$ symmetry at the zeroth order. The…
$\mu\nu$SSM is an $R$-parity violating non-minimal supersymmetric model which uses right chiral neutrino superfields to solve the $\mu$-problem. The $R$-parity violation together with a TeV scale seesaw mechanism using right handed…
We present a complete analysis of scenarios with radiatively generated neutrino masses that may occur in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with low-scale right-handed neutrinos. For brevity, we call such a model the $\nu_R$MSSM. We…
We describe how bi-maximal neutrino mixing can be realized in realistic models based on MSSM and SUSY GUTs such as SU(5) and SO(10). A crucial role is played by an anomalous ${\cal U}(1)$ flavor symmetry, which also helps understand the…
We study a neutrino mass model with $A_4$ discrete flavor symmetry using a type-I seesaw mechanism. The inclusion of extra flavons in our model leads to the deviations from exact tribimaximal mixing pattern resulting in a nonzero…
After summarizing neutrino oscillation results I discuss high and low-scale seesaw mechanisms, with or without supersymmetry, as well as recent attempts to understand the pattern of neutrino mixing from flavor symmetries. I also mention the…
We present a new mechanism to explain naturally and through a common flavour symmetry the mildly hierarchical neutrino masses with large mixings and the hierarchical Yukawa matrices with small mixing angles. Although this mechanism is not…
The problem of neutrino masses and mixing angles is analysed in a class of supersymmetric grand unified models, with SO(10) gauge symmetry and global U(2) flavour symmetry. Adopting the seesaw mechanism for the generation of the neutrino…
Lepton flavour violation and neutrino masses are a signal for new Physics beyond the Standard Model and are deeply related. The minimal extension of the Standard Model to make it include neutrino masses is not satisfactory from a conceptual…
Current neutrino oscillation data indicate that the $3\times 3$ Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix $U$ exhibits a $\mu$-$\tau$ flavor interchange symmetry $|U^{}_{\mu i}| = |U^{}_{\tau i}|$ (for $i = 1, 2, 3$) as a good approximation.…
Radiative corrections to neutrino mixings in seesaw models depend on the nature of new physics between the weak and the GUT-seesaw scales and can be taken into account using the renormalization group equations. This new physics effect…
We argue that the tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing pattern $V_0$ or its generalized form $V'_0$, which includes two arbitrary Majorana phases of CP violation, may result from an underlying flavor symmetry at a superhigh energy scale close to…
A new framework for handling flavor symmetry breaking in the neutrino sector is discussed where the source of symmetry breaking is traced to the global property of right-handed neutrinos in extra-dimensional space. Light neutrino…
In the simplest version of a $\mathbf{Q}_{6}$ flavored supersymmetric model, we analyze the leptonic masses and mixings in the framework of a soft breaking of the $\mu \leftrightarrow \tau$ symmetry. This breaking is controlled by the…
Low energy supersymmetry with bilinear breaking of R-parity leads to a weak-scale seesaw mechanism for the atmospheric neutrino scale and a radiative mechanism for the solar neutrino scale. The model has striking implications for collider…
In this paper we discuss a new way to derive neutrino mixing patterns, which originates from the idea proposed in a recent article by Hernandez and Smirnov. Its applications to various cases are discussed. We first present the complete set…
Using the neutrino oscillations and neutrinoless double beta decay experimental data we reconstructed an upper limit for the three generation neutrino mass matrix. We compared this matrix with the predictions of the minimal…
We consider the supersymmetric seesaw mechanism induced by the exchange of heavy SU(2)_W triplet states, rather than `right-handed' neutrino singlets, to generate neutrino masses. We show that in this scenario the neutrino flavour structure…
We analyze the structure of quark and lepton mass matrices under the hypothesis that they are determined from a minimum principle applied to a generic potential invariant under the $\left[SU(3)\right]^5\otimes \mathcal O(3)$ flavor…
