We propose a neutrino model based on a $\Delta(54)$ flavor symmetry suitable for explaining the current neutrino oscillation data. Neutrino masses arise from the type II seesaw mechanism where the $\Delta(54)$ field assignments has led to a…
Using the residual symmetry approach, we propose a complex extension of the scaling ansatz on $M_\nu$ which allows a nonzero mass for each of the three light neutrinos as well as a nonvanishing $\theta_{13}$. Leptonic Dirac CP violation…

Working in the framework of three chiral neutrinos with Majorana masses, we investigate a scenario where the neutrino mass matrix is strictly off-diagonal in the flavor basis, with all its diagonal entries precisely zero.
We investigate the properties of neutrino mass matrices that incorporate texture zeros and generalized CP symmetries associated with tribimaximal mixing. By combining these approaches, we derive predictive neutrino mass matrices and explore…
