We perform a systematic search for simple but viable lepton mixing patterns. Our main criterion is that the mixing matrix can be parameterized by three rotation angles, which are simple fractions of pi. These simple rotation angles possess…
We perform a detailed study of lepton mixing patterns arising from a scenario with three Majorana neutrinos in which a discrete flavor group Gf=Delta (3 n^2) or Gf=Delta(6 n^2) and a CP symmetry are broken to residual symmetries Ge=Z3 and…
The search for possible mixing patterns of charged leptons and neutrinos is important to get clues of the origin of nearly maximal mixings, since there are some preferred bases of the lepton mass matrices given by underlying theories. We…
Assuming three generations of Majorana neutrinos, we study the different mixing patterns that arise from the non-trivial breaking of the flavor group A5 and CP to the residual symmetries Z3, Z5 or Z2 x Z2 in the charged lepton and to Z2 x…
We study a 3-3-1 model based on non-Abelian discrete symmetry group $T_{13}$ which accommodates lepton mixing with non-zero $\theta_{13}$ and CP violation phase. The neutrinos get small masses and mixing with CP violation phase from…
The group $\Sigma(36\times3)$ with the generalized CP transformation is introduced to predict the mixing pattern of leptons. Various combinations of abelian residual flavor symmetries with CP transformations are surveyed. Six mixing…
The pattern of lepton mixing can emerge from breaking a flavor symmetry in different ways in the neutrino and charged lepton Yukawa sectors. In this framework, we derive the conditions imposed on the mixing matrix by the structure of…
We present a systematic study of 400 combinations of the charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices with six vanishing entries or texture zeros. Only 24 of them, which can be classified into a few distinct categories, are found to be…
Recently, the reactor mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ has been measured precisely by Daya Bay, RENO and T2K experiments with a moderately large value. However, the standard form of neutrino mixing patterns such as bimaximal, tri-bimaximal,…
Lepton mixing patterns from the modular group $PSL_2(7)$ with generalised CP symmetries are studied. The residual symmetries in both charged leptons and neutrinos sector are $Z_{2}\times CP$. Seven types of mixing patterns at the $3\sigma$…
Including the generalized CP symmetry, we have performed a comprehensive scan of leptonic mixing patterns which can be obtained from finite discrete groups with order less than 2000. Both the semidirect approach and its variant are…
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…
To accommodate the recently observed non-zero reactor mixing angle $\theta_{13}$, we consider the lepton mixing matrix as Tri-bimaximal mixing (TBM) form in the leading order along with a perturbation in neutrino sector. The perturbation is…
We phenomenologically build a neutrino mass matrix obeying $\mu-\tau$ symmetry with only two parameters, Cabibbo angle $(\lambda)$ and a flavour twister parameter $(\eta)$. For vanishing $\eta$, the model assumes TBM mixing. When…
We perform an exhaustive analysis of all possible breaking patterns arising from $S_4\rtimes H_{CP}$ in a new {\it tri-direct CP approach} to the minimal seesaw model with two right-handed neutrinos, and construct a realistic flavour model…
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…
The recent discovery of a non-zero value of the mixing angle theta_13 has ruled out tri-bimaximal mixing as the correct lepton mixing pattern generated by some discrete flavor symmetry (barring large next-to-leading order corrections in…
To search for possible textures of lepton mass matrices, we systematically examine flavor mixing structures which can lead to large lepton mixing angles. We find out 37 mixing patterns are consistent with experimental data, taking into…
We present a supersymmetric model with the flavour symmetry S4 x Z3 and a CP symmetry which are broken to a Z3 subgroup of the flavour symmetry in the charged lepton sector and to Z2 x CP (x Z3) in the neutrino one at leading order. This…
We present a model of neutrino mixing based on the flavour group $\Delta(27)$ in order to account for the observation of a non-zero reactor mixing angle ($\theta_{13}$). The model provides a common flavour structure for the charged-lepton…
