We study a variety of different texture patterns in the basis in which the charged lepton mass matrix or neutrino mass matrix or neither are diagonal. The experimental results on the neutrinos provide sufficient restrictions to allow only a…
We evaluate the predictive power of the neutrino mass matrices arising from seesaw mechanism with heavy Majorana mass matrices subject to texture zero and satisfy a cyclic permutation invariant form to the solar neutrino mixing phenomena.…
An attempt is made to generate the bimaximal mixings of the three species of neutrinos from the textures of the right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrices. We extend our earlier work in this paper for the generation of the nearly…
The inverse neutrino seesaw, characterised by only one source of lepton number violation at an ultralight $O$(keV) scale and observable new phenomena at TeV energies accessible to the LHC, is considered. Maximal zero textures of the…
We investigate neutrino mass model based on $A_4$ discrete flavor symmetry in type-I+II seesaw framework. The model has imperative predictions for neutrino masses, mixing and $CP$ violation testable in the current and upcoming neutrino…
The effects of the lightest neutrino mass in ``flavoured'' leptogenesis are investigated in the case when the CP-violation necessary for the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is due exclusively to the Dirac and/or Majorana…
In order to explain the fermion masses and mixings naturally, we introduce a specific flavor symmetry and mass suppression pattern that constrain the flavor structure of the fermion Yukawa couplings. Our model describes why the hierarchy of…
Recent research has indicated that the Standard Model (SM), while historically highly effective, is found to be insufficient due to its prediction of zero mass for neutrinos. With the exception of a few, the majority of the parameters…
We investigate the prospects for scenarios with vanishing determinant neutrino mass matrices and vanishing $\theta_{13}$ mixing angle. Normal and inverse mass hierarchies are considered separately. For normal hierarchy it is found that…
We study the phenomenological implications of the recent neutrino data for class B of two texture zeros and two vanishing cofactors for Majorana neutrinos in the flavor basis. We find that classes $B_{1}$($B_2$) of two texture zeros and…
We show that the Fritzsch texture of lepton mass matrices can naturally lead to the bi-large flavor mixing pattern, if three neutrinos have a normal but weak mass hierarchy (typically, $m_1 : m_2 : m_3 \sim 1 : 3 :10$). The effective mass…
Several popular Ans\"atze of lepton mass matrices that contain texture zeros are confronted with current neutrino observational data. We perform a systematic $\chi^2$-analysis in a wide class of schemes, considering arbitrary Hermitian…
We study a neutrino mass model based on $S_4$ flavor symmetry which accommodates lepton mass, mixing with non-zero $\theta_{13}$ and CP violation phase. The spontaneous symmetry breaking in the model is imposed to obtain the realistic…
Right-handed neutrinos $\nu_R$ play a crucial role in flavor-changing neutral-current processes with missing energy, such as $b\to s + \slashed{E} $ and $d\to s + \slashed{E} $, where Belle-II reports unexpectedly large branching fraction…
We present a novel scheme where Dirac neutrinos are realized even if lepton number violating Majorana mass terms are present. The setup is the Randall-Sundrum framework with bulk right handed neutrinos. Bulk mass terms of both Majorana and…
A general approach for construction of quark and lepton mass matrices is formulated. The hierarchy of quarks and charged leptons ("electrons") is large, it leads using the experimental values of mixing angles to the hierarchical mass matrix…
The leptogenesis is studied in the neutrino textures with two zeros, which reduce the number of independent phases of the CP violation. The phenomenological favored neutrino textures with two zeros are decomposed into the Dirac neutrino…
We note that the emerging features of lepton mixing can be reproduced if, with inverted neutrino mass ordering, both the smallest neutrino mass and the $\tau\tau$ element of the neutrino mass matrix vanish. Then, the atmospheric neutrino…
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…
We further study the "complementary" Ansatz, Tr$(M_\nu)$=0, for a prediagonal light Majorana type neutrino mass matrix. Previously, this was studied for the CP conserving case and the case where the two Majorana type CP violating phases…
