We revisit the minimal supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theory with three right-handed neutrinos in which universality conditions for soft-supersymmetry breaking parameters are imposed at an input scale above the unification scale. If the…
We consider a neutrino mass generating model which employs a scalar leptoquark, $\Delta$, and a scalar diquark, $S$. The new scalars $\Delta$ and $S$ carry the standard model $SU(3)_c\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ quantum numbers $(3,1,-1/3)$…

We investigate the lepton flavor violation in the framework of the MSSM with right-handed neutrinos taking the large mixing angle MSW solution in the quasi-degenerate and the inverse-hierarchical neutrino masses. We predict the branching…
We propose a model based on the gauge group $SU(3)_{C}\otimes SU(3)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{X}$ with an extra $S_{3}$ flavor symmetry, which accounts for the lepton masses and mixing. The small active neutrino masses are generated via a double…
The minimal flavor structures for both quarks and leptons are proposed to address fermion mass hierarchy and flavor mixings by bi-unitary decomposition of the fermion mass matrix. The real matrix ${\bf M}_0^f$ is completely responsive to…
We show that the $3\times 3$ lepton flavor mixing matrix $V$ can be expanded in powers of a Wolfenstein-like parameter $\Lambda \equiv |V_{\mu 3}| \sim 1/\sqrt{2}$, which measures the strength of flavor conversion in atmospheric neutrino…
There are experimental indications of large flavor mixing between $\nu_{\mu }$ and $\nu_{\tau}$. In the unification models, in which the massless sector includes extra particles beyond the standard model, there possibly appear the mixings…
Both neutrinoless double beta decay and leptogenesis require neutrinos to be Majorana fermions. A relation between these two phenomena can be derived once the mechanism of neutrino mass generation is specified. We first derive the…
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 study the CP violation effects from two types of neutrino mass matrices with (i) $(M_\nu)_{ee}=0$, and (ii) $(M_\nu)_{ee}=(M_\nu)_{e\mu}=0$, which can be realized by the high dimensional lepton number violating operators $\bar…
We have investigated the lepton flavor violation in the supersymmetric framework assuming the large mixing angle MSW solution with the quasi-degenerate and the inverse-hierarchical neutrino masses. In the case of the quasi-degenerate…
We have performed a systematical analysis of lepton and quark masses models based on $\Gamma_4\cong S_4$ modular symmetry with gCP symmetry. We have considered both cases that neutrinos are Majorana particles and Dirac particles. All…
Models of minimal lepton flavor violation where the seesaw scale is higher than the relevant flavor scale predict that all lepton flavor violation is proportional to the charged lepton Yukawa matrix. If extra vector-like leptons are within…
We hunt for and discuss manifestly CP-violating effects which are mediated by Majorana phases. These phases are present if the Standard Model neutrinos are Majorana particles. We argue that while Majorana phases do affect the strength of…
In view of the latest T2K and MINOS neutrino oscillation data which hint at a relatively large theta_13, we perform a systematic study of the Majorana neutrino mass matrix M_nu with two independent texture zeros. We show that three neutrino…
A mechanism has been suggested recently to generate the neutrino mass out of a dimension-seven operator. This is expected to relieve the tension between the occurrence of a tiny neutrino mass and the observability of other physics effects…
Discrete flavor symmetry is explored for an intrinsic property of mass matrix forms of quarks and leptons. In this paper we investigate the S3 permutation symmetry and derive the general forms of mass matrices in various types of S3…
