Inspired by the neutrino oscillations data, we consider the exact $\mu-\tau$ symmetry, implemented at the level of the neutrino mass matrix, as a good initial framework around which to study and describe neutrino phenomenology. Working in…

We propose a simple mechanism which enforces |U_{mu j}| = | U_{tau j}| forall j = 1,2,3 in the lepton mixing matrix U. This implies maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing and a maximal CP-violating phase but does not constrain the reactor…

We consider minimal type-I seesaw framework to realize $ \mu-\tau $ reflection symmetry in the low-energy neutrino mass matrix, $ M_{\nu} $. Considering DUNE experiment, we scrutinize its potential to measure the precision of 2-3 mixing…

In this work, we construct an A4-based flavor symmetry model within the framework of the type-I seesaw mechanism to realize a light neutrino mass matrix consistent with mu-tau reflection symmetry. The entire framework is based on the…

I argue that the observed flavor structures of leptons and quarks might imply the existence of certain flavor symmetries. The latter should be a good starting point to build realistic models towards deeper understanding of the fermion mass…

We examine the possibility that the lepton mixing matrix may exhibit a strong form of mu-tau universality, in which corresponding elements of the mu- and tau-neutrino flavour eigenstates have equal moduli, and find that it is consistent…

We study origin, consequences and testability of a hypothesis of `partial $\mu$-$\tau$' reflection symmetry. This symmetry predicts $ |U_{\mu i}|=|U_{\tau i}|~(i=1,2,3) $ for a single column of the leptonic mixing matrix $U$. Depending on…

Using the type-II seesaw mechanism with three Higgs doublets phi_alpha (alpha = e, mu, tau) and four Higgs triplets, we build a model for lepton mixing based on a 384-element horizontal symmetry group, generated by the permutation group S_3…

In this letter, we consider exact $\mu-\tau$ reflection symmetries for quarks and leptons. Fermion mass matrices are assumed to be four-zero textures for charged fermions $f = u,d,e$ and a symmetric matrix for neutrinos $\nu_{L}$. By a…

Assuming the Majorana nature of massive neutrinos, we generalize the Friedberg-Lee neutrino mass model to include CP violation in the neutrino mass matrix $M^{}_\nu$. We show that a favorable neutrino mixing pattern (with $\theta^{}_{12}…

We introduce a new texture for neutrino mixing named Tri-Permuting (TP) mixing matrix. This pattern is characterized by maximal solar and atmospheric angles and by a large reactor angle satisfying sin(theta_13)=1/3. The correct lepton…

We investigate the phenomenology of a unified neutrino mixing framework, which serves as the origin of well-known neutrino mixing schemes such as the tribimaximal mixing (TBM), bimaximal mixing (BM), golden ratio mixing (GRM) and hexagonal…

We focus on the use of a mu-tau interchange symmetry to explain features of lepton mixing, especially maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing. We review two models which achieve this goal and are based on the seesaw mechanism and on the soft…

In this paper, we generally analyze the $\mu - \tau$ reflection symmetry modified by small mixings of charged leptons and how will future experiments verify deviations from the predictions of the symmetry. As an approximation, the…

We exam the pairs of neutrino mixing matrix and suggest pairs that can be used in the construction of new mixing patterns, with "pair" denoting the equality of the modulus of a pair of matrix elements. The results show that the tri-maximal…

We propose a $\mu-\tau$ reflection symmetric Littlest Seesaw ($\mu\tau$-LSS) model. In this model the two mass parameters of the LSS model are fixed to be in a special ratio by symmetry, so that the resulting neutrino mass matrix in the…

The near maximal value for the atmospheric neutrino mixing angle together with the fact that the solar mixing angle satisfies the relation $\sin^2\theta_\odot\simeq {1/3}$ is the basis for the so called tri-bimaximal mixing (tbm) when…

In this paper, we impose a magic symmetry on the neutrino mass matrix $m_{\nu}$ with universal four-zero texture and diagonal reflection symmetries. Due to the magic symmetry, the MNS matrix has trimaximal mixing inevitably. Since the…

In light of the recent neutrino experiment results from Daya Bay and RENO Collaborations, we study phenomenology of neutrino mixing angles in the Type III seesaw model with an discrete $A_4 \times Z_2$ symmetry, whose spontaneously breaking…

We propose that leptonic CP violation arises from a breaking of the mu-tau exchange symmetry in the neutrino mass matrix which in turn is indicated by the near maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing and the near zero \theta_{13}. We find that…
