We construct a model which provides maximal mixing between a pseudo-Dirac $\nu_{\mu}/\nu_{\tau}$ pair, based on a local $U(1)_{L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}}$ symmetry. Its strengths, weaknesses and phenomenological consequences are examined. The mass…
The recently announced Super-Kamiokande data on atmospheric neutrino oscillation seems to require a maximal mixing between the $\nu_{\mu}$ and $\nu_{\tau}$ within the conventional three neutrino picture. It is then tempting to suggest as…
We discuss a neutrino mass matrix $\mathcal{M}_\nu$ originally found by Babu, Ma, and Valle (BMV) and show that this mass matrix can be characterized by a simple algebraic relation. From this relation it follows that atmospheric neutrino…
The nonzero and relatively large $\theta_{13}$ from the latest experimental results have a serious implication on the well-known neutrino mixing matrix. One of the well-known mixing matrix is tribimaximal (TBM) neutrino mixing matrix which…
Viability of the \mu-\tau interchange symmetry imposed as an approximate symmetry (1) on the neutrino mass matrix {\cal M}_{\nu f} in the flavour basis (2) simultaneously on the charged lepton mass matrix M_l and the neutrino mass matrix…
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. The most general case with all the free parameters of M_\nu being complex is…
$\mu-\tau$ reflection symmetry is an attractive flavour symmetry in lepton mixing, which accommodates maximal values of atmospheric mixing angle ($\theta_{23}=\pi/4$) and Dirac CP phase ($\delta=\pi/2/3\pi/2$). Another significance of this…
Current neutrino data are consistent with the so-called tribimaximal mixing scenario, which predicts \sin^2 \theta_{12}=1/3, zero U_{e3} and maximal \theta_{23}. This implies a special form of the neutrino mass matrix. Introducing small…
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 discuss a minimal predictive see-saw model in which the right-handed neutrino mainly responsible for the atmospheric neutrino mass has couplings to (nu_e, nu_mu, nu_tau) proportional to (0,1,1) and the right-handed neutrino mainly…
The recent Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) measurements of $\theta_{12}$ and $\Delta m^2_{21}$ open a new avenue for probing flavor symmetric structures in the lepton sector. Motivated by this, we study a model in which…
We study the phenomenological consequences of maximal and near-maximal mixing of the electron neutrino with other ($x$=tau and/or muon) neutrinos. We describe the deviations from maximal mixing in terms of a parameter…
An explicit form of charged--lepton mass matrix, predicting $ m_\tau = 1776.80 $~MeV from the experimental values of $ m_e $ and $ m_\mu$ (in good agreement with the experimental figure $ m_\tau = 1777.05^{+0.29}_{-0.26}$ MeV), is applied…
The naturalness of maximal mixing between myon- and tau-neutrinos is investigated. A spontaneously broken nonabelian generation symmetry can explain a small parameter which governs the deviation from maximal mixing. In many cases all three…
The $\mu$-$\tau$ reflection symmetry serves as a unique basis for understanding the observed neutrino mixing as it can lead us to the interesting results $\theta^{}_{23} = \pi/4$ and $\delta = -\pi/2$ which stand close to the current…
Implication of neutrino mass model based on $\Delta$(27) discrete flavor symmetry, on parameters of neutrino oscillations, CP violation and effective neutrino masses is studied using type-I seesaw mechanism. The Standard Model particle…
Possible maximal mixing seen in the oscillations of the atmospheric neutrinos has led to postulate of a $\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry which interchanges $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$. We argue that such symmetry need not be special to neutrinos but can…
It is a common believe that, if the Tri-bimaximal mixing (TBM) pattern is explained by vacuum alignment in an A(4) model, only a very small reactor angle, say \theta_{13} \sim \lambda^2_C being \lambda_C \equiv \theta_C the Cabibbo angle,…
The recent measurement of the third lepton mixing angle, \theta_{13}, has shown that, although small compared to \theta_{12} and \theta_{23}, it is much larger than anticipated in schemes that generate Tri-Bi-Maximal (TBM) or Golden Ratio…
Within the different patterns of the neutrino mixing matrix, the cobimaximal mixing remains a plausible possibility for understanding the flavor structure of neutrinos as it is consistent with current experimental data. Such a pattern is…
