A generalized inverse seesaw model, in which the 9x9 neutrino mass matrix has vanishing (1,1) and (1,3) submatrices, is proposed. This is similar to the universal two-zero texture which gives vanishing (1,1) and (1,3) elements of the 3x3…
In order to accommodate nonzero and relatively large of mixing angle $\theta_{13}$, we modified the tribimaximal mixing(TBM) matrix by introducing a simple perturbation matrix to perturb TBM matrix. The modified TBM can reproduce nonzero…
Working in the framework of three chiral neutrinos with Majorana masses, we investigate a scenario where the neutrino mass matrix is strictly off-diagonal in the flavor basis, with all its diagonal entries precisely zero.
In the framework of the seesaw mechanism, and adopting a typical form for the Dirac neutrino mass matrix, we discuss the impact of minimal forms of the Majorana neutrino mass matrix. These matrices contain four or three texture zeros and…
