We studied the phenomenological implications of texture zeros in the neutrino mass matrix of the minimal left-right symmetric model (LRSM). Since the possibility of maximum zeros reduces the maximum number of free parameters of the model…
A unified form of mass matrix proposed previously for all fundamental fermions is extended to include the sterile neutrino $\nu_s$, presumed to mix mainly with $\nu_e$, while $\nu_\tau$ mixes strongly with $\nu_\mu$ (and both $\nu_\mu$ and…
In this paper, we attempt to implement the neutrino $\mu$-$\tau$ reflection symmetry (which predicts $\theta^{}_{23} = \pi/4$ and $\delta = \pm \pi/2$ as well as trivial Majorana phases) in the minimal seesaw (which enables us to fix the…
It is pointed out that if a neutrino mass matrix for right-handed neutrinos in seesaw mechanism has mu -tau symmetry and total lepton number L_{e}+L_{\mu }+L_{\tau} remains constant (not zero), exact tribimaximal neutrino mixing in this…
We study the structure of the neutrino mass matrix in the minimal gauged U(1)$_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ model, where three right-handed neutrinos are added to the Standard Model in order to obtain non-zero masses for active neutrinos. Because of the…
The effects of CP-phases on the three absolute quasi-degenerate Majorana neutrino (QDN) masses are stud-ied with neutrino mass matrices obeying {\mu} - {\tau} symmetry for normal as well as inverted hierarchical mass patterns. We have made…
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…
In this paper we have studied the realizations of the popular TM1 neutrino mixing and neutrino $\mu$-$\tau$ reflection symmetry (which are well motivated from the neutrino oscillation data and lead to interesting phenomenological…
Right handed neutrinos with mass of ${\cal O} \; (10^{12}-10^{13})$ GeV are required to implement the see-saw mechanism and generate neutrino masses capable of playing a role in structure formation. Moreover models of fermion masses often…
In the framework of the two right-handed neutrino seesaw model, we consider maximally-restrictive texture-zero patterns for the lepton Yukawa coupling and mass matrices, together with the existence of a remnant CP symmetry. Under these…
We discuss neutrino sector in models with two Higgs doublet and one singlet scalar fields under local $U(1)_{L_\alpha- L_\beta}$ symmetry. A neutrino mass matrix is formulated for these models where the matrix is generated via type-I seesaw…
Texture zeros in fermion mass matrices have been widely considered in tackling the Standard Model flavour puzzle. In this work, we perform a systematic analysis of texture zeros in lepton mass matrices in the framework of $\Gamma_{3}'\cong…
I suggest a model based on a softly broken symmetry L_e - L_mu - L_tau and on Babu's mechanism for two-loops radiative generation of the neutrino masses. The model predicts that one of the physical neutrinos (nu_3) is massless and that its…
We derive the most minimal see-saw texture from an extra-dimensional dynamics. It predicts theta_13 = 0.078 \pm 0.015 and m_ee = 2.6 \pm 0.4 meV. Assuming thermal leptogenesis, the sign of the CP-phase measurable in neutrino oscillations,…
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…
We consider phenomenologically allowed structures of the neutrino mass matrix in the case of three light neutrino species. Constraints from the solar, atmospheric and reactor neutrino experiments as well as those from the neutrinoless…
The bimaximal (BM) neutrino mixing matrix was formulated in order to accommodate the data of the experimental results which indicate that both solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation in vacuum are near maximal. But, after the T2K and…
We present neutrino mass matrix textures in a minimal framework of the type-I seesaw mechanism where two right-handed Majorana neutrinos are introduced in order to reproduce experimental results of neutrino oscillations. The textures can…
We diagonalize Majorana neutrino mass matrix with the help of PMNS matrix and obtain analytical relations between the mass matrix elements and mixing parameters, viz., three mixing angles- $\theta_{12}, \theta_{23}, \theta_{13}$ and Dirac…
We consider a $\mu-\tau$ symmetry in neutrino sectors realized at GUT scale in the context of a seesaw model. In our scenario, the exact $\mu-\tau$ symmetry realized in the basis where the charged lepton and heavy Majorana neutrino mass…
