As is well known, the smallest neutrino mass turns out to be vanishing in the minimal seesaw model, since the effective neutrino mass matrix $M^{}_\nu$ is of rank two due to the fact that only two heavy right-handed neutrinos are…
We study a model of neutrino within the framework of the minimal extended seesaw (MES), which plays an important role in active and sterile neutrino phenomenology in (3+1) scheme. The $A_4$ flavor symmetry is augmented by an additional…
The type-I seesaw Lagrangian yields a non-generic set of active-sterile oscillation parameters - the neutrino mass eigenvalues and the physical elements of the full mixing matrix are entwined. For this reason one is able to, in principle,…
We propose a simple model of the neutrino mass matrix which can explain the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems in a 3($\nu_L + \nu_R$) framework. Assuming that only two right-handed neutrinos are heavy and a Dirac mass matrix has a…
Recent SNO results strongly favour the large mixing angle (LMA) MSW solar solution. We argue that there are only two technically natural low energy neutrino mass matrix structures consistent with the LMA MSW solution, corresponding to…
We present a comprehensive analysis of neutrino mass and lepton mixing in theories with $A_4$ modular symmetry, where the only flavon field is the single modulus field $\tau$, and all masses and Yukawa couplings are modular forms. Similar…

We give a pedagogical introduction to right-handed neutrinos as a simple extension to the Standard Model (SM), focussing on seesaw models and their possible experimental signatures. We preface this with a review of the lepton sector of the…
We propose a $B-L$ model combined with the $S_4\times Z_3\times Z_4$ discrete symmetry which successfully explains the recent $3+1$ sterile - active neutrino data. The smallness of neutrino mass is obtained through the type-I seesaw…
We show how a minimal (littlest) seesaw model involving two right-handed neutrinos and a very constrained Dirac mass matrix, with one texture zero and two independent Dirac masses, may arise from $S_4\times U(1)$ symmetry in a semi-direct…
We propose two new simple lepton flavor models in the framework of the $S_4$ flavor symmetry. The neutrino mass matrices, which are given by two complex parameters, lead to the inverted mass hierarchy. The charged lepton mass matrix has the…
In left-right symmetric models (LRSM) the light neutrino masses arise from two sources: the seesaw mechanism and a VEV of an SU(2)$_L$ triplet. If the left-right symmetry breaking, $v_R$, is low, $v_R\lsim15\TeV$, the contributions to the…
We present a review of neutrino phenomenology in the minimal seesaw model (MSM), an economical and intriguing extension of the Standard Model with only two heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos. Given current neutrino oscillation data, the…
We propose the inverse seesaw mechanism as a way to understand small Majorana masses for neutrinos in warped extra dimension models with seesaw scale in the TeV range. The ultra-small lepton number violation needed in implementing inverse…
In the work presented here, we have studied the impact of right handed neutrinos, which are introduced to account for the evidence of neutrino masses, on charged lepton flavour violating observables. In particular, we have focused on the…
The triplet or type-II seesaw mechanism is the simplest way to endow neutrinos with mass in the Standard Model (SM). Here we review its associated theory and phenomenology, including restrictions from $S$, $T$, $U$ parameters, neutrino…
We examine the parameter space region of the inverse seesaw model that is consistent with neutrino oscillation data. We focus on the correlation between the current limits from the search of the $\mu\to e\gamma$ lepton flavor violating…
We discuss how seesaw neutrino models can be graphically represented in lepton flavour space. We examine various popular models and show how this representation helps understanding their properties and connection with experimental data…
Seesaw mechanisms are the simplest and the most elegant way of generating small masses for the active neutrinos $(m_\nu)$. In these mechanisms $m_\nu$ is inversely proportional to the lepton number breaking scale $(M)$ that, in the…
A class of models with inverse seesaw mechanism is considered for arbitrary numbers p and q of new neutral fermions for each generation of leptons. The models containing a candidate particle for the role of warm dark matter are sorted using…
