We investigate the possibility that the large mixing of neutrinos is induced by their large coupling to a five-dimensional bulk neutrino. In the strong coupling limit the model is exactly soluble. It gives rise to an oscillation amplitude…
Phenomena of neutrino oscillations are discussed on the basis of two-loop radiative neutrino mechanism. Neutrino mixings are experimentally suggested to be maximal in both atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations. By using $L_e - L_\mu -…
