We posit an elegant modular $A_4$ framework for Dirac neutrinos that does not rely on the seesaw mechanism in a non SUSY setting. Our construction ensures purely Dirac neutrinos with a minimal scalar sector, naturally generating neutrino…

We propose new lepton-mixing textures that may be enforced through well-defined symmetries in renormalizable models. Each of our textures has four sum rules for the neutrino mass observables. The models are based on the type-I seesaw…

We make an investigation of modular $\Gamma^{\prime}_5 \simeq A^{\prime}_5$ group in inverse seesaw framework. Modular symmetry is advantageous because it reduces the usage of extra scalar fields significantly. Moreover, the Yukawa…

In the framework of a minimal extension of the SM, where the only additional fields are three right-handed neutrinos, we suggest that the charged lepton, the Dirac neutrino and the right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrices are all, to…

In the framework of non-holomorphic modular invariance approach, we have systematically constructed all minimal lepton models based on the non-holomorphic $A^{\prime}_{5}$ modular symmetry from a bottom-up approach. In these models, the…

We consider an extension of the Standard Model with three right-handed (RH) neutrinos and a Dirac pair of extra sterile neutrinos, odd under a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry, in order to have left-right symmetry in the neutrino content and obtain…

Recent results from SuperKamiokande and SNO experiments have set severe constraints on possible mixings of a light sterile neutrino, \nu_s, with the three active species required for a simultaneous explanation of the solar, atmospheric and…

We show that a double seesaw framework for neutrino masses with $\mu-\tau$ exchange symmetry can lead to one of the righthanded seesaw partners of the light neutrinos being massless. This can play the role of a light sterile neutrino,…

The modular $A_4$ symmetry with three moduli is investigated. We assign different moduli to charged leptons, neutrinos, and quarks. We analyze these moduli at their fixed points where a residual symmetry exists. We consider two…

We propose a minimal extension of the Standard Model with right-handed neutrinos, governed by a non-holomorphic $A_{4}$ modular flavor symmetry. Within this model framework, the light neutrino masses are generated via the popular type-I…

We investigate a modular $A_4$ invariant two-loop neutrino mass model in a supersymmetric framework, where we introduce new fields as minimum as possible, expecting contributions of superpartners to the neutrino masses. We successfully…

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…

We consider the scenario in which neutrino data are explained by the interplay of type I and II seesaw terms in the Majorana neutrino mass matrix ${\cal M}_\nu = {\cal M}_L - {\cal M}_D {\cal M}_R^{-1} {\cal M}_D^T$. We construct a…

We discuss neutrino mass and mixing in the framework of the classic seesaw mechanism, involving right-handed neutrinos with large Majorana masses, which provides an appealing way to understand the smallness of neutrino masses. However, with…
