We show that the four-zero texture of Hermitian quark mass matrices can survive current experimental tests: it is able to yield sufficiently large predictions for the flavor mixing parameter $|V_{ub}/V_{cb}|$ and the CP-violating parameter…
A way of counting free parameters in the quark mass matrices of the standard model, including the constraints coming from weak basis transformations, is presented; this allow to understand the exact physical meaning of the parallel and…
We endeavor to constrain the neutrino mass matrix on the phenomenological ground and procure model-independent textures by emphasizing on the simple linear relationships among the mass matrix elements. These simple textures predict the two…
We show that it is possible to fully determine the neutrino mass spectrum from two-zero textures of the neutrino mass matrix. As a consequence, definite predictions can be obtained for the neutrinoless double beta decay.
We propose a neutrino mass matrix texture bearing a suitable correlation $m_{22}=-2\,m_{13}$ and study its phenomenological implications. In light of both normal and inverted hierarchies, the texture imposes specific bounds on some…
We perform a systematic analysis of all possible texture zeros in general and symmetric quark mass matrices. Using the values of masses and mixing parameters at the electroweak scale, we identify for both cases the maximally restrictive…
In the Standard Model, we obtain a non-Fritzsch like configuration with five texture zeros for the quark mass matrices. This matrix generates the quark masses, the inner angles of the CKM unitary triangle, and the CP-violating phase in the…
We study the phenomenological implications of the recent neutrino data for class B of two texture zeros and two vanishing cofactors for Majorana neutrinos in the flavor basis. We find that classes $B_{1}$($B_2$) of two texture zeros and…
Following the Occam's razor principle, we explore the particular textures (featuring texture zeros and equalities) of the Dirac neutrino mass matrix in the minimal seesaw model (where only two right-handed neutrinos $N^{}_1$ and $N^{}_2$…
The present experimental data on neutrino oscillations, neutrinoless double beta decay and tritium beta decay are collected together and possible mass ranges for Dirac and Majorana neutrinos are found. Four future experimental situations…
We study the see-saw realization of seven textures of the neutrino mass matrix, which were presented by Frampton, Glashow and Marfatia. Two of them B_1 and B_2 are not realized in the see-saw mechanism without fine-tuning of parameters. We…
We discuss the viability of the $\mu$--$\tau$ interchange symmetry imposed on the neutrino mass matrix in the flavor space. Whereas the exact symmetry is shown to lead to textures of completely degenerate spectrum which is incompatible with…

The recent results of the Planck experiment put a stringent constraint on the sum of the light neutrino masses, m1+m2+m3 < 0.23 eV (95 % CL). On the other hand, two-zero Majorana mass matrix textures predict strong correlations among the…
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…
