Two new neutrino mass matrix textures exhibiting the \emph{mixed $\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry} are proposed. The mass matrices hint for a promising neutrino mixing schemes and find their connections with $\Delta(27)$ and $A_{4}$ discrete symmetry…

A special form of the $3 \times 3$ Majorana neutrino mass matrix derivable from $\mu - \tau$ interchange symmetry accompanied by a generalized $CP$ transformation was obtained many years ago. It predicts $\theta_{23} = \pi/4$ as well as…

We determine the possible values of the effective Majorana neutrino mass $|< m > |= |\sum_j U_{ej}^2 m_j|$ in the different phenomenologically viable three and four-neutrino scenarios. The quantities $U_{\alpha j}$ ($\alpha =…
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 $N^{}_2$…
We investigate the properties of neutrino mass matrices that incorporate texture zeros and generalized CP symmetries associated with tribimaximal mixing. By combining these approaches, we derive predictive neutrino mass matrices and explore…
We investigate the prospects for scenarios with vanishing determinant neutrino mass matrices and vanishing $\theta_{13}$ mixing angle. Normal and inverse mass hierarchies are considered separately. For normal hierarchy it is found that…
We adopt a bottom-up approach to reconstruct the possible neutrino mass matrix patterns, in the hypothesis that $\lambda = \sin \theta_C$, where $\theta_C$ is the Cabibbo angle, is a useful expansion parameter in the neutrino sector as it…
We look for predictive flavour patterns of the effective Majorana neutrino mass matrix that are compatible with current neutrino oscillation data. Our search is based on the assumption that the neutrino mass matrix contains equal elements…
We give a general analysis of neutrino mixing in the seesaw mechanism with three flavors. Assuming that the Dirac and u-quark mass matrices are similar, we establish simple relations between the neutrino parameters and individual Majorana…
Neutrino mass matrix via a seesaw mechanism is constructed by assuming that the underlying symmetry of both heavy Majorana and Dirac mass matrices is the discrete subgroup $\Delta(27)$ symmetry of SU(3). Using the experimental data of…
In 2004, two of us proposed a texture, the "Simplest" neutrino mass matrix, which predicted sin(theta13)=sqrt((2 Solar-Delta m^2)/(3 Atm-Delta m^2)) and delta_CP=90 degrees. Using today's measured values for neutrino mass-squared…
