Absolute values of the neutrino mass are not known still now although their upper bounds are constrained through several experiments and observations. Recent analyses of cosmological observations present severe constraint on the sum of…
Oscillation experiments show that neutrinos have masses. They however only determine the neutrinop mass differences. Information on the absolute masses can be obtained by studying the kinematics in weak decays, or by searching for…

Recently announced results from the KATRIN collaboration imply an upper bound on the effective electron anti-neutrino mass $m_{\nu_{e}}$, $m_{\nu_{e}}< 0.8~{\rm eV}/c^{2}$. Here we explore the implications of combining the KATRIN upper…
Determining the absolute masses of neutrinos is of fundamental importance in particle physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics. We conjecture that intrinsic mass relations exist between leptons and quarks. Using these relations and…

A scheme of neutrino mass generation is proposed by [arXiv:2003.12069], in which the small nonzero neutrino masses come from nonzero vacuum expectation value (VEV) of the charged Higgs field in the Higgs doublet in the Standard Model of…
Data on solar and atmospheric neutrinos provide evidence for neutrino masses and mixings. We review some basic neutrino properties, the status of neutrino oscillations and implications for grand unified theories, including leptogenesis.

We study the role that the future detection of the neutrino burst from a galactic supernova can play in the reconstruction of the neutrino mass spectrum. We consider all possible 3$\nu$ mass and flavor spectra which describe the solar and…
A very simple empirical neutrino mass formula is found, implying the mass proportion $m_1 : m_2 : m_3 = 1 : 4 : 24(1-\beta^2)$. For the value $\beta = (5-1)(5-3)/5^2 = 8/25$ the formula predicts precisely $\Delta m^2_{21} \sim 8.0\times…
Positive evidence for neutrino oscillations is mounting from the solar and atmospheric neutrino anomalies and the LSND experiment. Accordingly, the neutrino mass differences appear to lie in the sub-eV range and at least some of the mixing…

Solar, atmospheric, and reactor neutrino experiments have confirmed neutrino oscillations, implying that neutrinos have non-zero mass, but without pinning down their absolute masses. While it is established that the effect of neutrinos on…
Neutrino physics is going through a revolutionary progress. In this talk I review what we have learned and why neutrino mass is so important. Neutrino masses and mixings are already shedding new insight into the origin of flavor. Given the…
