The seesaw mechanism of neutrino mass generation is analysed under the following assumptions: (1) minimal seesaw with no Higgs triplets, (2) hierarchical Dirac masses of neutrinos, (3) large lepton mixing primarily or solely due to the…
We consider the seesaw mechanism of neutrino mass generation in the light of our present knowledge of the neutrino masses and mixing. We analyse the seesaw mechanism constrained by the following assumptions: (1) minimal seesaw with no Higgs…
Experiments on neutrino oscillations have uncovered several small parameters, $\theta_{13}$ being a prominent one. Others are the solar mass splitting {\em vis-\`{a}-vis} the atmospheric one and the deviation of $\theta_{23}$ from maximal…
This is a review article about neutrino mass models, particularly see-saw models involving three active neutrinos which are capable of describing both the atmospheric neutrino oscillation data, and the large mixing angle MSW solar solution,…
I review promising approaches to neutrino mass models, focussing on three neutrino patterns of neutrino masses and mixing angles, and the corresponding Majorana mass matrices. I discuss the see-saw mechanism, and show how it may be applied…
Neutrino masses arise via a seesaw mechanism and its mass hierarchy, with assumption that heavy Majorana neutrino mass matrix subject to $\mu-\tau$ symmetry and invariant under a cyclic permutation, are evaluated. Within this scenario, the…
The atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillation data suggest hierarchical neutrino masses with at least one large mixing. The simplest see-saw models for reconciling the two features are U(1) extensions of the SM with flavour dependent gauge…
In this talk we assume the conventional see-saw mechanism, and contruct a hierarchical pattern of three active neutrinos with bi-maximal mixing. In order to enforce the hierarchy we use the single right handed neutrino dominance mechanism…
We present an analysis of normal and inverted hierarchical neutrino mass models within the framework of tri-bi-maximal (TBM) mixing. Considering the neutrinos to be quasi-degenerate (QDN), we study two different neutrino mass models with…
We develop a see-saw model for neutrino masses and mixing with an S3\times Z3 symmetry. It involves an interplay of Type-I and Type-II see-saw contributions of which the former is subdominant. The S3 \times Z3 quantum numbers of the fermion…
We reconsider the possibility that the masses of the three light neutrinos of the Standard Model might be almost degenerate and close to the present upper limits from Tritium beta decay and cosmology. In such a scenario, the cancellations…
Motivated by recent results from neutrino experiments, we study the neutrino masses and mixing in the framework of a SUSY $SU(5)\times \mathbb{A}_{4} $ model. The hybrid of Type I and Type II seesaw mechanisms leads to the nonzero value of…
We consider theories where the Standard Model (SM) neutrinos acquire masses through the seesaw mechanism at the weak scale. We show that in such a scenario, the requirement that any pre-existing baryon asymmetry, regardless of its origin,…
We propose a simple but suggestive seesaw model with two phenomenological conjectures: three heavy (right-handed) Majorana neutrinos are degenerate in mass in the symmetry limit and three light Majorana neutrinos have the tri-bimaximal…
Recent SNO results strongly favour the large mixing angle (LMA) MSW solar solution. We argue that there are only two technically natural low energy neutrino mass matrix structures consistent with the LMA MSW solution, corresponding to…
In this talk we show how a natural neutrino mass hierarchy can follow from the type I see-saw mechanism, and a natural neutrino mass degeneracy from the type II see-saw mechanism, where the bi-large mixing angles can arise from either the…
We consider a Majorana neutrino mass matrix $\mathcal{M}_\nu$ with $(\mathcal{M}_\nu)_{\mu\mu} = (\mathcal{M}_\nu)_{\tau\tau} = 0$, in the basis where the charged-lepton mass matrix is diagonal. We show that this pattern for the lepton mass…
Best-fit values of recent global analyzes of neutrino data imply large solar neutrino mixing, vanishing U_{e3} and a non-maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing angle theta_{23}. We show that these values emerge naturally by the hypothesis of…
Recently, several reactor oscillation experiments have successively measured a nonzero value for the neutrino mixing angle ${\theta_{13}}$, which is greater than 5 standard deviations. Within framework of the $\mu$ from $\nu$ Supersymmetric…
We present an $A4$-based model where neutrino masses arise from a combination of see-saw mechanisms. The model is motivated by several small mixing and mass parameters indicated by the data. These are $\theta_{13}$, the solar mass…
