Assuming that a horizontal abelian (gauge) symmetry is at the origin of texture zeros in the fermion mass matrices we show how realistic mass patterns can be generated stepwise with a small number of effective operators from GUT's and…

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 show that the neutrino mass matrix with the minimal texture leads to the neutrino mass and mixing that are empirically determined, including $\theta_{13}$ that is measured recently at a high precision. This mass matrix, where the…

A unified form of mass matrix proposed previously for all fundamental fermions is extended to include the sterile neutrino $\nu_s$, presumed to mix mainly with $\nu_e$, while $\nu_\tau$ mixes strongly with $\nu_\mu$ (and both $\nu_\mu$ and…

We study the existence of one/two texture zeros or one/two vanishing minors in the neutrino mass matrix with $\mu\tau$ symmetry. In the basis where the charged lepton mass matrix and the Dirac neutrino mass matrix are diagonal, the one/two…

We investigate the prospects for neutrinoless double beta decay, texture zeros and equalities between neutrino mass matrix elements in scenarios with vanishing determinant mass matrices for vanishing and finite $\theta_{13}$ mixing angle in…

In view of the latest T2K and MINOS neutrino oscillation data which hint at a relatively large theta_13, we perform a systematic study of the Majorana neutrino mass matrix M_nu with two independent texture zeros. We show that three neutrino…

We study neutrino mass matrices with one texture equality and the neutrino mixing matrix having either its first (TM$_1$) or second (TM$_2$) column identical to that of the tribimaximal mixing matrix. We found that out of total fifteen…

We propose a simple texture of the neutrino mass matrix with one sterile neutrino along with the three standard ones. It gives maximal mixing angles for $\nu_e \to \nu_S$ and $\nu_\mu \to \nu_\tau$ oscillations or vice versa. Thus with only…

Neutrino is a good probe of extra dimensions. Large mixing and the apparent lack of very complicated oscillation patterns may be an indication of large couplings between the brane and a single bulk neutrino. A simple and realistic…

A new explicit model of neutrino texture is presented, where in the overall 6x6 mass matrix the lefthanded and righthanded Majorana 3x3 components are diagonal with equal entries of opposite sign, while the Dirac 3x3 component is given as a…

A new type of neutrino mixing named bi-pair neutrino mixing is proposed to describe the current neutrino mixing pattern with a vanishing reactor mixing angle and is determined by a mixing matrix with two pairs of identical magnitudes of…

We present analyses of the sixty hybrid textures of neutrino mass matrix, which have an equality of matrix elements and one zero. These textures are possibly derived in the models with discrete flavor symmetry. Only six textures among sixty…

We suggest mass matrices for neutrinos and charged leptons that can explain solar and atmospheric neutrino data. The resulting flavor mixing matrix $V_{\nu}$ has a property that $(V_{\nu})_{13}=0$, thus making $\nu_e \leftrightarrow…

In this paper, we carry out a numerical and systematic analysis of the neutrino mass textures, which contain one vanishing minor and an equality between two cofactors. Among 60 logically possible textures, only eight of them are excluded…

The solar and baseline neutrino oscillation data suggest bimaximal neutrino mixing among the first two generations, and trimaximal mixing between all three neutrino flavors. It has been conjectured that this indicates the existence of an…

Observations of atmospheric neutrinos offer compelling evidence that neutrinos have mass and do oscillate. Preliminary data are compatible with maximal $\nu_\mu$--$\nu_\tau$ mixing, but not with pure $\nu_\mu$--$\nu_e$ mixing. In a general…

We study the range of the elements of the neutrino mass matrix m_nu in the charged lepton basis. Neutrino-less double beta decay is sensitive to the ee element of m_nu. We then analyze the phenomenological implications of single texture…

The atmospheric neutrino data imply large mixing between the $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$ states, $\theta_{23} = (45\pm 12)^\circ$, while the MSW solution to the solar neutrino problem needs very small mixing angle $\theta_{12} = (2\pm…

We have embedded the texture of the neutrino mass matrix with three families into the MaVaNs scenario. We take the power-law potential of the acceleron field and a typical texture of active neutrinos, which is derived by the D_4 symmetry…
