We consider phenomenologically allowed structures of the neutrino mass matrix in the case of three light neutrino species. Constraints from the solar, atmospheric and reactor neutrino experiments as well as those from the neutrinoless…
We study the possible structure of the neutrino mass matrix taking into consideration the solar and atmospheric neutrinos and the neutrinoless double beta decay. We emphasize on mass matrices with vanishing elements. There are only a very…
There are three observables related to neutrino mass, namely the kinematic mass in direct searches, the effective mass in neutrino-less double beta decay, and the sum of neutrino masses in cosmology. In the limit of exactly degenerate…
I review the status of neutrino physics post-Neutrino~98, including the implications of solar and atmospheric neutrino data, which strongly indicate nonzero neutrino masses. LSND and the possible role of neutrinos as hot dark matter (HDM)…
We investigate the texture structures of lepton mass matrices with four (five) non-zero elements in the charged lepton mass matrix and three (four) vanishing cofactors in the neutrino mass matrix. Using weak basis transformations, all…
A neutrino mass-mixing scheme which explains qualitatively all present evidence for neutrino mass (the solar and atmospheric neutrino deficits, LSND, and hot dark matter), and also makes possible heavy-element nucleosynthesis by supernovae,…
An explicit model of neutrino texture is presented, where in the 6 times 6 mass matrix the Majorana lefthanded component is zero, the Majorana righthanded component - diagonal with equal entries, and the Dirac component gets a hierarchical…
We systematically analyze the Dirac and the Majorana mass matrices in seesaw models with two heavy right-handed neutrinos. We perform thorough classification of the vanishing matrix elements which are compatible with the results from the…
Status of determination of the neutrino masses and mixing is formulated and possible uncertainties, especially due to presence of the sterile neutrinos, are discussed. The data hint an existence of special ``neutrino'' symmetries. If not…
In an economical system with only two heavy right handed neutrinos, we postulate a new texture for $3 \times 2$ Dirac mass matrix $m_D$. This model implies one massless light neutrino and thus displays only two patterns of mass spectrum for…
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…
Under the assumption that the density variation of the electrons can be approximated by an exponential function, the solar Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein effect is treated for three generations of neutrinos. The generalized hypergeometric…
The Daya Bay and RENO reactor neutrino experiments have revealed that the smallest neutrino mixing angle is in fact relatively large, i.e., theta_13 ~ 9 degrees. Motivated by this exciting progress, we perform a systematic study of the…
We investigate a relation among neutrino observables, three mixing angles and two mass squared differences, from a cascade texture of neutrino mass matrix. We show an allowed region of the correlation by use of current data of neutrino…
It is well-known that, in the basis where the charged-lepton mass matrix is diagonal, there are seven cases of two texture zeros in Majorana neutrino mass matrices that are compatible with all experimental data. We show that two of these…
A $Z_{2L}\times Z_{2R}$ generation symmetry in the neutrino sector predicts the atmospheric neutrino mixing to be maximal, and the MNS matrix element $U_{e3}$ to be zero, consistent with observations. Solar neutrino mixing may be maximal…
We examine the potential for a ``natural'' three-neutrino mixing scheme to satisfy available data and astrophysical arguments. By ``natural'' we mean no sterile neutrinos, and a neutrino mass hierarchy similar to that of the charged…
We study predictive textures for the lepton mass matrices in which the charged-lepton mass matrix has either four or five zero matrix elements while the neutrino Majorana mass matrix has, respectively, either four or three zero matrix…
We propose simple phenomenological lepton mass matrices which describe the three neutrinos almost degenerate in mass, leading to a very large mixing angle between $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$, as consistent with a recent report on atmospheric…
In a model with four neutrino mass eigenstates grouping in two narrow doublets the condition of maximal mixing of the doublet neutrino components leads to a simple four-neutrino mixing matrix which is related to two connected effective…
