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…
The recently announced Super-Kamiokande data on atmospheric neutrino oscillation seems to require a maximal mixing between the $\nu_{\mu}$ and $\nu_{\tau}$ within the conventional three neutrino picture. It is then tempting to suggest as…
We show that in see-saw models with small or even vanishing lepton mixing angle $\theta_{12}$, maximal $\theta_{23}$, zero $\theta_{13}$ and zero CP phases at the GUT scale, the currently favored LMA solution of the solar neutrino problem…
We discuss neutrino masses in the framework of a minimal extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) consisting of an additional single right-handed neutrino superfield $N$ with a heavy Majorana mass $M$, which induces a…
If neutrinos are to play a relevant cosmological role, they must be essentially degenerate with a mass matrix of the bimaximal mixing type. We study this scenario in the MSSM framework, finding that if neutrino masses are produced by a…
The naturalness of maximal mixing between myon- and tau-neutrinos is investigated. A spontaneously broken nonabelian generation symmetry can explain a small parameter which governs the deviation from maximal mixing. In many cases all three…
We present simple and predictive scenarios for neutrino masses which lead to a bimaximal pattern of mixings that apparently provides the best fit to the current solar and atmospheric neutrino data. It is shown that an approximate global…
There are several indications that the Majorana masses of the right-handed neutrino components, $M_R,$ are at the intermediate scale: $M_R\sim (10^{10}-10^{12})$ GeV or even lighter. The renormalization effects due to large Yukawa couplings…
There are good reasons why neutrinos could be Majorana particles, but there exist also a number of very good reasons why neutrinos could have Dirac masses. The latter option deserves more attention and we derive therefore analytic…
We demonstrate a dynamical origin for the dimension-five seesaw operator in dimensional deconstruction models. Light neutrino masses arise from the seesaw scale which corresponds to the inverse lattice spacing. It is shown that the…
We propose a mechanism to generate the neutrino mixing matrix from supersymmetric threshold corrections. Flavor violating soft breaking terms induce flavor changing self-energies that give a finite renormalization to the mixing matrix. The…
We show that the assumption of type II seesaw mechanism for small neutrino masses coupled with $b-\tau$ mass unification in a minimal SUSY SO(10) model leads not only to a natural understanding of large atmospheric mixing angle…
We consider a minimal formulation of SO(10) Grand Unified Theory wherein all the fermion masses arise from Yukawa couplings involving one 126 and one 10 of Higgs multiplets. It has recently been recognized that such theories can explain,…
The see-saw mechanism for neutrino masses based on the Grand Unification leads to the mass of the heaviest neutrino ($\approx \nu_{\tau}$) in the range $(2 - 3)\cdot 10^{-3}$ eV and hence to a solution of the solar neutrino problem through…
The scale at which supersymmetry (SUSY) breaks ($m_{s}$) is still unknown. The present article, following a top-down approach, endeavors to study the effect of varying $m_s$ on the radiative stability of the observational parameters…
We present a simple observation for neutrino mixings and masses which arises naturally in dimensional deconstruction models. There are two essential ingredients of such models: (i) the presence of a symmetry mediated by the link fields…
In the minimal supersymmetric standard model, we have studied the evolution of the neutrino flavor mixing by using the renormalization group equation(RGE) with the Georgi-Jarlskog texture for the Yukawa coupling matrices.For the large…
We revisit the constraints on the properties of right handed neutrinos from the requirement to explain the observed light neutrino oscillation data in the type-I seesaw model. We use well-known relations to show that there is in general no…
Proposed symmetry relations, e.g., quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) or tribimaximal mixing (TBM), need to be imposed at a high scale $\wedge \sim 10^{12}$ GeV characterising the large masses of right-handed neutrinos required to implement…
$\mu\nu$SSM is an $R$-parity violating non-minimal supersymmetric model which uses right chiral neutrino superfields to solve the $\mu$-problem. The $R$-parity violation together with a TeV scale seesaw mechanism using right handed…
