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…

In a previous paper we analyzed fermion masses (focusing on neutrino masses and mixing angles) in an SO(10) SUSY GUT with U(2)$\timesU(1)^n$ family symmetry. The model is "natural" containing all operators in the Lagrangian consistent with…

A generalization of the well-known Georgi-Jarlskog relation m_{\mu}/m_{\tau} = 3 (m_s/m_b) to neutrinos is found in the context of SO(10). This new relation is m_{\nu_\mu}/m_{\nu_\tau} = 16 (m_c/m_t), which is consistent with present data,…
