We show that a universal texture zero in the (1,1) position of all fermionic mass matrices, including heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos driving a type-I see-saw mechanism, can lead to a viable spectrum of mass, mixing and CP violation…

We propose and study a common hierarchical mass texture for both charged lepton and neutrino sectors. The texture gives rise to a large $\nu_\mu\leftrightarrow\nu_\tau$ mixing. Also it leads to the small angle MSW effect solution for solar…
