We suggest a simple model, based on the type-I seesaw mechanism, for the lepton mass matrices. The model hinges on an Abelian symmetry which leads to mass matrices with some vanishing matrix elements. The model predicts one massless…

We compute the effect of non diagonal neutrino mass in l_i -> l_j gamma in SUSY theories with non trivial Quark-Lepton complementarity and a flavor symmetry. The correlation matrix V_M=U_{CKM}U_{PMNS} is such that its (1,3) entry, as…
We propose a model based on the $SU(3)_{C}\otimes SU(3)_{L}\otimes U(1)_{X}$ gauge symmetry with an extra $S_{3}\otimes Z_{2}\otimes Z_{4}\otimes Z_{12}$ discrete group, which successfully accounts for the SM quark mass and mixing pattern.…
The specific violated mirror symmetry model is capable of generating the observed lepton weak mixing matrix with a structure similar to the observed one that almost lacks any visible regularities (the "flavor riddle"). The peculiarities of…
We construct a texture where the Seesaw matrix is diagonalized by the TriBiMaximal (TBM) matrix with a phase. All CKM and PMNS angles are within their pdg values, and the mass relations of quarks and charged leptons extrapolated to GUT…
The correct quark and charged lepton mass matrices along with a nearly correct CKM matrix may be naturally accommodated in a Pati-Salam model constructed from intersecting D6 branes on a $T^6/(\Z_2 \times \Z_2)$ orientifold. Furthermore,…
The mass matrices of quarks have a simple structure if expressed in powers of the small parameter \sigma=(m_c/m_t)^{1/2}. If there is a close relation between quarks and leptons, one would expect similar structures for the lepton matrices…
Considering the hypothesis of mixing of three active neutrinos with, at least, one sterile neutrino, we report on a simple $4\times 4$ texture whose $ 3 \times 3 $ part arises from the popular bimaximal texture for three active neutrinos $…
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…
We study quark and lepton mass matrices in the $A_4$ modular symmetry towards the unification of the quark and lepton flavors. We adopt modular forms of weights $2$ and $6$ for quarks and charged leptons, while we use modular forms of…
In pursuance of finding a viable set of mass matrices, keeping in mind recent precision measurement of quark masses and CKM parameters, we have carried out a detailed and comprehensive analysis of hermitian texture 4 zero quark mass…
We give a classification of heavy Majorana neutrino mass matrices with up to three texture zeroes, assuming the Dirac masses of the neutrinos to be of the same form as the ones of the up-quarks in the five texture zero solutions for the…
We analyze a model based on SUSY SO(10) combined with SU(2) family symmetry and symmetric mass matrices constructed by the authors recently. Previously, only the parameter space for the LOW and vacuum oscillation (VO) solutions was…
In this work we have investigated the phenomenological consequences of two-zero textures of \textit{inverse} neutrino mass matrix ($M_{\nu}^{-1}$) in light of the large mixing angle (LMA) and large mixing angle-\textit{dark} (LMA-D)…
We investigate 'Scaling ansatz' in the neutrino sector within the framework of type I seesaw mechanism with diagonal charged lepton and right handed Majorana neutrino mass matrices ($M_R$). We also assume four zero texture of Dirac neutrino…
The neutrino mixing matrix U is in general of the form U=U_e^+ U_nu, where U_e arises from the diagonalization of charged leptons and U_nu is from the neutrino sector. We discuss the possibility that U_nu is nearly diagonal (in the…
A Zee-type neutrino mass matrix model with a badly broken horizontal symmetry SU(3)_H is investigated. By putting a simple ansatz on the symmetry breaking effects of SU(3)_H for transition matrix elements, it is demonstrated that the model…
We have discussed the impact of $U_{e3}$ on the model of the neutrino mass matrix. In order to get the small $U_{e3}$, some flavor symmetry is required. Typical two models are investigated. The first one is the model in which the bi-maximal…
We study the symmetric 2-zero texture of the neutrino mass matrix, which is obtained from the symmetric Dirac neutrino mass matrix with 2-zeros and right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrix with the general form via the see-saw mechanism,…
