We know $L_e-L_\mu-L_\tau$ symmetry gives $m^2_1= m^2_2 >> m^2_3$ pattern in Zee model. $\Delta m^2_\odot$ emerges from a small breaking of this symmetry. Because this symmetry is broken very weakly $\theta_\odot$ does not deviate much from…
In the present work we have investigated some patterns of broken ``scaling" ansatz of the neutrino mass matrix. The scaling neutrino mass matrix is disallowed by the current neutrino oscillation data as, among others, it predicts vanishing…
Assuming that neutrinos are Majorana particles, in a three generation framework, current and future neutrino oscillation experiments can determine six out of the nine parameters which fully describe the structure of the neutrino mass…
Minimal SO(10) grand unified models provide phenomenological predictions for neutrino mass patterns and mixing. These are the outcome of the interplay of several features, namely: i) the seesaw mechanism; ii) the presence of an intermediate…
We study the connection between absolute neutrino mass and neutrino mixing parameters within $SO(10)$-inspired leptogenesis. We show that current favoured values of the unknown neutrino mixing parameters point toward values of the absolute…
A candidate for the simple empirical neutrino mass formula is found, predicting the mass proportion m_1:m_2:m_3 = 0:4:24 and so, the mass ratio Delta m^2_{32}/Delta m^2_{21} = 35 not inconsistent with its experimental estimate. It involves…
We briefly outline the two popular approaches on radiative corrections to neutrino masses and mixing angles, and then carry out a detailed numerical analysis for a consistency check between them in MSSM. We find that the two approaches are…
Working in the framework of three chiral neutrinos with Majorana masses, we investigate a scenario first realized in an explicit model by Zee: that the neutrino mass matrix is strictly off-diagonal in the flavor basis, with all its diagonal…
We examine the constraints on the MNS lepton mixing matrix =66rom the present and future experimental data of the neutrino oscillation, tritium beta decay, and neutrinoless double beta decay for Majorana neutrinos. We show that the small…
We show how the neutrino mixing angles and oscillation phase can be predicted from tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing, corrected by charged lepton mixing angles which are related to quark mixing angles via quark-lepton unification. The…
We explore, mostly using data from solar neutrino experiments, the hypothesis that the neutrino mass eigenstates are unstable. We find that, by combining $^8$B solar neutrino data with those on $^7$Be and lower-energy solar neutrinos, one…
We investigate under which circumstances one can show the existence of leptonic CP violation with the help of a positive or negative signal in neutrinoless double beta decay. The possibilities of cancellations are investigated for special…
Neutrino oscillation scenarios involving large angle $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_e$ oscillations are disfavoured in the parameter range $\Delta m^2/eV^2 >~ 10^{-3}$ by recent results from the CHOOZ reactor-based $\bar{\nu}_e$ disappearance…
We present neutrino mass matrices which predict the atmospheric neutrino mixing to be almost maximal, $\sin^2 2\theta_{atm}>0.999$, as well as the large solar neutrino mixing, $8/9>\sin^2 2\theta_{sol}>0.87$, and the large CP violation (the…
In light of the recent solar and atmospheric neutrino data, we investigate the possibility of having an exactly degenerate spectrum for heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos at the grand unification scale. The analysis is performed in the…
The addition of $m$ singlet right-handed neutrinos to the Standard Model leads to radiatively generated mass corrections for the $SU(2)_L $ doublet neutrinos. For those neutrinos which are massless at the tree level after this addition,…
The eigenvalues and mixing angles in the Zee model are investigated parameter-independently. When we require |\Delta m^2_{12}/\Delta m^2_{23}| \ll 1 in order to understand the solar and atmospheric data simultaneously, the only solution is…
We demonstrate that under the "symmetric zero texture" with minimal Majorana mass matrix, neutrino masses and mixing angles are expressed in terms of up-quark masses, $m_t,m_c,m_u$. This provides interesting relations among neutrino mixing…

The case for small neutrino mass differences from atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillation experiments has become compelling, but leaves the overall neutrino mass scale m_nu undetermined. The most restrictive limit of m_nu < 0.8 eV arises…
