We study neutrino masses and mixings based on the simplest SO(10) mass relations and the seesaw mechanism. We find that the requirement of large neutrino mixings determines the relative magnitude of the heavy Majorana neutrino masses in…
The experimental data on atmospheric and solar neutrinos are used to test the framework of non-anomalous Abelian horizontal gauge symmetries with only three light active neutrinos. We assume that the hierarchy in mass-squared splittings is…
We reconsider the possibility that Majorana masses for the three known neutrinos are generated radiatively by the presence of a fourth generation and one right-handed neutrino with Yukawa couplings and a Majorana mass term. We find that the…
Majorana CP violating phases coming from heavy right-handed Majorana mass matrices ($M_{RR}$) are considered to estimate the masses of neutrinos.The effects of phases on quasi-degenerate neutrinos mass matrix obeying $\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry…
This work proposes two models of neutrino masses that predict non-zero $\theta_{13}$ under the non-Abelian discrete flavor symmetry $\mathbb{S}_3\otimes\mathbb{Z}_2$. We advocate that the size of $\theta_{13}$ is understood as a group…
It is found that the seesaw mechanism not only explain the smallness of neutrino masses but also account for the large mixing angles simultaneously, even if the unification of the neutrino Dirac mass matrix with that of up-type quark sector…
Assuming that the neutrino mass matrix is dominated by a term with the permutation symmetry $S_{\scriptscriptstyle 3}$ it is possible to explain neutrino data only if the masses are quasi-degenerate. A sub-dominant term with an approximate…
Best-fit values of recent global analyzes of neutrino data imply large solar neutrino mixing, vanishing U_{e3} and a non-maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing angle theta_{23}. We show that these values emerge naturally by the hypothesis of…
In this talk, I have reviewed few recent models on neutrino masses and mixing. Particularly, I have emphasised on $A_4$ symmetric models.
In the context of the supersymmetric flipped $SU(5)\otimes U(1)$ GUT model, we have studied in detail the neutrino mass spectrum, obtaining an approximate formula for the corresponding effective three-generation mass matrix. It is found…
If the massive neutrinos are the Majorana particles, how to pin down the Majorana CP-violating phases will eventually become an unavoidable question relevant to the future neutrino experiments. We argue that a study of neutrino-antineutrino…
A new idea for neutrino mass was proposed recently, where its smallness is not due to the seesaw mechanism, i.e. not inversely proportional to some large mass scale. It comes from a one-loop mechanism with dark matter in the loop consisting…
Taking into account the latest neutrino oscillation data, we study texture zeros of the lepton mass matrices. Assuming the Dirac neutrino mass matrix M_D, the charged-lepton mass matrix M_l and the mass matrix of heavy right-handed Majorana…
The atmospheric neutrino oscillations and the vacuum oscillation solution of the solar neutrino problem can be consistently described by a doubly or triply degenerate neutrino spectrum as long as the high level of degeneracy required is not…
We consider the problem of neutrino masses and mixing within the general framework of standard (type-I) seesaw models leading to three light neutrinos. Under the assumption of a hierarchical neutrino mass spectrum \lambda^4: \lambda : 1,…
Neutrino masses remain a significant unsolved problem in physics and their nonzero value proves the Standard Model is incomplete. Currently, the values of the three masses only have upper limits from cosmology and experiments like KATRIN.…
Taking as input the best fit solar neutrino anomaly description, MSW LMA, and the tritium beta decay results we estimate the allowed range of neutrino masses independently of their nature. Adding the present bound on the effective neutrino…
A phenomenological neutrino mass matrix is proposed to explain the solar and atmospheric neutrino deficits and to present the neutrino as a candidate of hot dark matter in the $3\nu_L+3\nu_R$ framework. The realization of mixing angles…
We discuss which information on neutrino masses and mixing can be obtained from the results of all neutrino oscillation experiments in the cases of three and four massive neutrinos. We show that in the three-neutrino case the neutrino…
Current experimental data allow the zero value for one neutrino mass, either m_1 = 0 or m_3 = 0. This observation implies that a realistic neutrino mass texture can be established by starting from the limit (a) m_1 = m_2 = 0 and m_3 \neq 0…
