Neutrino mass matrix via a seesaw mechanism is constructed by assuming that the underlying symmetry of both heavy Majorana and Dirac mass matrices is the discrete subgroup $\Delta(27)$ symmetry of SU(3). Using the experimental data of…
One puzzle of neutrino masses and mixings is that they do not exhibit the kind of strong "hierarchy" that is found for the quarks and charged leptons. Neutrino mass ratios and mixing angles are not small. A possible reason for this is…
We discuss the special class of models where nearly maximal neutrino mixing is produced through the see-saw mechanism, starting from only nearly diagonal matrices for charged leptons, Dirac neutrinos and Majorana right-handed neutrinos.
In the framework of the seesaw mechanism, and adopting a typical form for the Dirac neutrino mass matrix, we discuss the impact of minimal forms of the Majorana neutrino mass matrix. These matrices contain four or three texture zeros and…

Models of neutrino masses are discussed capable of explaining in a natural way the maximal mixing between $\nu_{\mu}$ and $\nu_{\tau}$ observed by the Super-Kamiokande collaboration. For three generations of leptons two classes of such…
We consider a neutrino mass model where all leptonic mixing is induced by a heavy Majorana sector through the seesaw type I mechanism, while the Dirac mass matrices are diagonal. Such a pattern occurs naturally in grand unified theories.…
We propose an extension of the supersymmetric standard model with right-handed neutrinos and a singlet Higgs field, and study the neutrino masses in this model. The Majorana masses for the right-handed neutrinos are generated around the…
We propose a model for neutrino masses that simultaneously results in a new dark matter candidate, the right-handed neutrino. We derive the dark matter abundance in this model, show how the hierarchy of neutrino masses is obtained, and…
We consider an existing framework of models where the neutrino Dirac and Majorana mass terms are related, and clarify how the mass structures interact through the type I seesaw mechanism, producing exact tri-bi-maximal mixing for the…
We analyze the structure of quark and lepton mass matrices under the hypothesis that they are determined from a minimum principle applied to a generic potential invariant under the $\left[SU(3)\right]^5\otimes \mathcal O(3)$ flavor…
The see-saw mechanism is usually applied to explain the lightness of neutrinos. The traditional see-saw mechanism introduces at least two right-handed neutrinos for the realistic neutrino spectrum. In the case of supersymmetry, loop…
We consider phenomenologically allowed structures of the neutrino mass matrix in the case of three light neutrino species. Constraints from the solar, atmospheric and reactor neutrino experiments as well as those from the neutrinoless…
Experiments on neutrino oscillations have uncovered several small parameters, $\theta_{13}$ being a prominent one. Others are the solar mass splitting {\em vis-\`{a}-vis} the atmospheric one and the deviation of $\theta_{23}$ from maximal…
We present a mathematical framework for constructing the most general neutrino mass matrices that yield the observed spectrum of light active neutrino masses in conjunction with arbitrarily many heavy sterile neutrinos, without the need to…
A universal seesaw mass matrix model, which gives successful description of quark mass matrix in terms of lepton masses, yields three "sterile" neutrinos \nu^s_{i}, which compose pseudo-Dirac neutrinos \nu_{i\pm}^{ps}\simeq (\nu_{i} \pm…
We propose a simple texture for the right-handed Majorana mass matrix to give a large $\nu_\mu-\nu_\tau$ mixing angle and hierarchical left-handed neutrino mass pattern. Consistently with the Dirac mass texture of the quark sector realizing…
