We investigate a simple model of neutrino mass based on SU(3)_C X SU(3)_L X U(1)_X gauge unification. The Yukawa coupling of the model has automatic lepton-number symmetry which is broken only by the self-couplings of the Higgs boson. At…
Unlike the standard model where neutrino masses can be made arbitrarily small, we find in the minimal left-right symmetric model that Dirac type Yukawa coupling $h_D \sim 10^{-4.2}$ for $\nu_\tau$ is generated from charged fermion Yukawa…
Efforts to unify group-theoretically the standard-model gauge interactions with the generation structure of fermions and their mirror partners should be accompanied with the unification of the corresponding gauge couplings. In this paper…
Nonzero masses for the active neutrinos - regardless of their nature or origin - arise only after electroweak symmetry breaking. We discuss the parameterization of neutrino couplings to a Higgs sector consisting of one SU(2)_L scalar…
The recent evidence for neutrino oscillations stimulate us to discuss again the problem of fermion masses and mixings in gauge theories. In the standard model, several forms for quark mass matrices are equivalent. They become ansatze within…
We show that under a new U(1) gauge symmetry, which is non-anomalous in the presence of one ``right-handed neutrino'' per generation and consistent with the standard model Yukawa couplings, the most general fermion charges are determined in…
We have analyzed the possibility that the universal Yukawa coupling (democratic mass matrix) with small violations of Dirac and Majorana neutrinos can induce the large mixing of neutrinos through the seesaw mechanism. The possibility can be…
We discuss conditions under which bi-large mixing in the lepton sector is achieved assuming that all Yukawa matrices and the right-handed neutrino mass matrix have the same singular form in the leading order. Due to obvious quark lepton…
The problem of neutrino masses and mixing angles is analysed in a class of supersymmetric grand unified models, with SO(10) gauge symmetry and global U(2) flavour symmetry. Adopting the seesaw mechanism for the generation of the neutrino…
We assume the universal Yukawa coupling (democratic mass matrix) with small violations for quarks, charged leptons and neutrinos masses. We could reproduce the mass hierarchy for quark masses and V_{CKM} matrix elements precisely. We adopt…
A neutrino mass model is suggested within an $SU(4)\times U(1)$ -- electroweak theory. The smallness of neutrino masses can be guaranteed by a seesaw mechanism realized through Yukawa couplings to a scalar $SU(4)$-decuplet. In this scheme…
Models involving a U(2) flavor symmetry, or any of a number of its non-Abelian discrete subgroups, can explain the observed hierarchy of charged fermion masses and CKM angles. It is known that a large neutrino mixing angle connecting second…
We consider an electroweak model based on the gauge symmetry SU(2)_L X U(1)_Y' X U(1)_B-L which has right-handed neutrinos with different exotic B-L quantum numbers. Because of this particular feature we are able to write Yukawa terms, and…
We present a scenario of neutrino masses and mixing angles. Each generation includes a sterile right handed neutrino in addition to the usual left handed one. We assume a hierarchy in their Dirac masses similar to, but much larger than the…
We show that maximal atmospheric and large solar neutrino mixing can be implemented in SU(5) gauge theories, by making use of the $U(1)_F$ symmetry associated with a suitably defined family number $F$, together with a $\mathbbm{Z}_2$…
In the framework of a left-right model containing mirror fermions with gauge group SU(3)$_{C} \otimes SU(2)_{L} \otimes SU(2)_{R} \otimes U(1)_{Y^\prime}$, we estimate the neutrino masses, which are found to be consistent with their…
We discuss models of neutrino masses that lead to a large mixing angle for atmospheric neutrino oscillations. In particular we study a mechanism where a simple texture for the Dirac matrix leads to the observed pattern of mixings for a…
We present a model for the observed hierarchies among the Yukawa couplings of the standard model in the context of an effective low energy theory with an anomalous U(1) symmetry. This symmetry, a generic feature of superstring…
We discussed neutrino masses and mixings in SUSY SO(10) model where quarks and leptons have Yukawa couplings to at least two 10 and one $\bar{126}$ Higgs scalars. In this model, the Dirac and the right-handed Majorana mass terms are…
The electroweak unification group $G\equiv SU(2)_L\times U(1)_e\times U(1)_\mu\times U(1)_\tau$ in which each fermion multiplet has its own $U(1)$ factor was proposed in 1986 to get the neutrino mass matrix. In this paper, the gauge group G…
