We perform a phenomenological analysis of neutrino oscillation in a four generation framework introducing an additional sterile neutrino. In such a scenario, more than one pattern is possible that can accommodate three hieararchically…
In this talk we discuss a natural explanation of both neutrino mass hierarchies {\it and} large neutrino mixing angles, as required by the atmospheric neutrino data, in terms of a single right-handed neutrino giving the dominant…
We find that the presence of a global $L_e-L_\mu-L_\tau$ ($\equiv L^\prime$) symmetry and an $S_2$ permutation symmetry for the $\mu$- and $\tau$-families supplemented by a discrete $Z_4$ symmetry naturally leads to almost maximal…
We consider the simplest model which solves the solar and atmospheric neutrino puzzles, in the sense that it contains the smallest amount of beyond the Standard Model ingredients. The solar neutrino data is accounted for by Planck-mass…
Theory suggests the existence of neutrino masses, but little more. Facts are coming close to reveal our fantasy: solar and atmospheric neutrino data strongly indicate the need for neutrino conversions, while LSND provides an intriguing…
Present neutrino data are consistent with neutrino masses arising from a common seed at some ``neutrino unification'' scale $M_X$. Such a simple theoretical ansatz naturally leads to quasi-degenerate neutrinos that could lie in the…
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 analyze the spectrum and mixing among neutrinos in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with explicit breaking of R parity. It is shown that ({\em i}) the mixing among neutrinos is naturally large and ({\em ii}) the non zero…
We discuss possibility of describing solar, atmospheric and LSND results with four neutrinos forming two quasi-degenerate pairs. The simplest versions of this 2+2 scheme with either $\nu_e$ or $\nu_\mu$ mixing exclusively with sterile…
We discuss the neutrino mixing, using the texture 0 mass matrices, which work very well for the quarks. The solar mixing angle is directly linked to the mass ratio of the first two neutrinos. The neutrino masses are hierarchical, but the…
Neutrino physics has entered an era of precision measurements. With these precise measurements, we may be able to distinguish different models that have been constructed to explain the small neutrino masses and the large mixing among them.…
The recent experimental results indicating the neutrino oscillations may strongly suggest that at least one more light neutrino species is required in order to reconcile the existing data. In the simple GUT frameworks, this fact seems…
We review theoretical ideas, problems and implications of different models for neutrino masses and mixing angles. We give a general discussion of schemes with three or more light neutrinos. Several specific examples are analyzed in some…
Many unified models predict two large neutrino mixing angles, with the charged lepton mixing angles being small and quark-like, and the neutrino masses being hierarchical. Assuming this, we present simple approximate analytic formulae…
We show that the assumption of type II seesaw mechanism for small neutrino masses coupled with $b-\tau$ mass unification in a minimal SUSY SO(10) model leads not only to a natural understanding of large atmospheric mixing angle…
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,…
We propose a novel theoretical understanding of neutrino masses and mixings, which is attributed to the intrinsic vector-like feature of the regularized Standard Model at short distances. We try to explain the smallness of Dirac neutrino…
We consider neutrino mixings in supersymmetric SU(5) supplemented by a U(1) flavor symmetry. In particular, we show how bi-maximal neutrino mixings can be realized. Two scenarios for implementing the small mixing angle MSW solution, with…
We present simple and predictive scenarios for neutrino masses which lead to a bimaximal pattern of mixings that apparently provides the best fit to the current solar and atmospheric neutrino data. It is shown that an approximate global…
A supersymmetric model based on a left-right symmetric gauge group is proposed where hybrid inflation, baryogenesis and neutrino oscillations are linked.This scheme, supplemented by a familiar ansatz for the neutrino Dirac masses and mixing…
