Stimulated by a successful quark mass matrix model based on U(3)$\times$U(3)$'$ family symmetry, a phenomenological neutrino mass matrix for the Majorana neutrinos $(\nu_L, \nu_R^c, N_L, N_R^c)$ is proposed. The model has only three…

The 3 X 3 Majorana neutrino mass matrix is written as a sum of 3 terms, i.e. M_nu = M_A + M_B + M_C, where M_A is proportional to the identity matrix and M_B and M_C are invariant under different Z_3 transformations. This M_nu is very…

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…
