It is shown that the neutrino mass matrices in the flavour basis yielding a vanishing $U_{e3}$ are characterized by invariance under a class of $Z_2$ symmetries. A specific $Z_2$ in this class also leads to a maximal atmospheric mixing…
We demonstrate that under the "symmetric zero texture" with minimal Majorana mass matrix, neutrino masses and mixing angles are expressed in terms of up-quark masses, $m_t,m_c,m_u$. This provides interesting relations among neutrino mixing…
We study a model for the mass matrices of the leptons. We are ablte to relate the mass eigenvalues of the charged leptons and of the neutrinos to the mxiing angles and can predict the masses of the neutrinos. We find a normal hierarchy -the…
After the successful determination of the reactor neutrino mixing angle \theta_13 ~ 0.16 \neq 0, a new feature suggested by the current neutrino oscillation data is a sizeable deviation of the atmospheric neutrino mixing angle \theta_23…
Is the relatively isolated member of the neutrino mass spectrum heavier or lighter than the two closely-spaced members? This question - the character of the neutrino mass hierarchy - is of great theoretical interest. All previously…
It has been shown that neutrino masses can be determined under the particle ansatz. In this paper, we give the general formulas of neutrino masses related to the neutrino oscillation parameters which show that there is a mass hierarchy…
In addition to three active neutrinos, one or more light sterile neutrinos have been conjectured to account for the LSND, MiniBooNE and reactor antineutrino anomalies (at the sub-eV mass scale) or for warm dark matter in the Universe (at…
We explore the consequences of the neutrino mass matrix having a hidden $\mathcal{Z}_2$ symmetry and one zero eigenvalue. When implemented, these two conditions give relations among the mixing angles. In addition, fitting these relations to…
We give minimal values for the smallest lepton mixing parameter U_{e3}, applying 2-loop renormalization group equations in an effective theory approach. This is relevant in scenarios that predict an inverted neutrino mass spectrum with the…
This is an extension of estimates of the probability of $\nu$ to $e$ neutrino oscillation with one sterile neutrino to three sterile neutrinos, using a 6x6 matrix. Since the mixing angle for only one sterile neutrino has been experimentally…
Motivated by the possibility that the amplitude for neutrinoless double beta decay may be much smaller than the planned sensitivity of future experiments, we study ansatze for the neutrino mass matrix with $M_{ee} = 0$. For the case in…
Whether the neutrino mass spectrum is normal (m_1 < m_2 < m_3) or abnormal (m_3 < m_1 < m_2) remains an open question, but we show that the latter possibility looks quite unnatural when it is related to the lepton flavor mixing matrix U in…
Determination of the neutrino mass ordering (NMO) is one of the biggest priorities in the intensity frontier of high energy particle physics. To accomplish that goal a lot of efforts are being put together with the atmospheric, solar,…
There are two basic theoretical approaches to obtaining neutrino mass and mixing. In the minimalist approach, one adds just enough new stuff to the Minimal Standard Model to get $m_\nu \neq 0$ and $U_{\alpha i} \neq 1$. In the holistic…
Current neutrino data are consistent with the so-called tribimaximal mixing scenario, which predicts \sin^2 \theta_{12}=1/3, zero U_{e3} and maximal \theta_{23}. This implies a special form of the neutrino mass matrix. Introducing small…
We investigate the stability of neutrino mass matrix predictions on important and currently unknown observables. Those are the octant of $\theta_{23}$, the sign of $\sin\delta$ and the neutrino mass ordering. Determining those unknowns is…
Global fits to neutrino oscillation data are compatible with tri-bimaximal mixing pattern, which predicts $\theta_{23} = \frac{\pi}{4}, \theta_{12} = \sin^{-1} (\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})$ and $\theta_{13} = 0$. We propose here to parametrize the…
We exam the pairs of neutrino mixing matrix and suggest pairs that can be used in the construction of new mixing patterns, with "pair" denoting the equality of the modulus of a pair of matrix elements. The results show that the tri-maximal…
The present manuscript studies a recently proposed new neutrino mixing scheme with a neutrino mass selection rule, $m_{\nu}^{13} + m_{\nu}^{22} + m_{\nu}^{31} = 0$, among a neutrino mass matrix elements. The neutrino mass matrix texture is…
A new option of parameter constraint is described for the recently proposed neutrino mass formula involving primarily three free parameters. The option implies the vanishing of a part of mass formula for the lowest mass neutrino, the part…
