We studied the phenomenological implications of texture zeros in the neutrino mass matrix of the minimal left-right symmetric model (LRSM). Since the possibility of maximum zeros reduces the maximum number of free parameters of the model…
Texture-zero ansatze offer an economical description of neutrino masses, with current data allowing only seven inequivalent two-zero Majorana textures in the charged-lepton mass basis. We investigate how such textures can arise from…
The recent results of the Planck experiment put a stringent constraint on the sum of the light neutrino masses, m1+m2+m3 < 0.23 eV (95 % CL). On the other hand, two-zero Majorana mass matrix textures predict strong correlations among the…
We respond to the comments of S. Sharma et al. [Phys. Rev. D 91, 038301 (2015)] on my recent paper, Y. Giraldo [Phys. Rev. D 86, 093021 (2012)]. In their comments, they begin discussing a particular class of five-zero texture…
The latest data from Planck collaboration has presented an improved sensitivity limit of the sum of neutrino masses ($\Sigma$), $\Sigma <0.17eV$ at 95$\%$ confidence level (CL). On the other hand, the updated global fits of neutrino…
Recently, using specific Weak Basis transformations, Y. Giraldo [Phys. Rev. D 86, 093021 (2012)] has constructed some texture 5 and 4 zero quark mass matrices and examined their compatibility with the quark mixing data. In this comment, we…

We present the first study of treating b, c, and s quarks as Dirac fermions in lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry. For 100 gauge configurations generated with single-plaquette action at beta = 7.2 on the 32^3 x 60 lattice, we compute…
We propose a novel quark mass matrix texture-pair with five free parameters, which fits the four quark mass ratios $m_s/m_b$, $m_d/m_b$, $m_c/m_t$, $m_u/m_t$, and the four CKM quark mixing observables. The matrices each have one texture…
The current experimental determination of the absolute values of the CKM elements indicates that 2|Vub / Vcb/ Vus| = (1-z) with z given by z = 0.19 +(-) 0.14. This fact implies that irrespective of the form of the quark Yukawa matrices, the…
In view of the latest T2K and MINOS neutrino oscillation data which hint at a relatively large theta_13, we perform a systematic study of the Majorana neutrino mass matrix M_nu with two independent texture zeros. We show that three neutrino…
We determine the masses and decay constants of the pseudoscalar mesons Bs and Bc, and also the masses of the vector mesons Bs^* and Bc^*, in quenched lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry. For 100 gauge configurations generated with…
We study the implications of the simultaneous existence of a texture zero and a vanishing minor in the neutrino mass matrix. There are thirty six possible texture structures of this type, twenty one of which reduce to two texture zero cases…
Assuming Majorana nature of neutrinos, we investigate the singular one texture zero neutrino mass matrices in the flavor basis. We find that for the normal mass ordering with $m_1=0$, all the six one texture zero classes are now ruled out…
The phenomenology of most general quark mass matrices with minimum of three texture zeros obtained through weak basis (WB) transformations has been discussed within the framework of the standard Model (SM). The relationship of textures,…
We study the SUSY SO(10) GUT with the symmetric two-zero textures of quark/lepton mass matrix which realize the Georgei-Jarlskog relations in down-type quark and charged lepton masses. We show that the important constraints to such…
We provide a complete and systematic analysis of hermitian, hierarchical quark mass matrices with four texture zeros. Using triangular mass matrices, each pattern of texture zeros is readily shown to lead to a definite relation between the…
We present a numeric method for the analysis of the fermion mass matrices predicted in flavour models. The method does not require any previous algebraic work, it offers a $\chi^{2}$ comparison test and an easy estimate of confidence…
We review the two-zero mass matrix textures approach for Dirac neutrinos with the most recent global fit in the oscillation parameters. We found that three of the 15 possible textures are compatible with current experimental data, while the…
