It has been shown that the neutrino mass matrices with two texture zeros in the charged lepton basis predict non-zero 1-3 mixing and are necessarily CP violating with one possible exception in class C for maximal mixing.
We reexamine the democratic neutrino mixing ansatz, in which the mass matrices of charged leptons and Majorana neutrinos arise respectively from the explicit breaking of S(3)_L x S(3)_R and S(3) flavor symmetries. It is shown that a…
The solar and baseline neutrino oscillation data suggest bimaximal neutrino mixing among the first two generations, and trimaximal mixing between all three neutrino flavors. It has been conjectured that this indicates the existence of an…
In the theoretical framework of Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) plus three right-handed neutrinos we consider a universal treatment for the mass matrices, aside from that the active neutrinos acquire their small mass through the type-I…
We consider a model based on $A_4$ symmetry to explain the phenomenon of neutrino mixing. The spontaneous symmetry breaking of $A_4$ symmetry leads to a co-bimaximal mixing matrix at leading order. We consider the effect of higher order…
We study the implications of neutrino oscillations with maximal mixing for the neutrino Dirac and Majorana matrices in the see-saw mechanism for three non degenerate neutrino masses. We find the form of the Dirac matrix for a structure-less…
We present a systematic study of 400 combinations of the charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices with six vanishing entries or texture zeros. Only 24 of them, which can be classified into a few distinct categories, are found to be…
The neutrino oscillation data find a good approximation in the so-called tri-bimaximal pattern. Recently a paper appeared showing that also the bimaximal pattern, which is already ruled out by the measurements, could be a very good starting…
Generally the diagonalization of the mass matrix of the charged leptons is a part of the neutrino UPMNS matrix. However, usually this contribution is ignored by assuming a diagonal mass matrix for charged leptons. In this letter we test…
We perform a systematic analysis of the PMNS matrices which arise when one assigns the three generations of leptons to the $2\oplus 1$ representation of a horizontal $SU_H(2)$ symmetry. This idea has been previously explored by Kuchimanchi…
Solar and atmospheric neutrino anomalies are described by bimaximal mixing of three neutrinos. Neutrino oscillations in appearance nu_e <--> nu_mu,nu_tau and in disappearance nu_e long baseline and atmospheric experiments are sensitive to…
We present some recent developments on model building for neutrino masses and mixings. In particular, we review tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing derived from discrete groups, notably A4. We discuss the problems encountered with extending the…
We diagonalize Majorana neutrino mass matrix with the help of PMNS matrix and obtain analytical relations between the mass matrix elements and mixing parameters, viz., three mixing angles- $\theta_{12}, \theta_{23}, \theta_{13}$ and Dirac…
We note that the emerging features of lepton mixing can be reproduced if, with inverted neutrino mass ordering, both the smallest neutrino mass and the $\tau\tau$ element of the neutrino mass matrix vanish. Then, the atmospheric neutrino…
The bimaximal (BM) neutrino mixing matrix was formulated in order to accommodate the data of the experimental results which indicate that both solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation in vacuum are near maximal. But, after the T2K and…
In view of the recent announcement on non-zero neutrino mass from Super-Kamiokande experiment, it would be very timely to investigate all the possible scenarios on masses and mixings of light neutrinos. Recently suggested mass matrix…
We present a model of neutrino mixing based on the flavour group $\Delta(27)$ in order to account for the observation of a non-zero reactor mixing angle ($\theta_{13}$). The model provides a common flavour structure for the charged-lepton…
We present the general form of the unitary matrices keeping invariant the Majorana neutrino mass matrix of specific texture suitable for explaining oscillation data. In the case of the Tri-bimaximal pattern with two degenerate masses we…
We propose a particularly economical neutrino mass model, in which there are only two right-handed Majorana neutrinos of ${\cal O}(1)$ TeV and their masses are highly degenerate. Its novel Yukawa-coupling texture together with the seesaw…
The current study aimed to investigate the special case of two zeros in a Majorana neutrino mass matrix based on $A_4$ symmetry, where charged lepton mass matrix is diagonal. The texture $M_\nu^{S_7}$ with $(\mu, \mu)$ and $(\tau,\tau)$…
