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 point attention to the fact that in SO(10) models with non-canonical (type II) see-saw mechanism and exact b-tau unification the trace of the neutrino mass matrix is very small, in fact practically zero. This has the advantage of being a…

We study the impact of maximal zeros of the Dirac mass matrix on neutrino phenomenology and dark matter within the framework of an inverse seesaw ISS $(2,3)$. ISS $(2,3)$ is obtained by adding two right handed neutrinos and three gauge…

We propose a neutrino mass matrix texture bearing a suitable correlation $m_{22}=-2\,m_{13}$ and study its phenomenological implications. In light of both normal and inverted hierarchies, the texture imposes specific bounds on some…

We analyze neutrino mass matrices having one texture zero, assuming that the neutrino mixing matrix has either its first (TM$_1$) or second (TM$_2$) column identical to that of the tribimaximal mixing matrix. We found that all the six…

We show that it is possible to fully determine the neutrino mass spectrum from two-zero textures of the neutrino mass matrix. As a consequence, definite predictions can be obtained for the neutrinoless double beta decay.

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…

We present a detailed analysis and phenomenological consequences of neutrino mass matrix, $M_{\nu}$, with one-zero texture in the flavor basis where the active neutrino sector is extended by one sterile neutrino (3+1 case). In particular,…

Recent experimental data is indicative of the existence of sterile neutrinos. The minimal scheme that can account for the data and is consistent with cosmological observations is the 3+1 picture which consists of three predominantly active…

The neutrinoless double $\beta$-decay is reviewed. Model independent evidence in favor of neutrino masses and mixing is briefly summarized. The data of the recent experiments on the search for $0\nu\beta\beta$-decay are presented and some…

We study the phenomenological consequences of recent results from atmospheric and accelerator neutrino experiments, favoring normal neutrino mass ordering $m_1 < m_2 < m_3$, a near maximal lepton Dirac CP phase $\delta_{l}\sim 270^\circ$…

We investigate the properties of neutrino mass matrices that incorporate texture zeros and generalized CP symmetries associated with tribimaximal mixing. By combining these approaches, we derive predictive neutrino mass matrices and explore…

In the present paper, we have studied that the implication of a large value of the effective Majorana neutrino mass in case of neutrino mass matrices having either two equal elements and one zero element (popularly known as hybrid texture)…

I investigate viable textures with two texture zeros for the inverted neutrino mass matrix, and present the predictions of those textures for the neutrino masses and for lepton mixing. By using an Abelian symmetry and one or two heavy…
