We suggest a simple modification of the maximal mixing scenario (with $S_3$ permutation symmetry) for three light neutrinos. Our neutrino mass matrix has smaller permutation symmetry $S_{2}$ ($\nu_{\mu} \leftrightarrow \nu_{e}$), and is…
We investigate the phenomenological consequences of lepton mass matrices originated from the family permutation symmetry and its suitable breakings. Adopting the recently proposed new mass matrix for the charged lepton mass matrix and the…
We suggest mass matrices for neutrinos and charged leptons that can explain solar and atmospheric neutrino data. The resulting flavor mixing matrix $V_{\nu}$ has a property that $(V_{\nu})_{13}=0$, thus making $\nu_e \leftrightarrow…
Assuming the canonical seesaw mechanism together with an SO(3) family symmetry for leptons, broken only by the charged-lepton masses, I show that the three neutrinos of Majorana mass $m_0$ are split radiatively in two loops by a maximum…
The three active light neutrinos are used to explain the neutrino oscillations. The inherently bi-large mixing neutrino mass matrix and the Fritzsch type, bi-small mixing charged lepton mass matrix are assumed. By requiring the maximal…
An explicit form of charged--lepton mass matrix, predicting $ m_\tau = 1776.80 $~MeV from the experimental values of $ m_e $ and $ m_\mu$ (in good agreement with the experimental figure $ m_\tau = 1777.05^{+0.29}_{-0.26}$ MeV), is applied…
With the accumulation of many years of solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation data, the approximate form of the 3 times 3 neutrino mixing matrix is now known. What is not known is the (presumably Majorana) neutrino mass matrix M_{nu}…
Two schemes of mixing of four massive neutrinos with two couples of close neutrino masses separated by a gap of the order of 1 eV can accommodate solar, atmospheric and LSND neutrino oscillation data. It is shown that long-baseline…
Inspired by the neutrino oscillations data, we consider the exact $\mu-\tau$ symmetry, implemented at the level of the neutrino mass matrix, as a good initial framework around which to study and describe neutrino phenomenology. Working in…
The permutation symmetry $S_3$ is appplied to obtain two equal Majorana neutrino masses, while maintaining three different charged-lepton masses and suppressing neutrinoless double beta decay. The resulting radiative splitting of the two…
Two schemes of mixing of four massive neutrinos with two close neutrino masses separated by a gap of Delta m^2 about 1 eV^2 can accommodate solar, atmospheric and LSND neutrino oscillation data. It is shown that long-baseline nu(e)->nu(x)…
We construct a mass matrix for the four neutrino flavors, three active and one sterile, needed to fit oscillations in all three neutrino experiments: atmospheric, solar, and LSND, simultaneously. It organizes the neutrinos into two doublets…
If a family symmetry exists so that all three neutrinos have equal Majorana masses (via the seesaw mechanism), then the breaking of this symmetry from charged-lepton masses (via two-loop double $W$ exchange) implies $\Delta m$ less than…
We propose simple phenomenological lepton mass matrices which describe the three neutrinos almost degenerate in mass, leading to a very large mixing angle between $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$, as consistent with a recent report on atmospheric…
Assuming 3 neutrino mixing and massive Majorana neutrinos, we analyze the implications of the results of the solar neutrino experiments, including the latest SNO data, which favor the LMA MSW solution of the solar neutrino problem with…
We propose a model for lepton mass matrices based on the seesaw mechanism, a complex scalar gauge singlet and a horizontal symmetry $S_3 \times \mathbbm{Z}_2$. In a suitable weak basis, the charged-lepton mass matrix and the neutrino Dirac…
We discuss models where the U(1) symmetries of lepton numbers are responsible for maximal neutrino mixing. We pay particular attention to an extension of the Standard Model with three right-handed neutrino singlets in which we require that…
Using the residual symmetry approach, we propose a complex extension of the scaling ansatz on $M_\nu$ which allows a nonzero mass for each of the three light neutrinos as well as a nonvanishing $\theta_{13}$. Leptonic Dirac CP violation…
Renormalizable lepton number violating interactions that break R-parity can induce a Majorana mass for neutrinos. Based on this, we show that it is possible to obtain a phenomenologically viable neutrino mass matrix that can accommodate…
We simplify and extend our previous model for the masses and mixing matrix of three Majorana neutrinos based on permutation symmetry $S_3$ and the perturbations which violate this symmetry. The perturbations are arranged such that we get…
