We reconsider an universal mass matrix model which has a seesaw-invariant structure with four-zero texture common to all quarks and leptons. The CKM quark and MNS lepton mixing matrices of the model are analyzed analytically.We show that…

The neutrino mass hierarchy, i.e., whether the $\nu_3$ neutrino mass eigenstate is heavier or lighter than the $\nu_1$ and $\nu_2$ mass eigenstates, is one of the remaining undetermined fundamental features of the neutrino Standard Model.…

The recent results of neutrino experiments indicate the existence of the right-handed neutrinos with masses around intermediate scale, which affects the prediction of the bottom-tau mass ratio. In the minimal supersymmetric standard model,…

We analyse a supersymmetric string-inspired model of all fermion masses and mixing angles based on the Pati-Salam $SU(4)\times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ gauge group supplemented by a $U(1)_X$ flavour symmetry. The model involves third family…

Alternatives to the see-saw mechanism are explored in supersymmetric models with three right-handed or sterile neutrinos. Tree-level Yukawa couplings can be drastically suppressed in a natural way to give sub-eV Dirac neutrino masses. If,…

Non-unitary $3 \times 3$ mixing matrices are present in many extensions of the Standard Model. One of the most simple extensions is the addition of $n_R$ right-handed neutrinos without imposing Lepton Number Conservation ($n_R$$\nu$SM). In…

We study a mechanism where tiny neutrino masses arise only from radiative contribution in a supersymmetric model. In each generation, the tree-level light neutrino mass is rotated away by introducing a second SM singlet $s_{L}$ that forms a…

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…

A solution for the neutrino mass and mixing pattern is proposed which is compatible with all available experimental data on neutrino oscillations. This solution involves Majorana neutrinos of the pseudo-Dirac type, i.e. m_Majorana <<…

Using an $SO(10)$-inspired form for the Dirac neutrino mass, we map the neutrino data to right-handed neutrino Majorana mass-matrix, $\mathcal M$, and investigate a special form with \emph{seesaw} tribimaximal mixing; it predicts a normal…

I demonstrate that neutrino large mixing between $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$ are naturally reproduced using a novel mechanism called `E-twisting'in a supersymmetric $E_6$ grand unification model. This model explains all the characteristic…

We consider the neutrino mixing angles in an SO(10) GUT with the usual Higgs structure in which neutrino masses are explained by the type-I see-saw mechanism. The Dirac-neutrino Yukawa matrix then has a structure similar to that of the…

We investigate the nature (Dirac vs. Majorana) and size of left-handed neutrino masses in a supersymmetric five-dimensional model compactified in the interval [0,\pi R], where quarks and leptons are localized on the boundaries while the…

We show that the neutrino mass matrix with the minimal texture leads to the neutrino mass and mixing that are empirically determined, including $\theta_{13}$ that is measured recently at a high precision. This mass matrix, where the…

Two new neutrino mass matrix textures exhibiting the \emph{mixed $\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry} are proposed. The mass matrices hint for a promising neutrino mixing schemes and find their connections with $\Delta(27)$ and $A_{4}$ discrete symmetry…

We consider the most general neutrino masses and mixings including Dirac mass terms, M_D, as well as Majorana masses, M_R and M_L. Neither the Majorana nor the Dirac mass matrices are expected to be diagonal in the eigenbasis of weak…
