We point out two simple but instructive possibilities to construct the charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices, from which the nearly bi-maximal neutrino mixing with large T violation can naturally emerge. The two lepton mixing scenarios…

Neutrino oscillations are precision probes of new physics beyond the Standard Model. Apart from neutrino masses and mixings, they are also sensitive to possible deviations of low-energy interactions between quarks and leptons from the…
We study the role of a very general type of flavor symmetry in controlling the strength of R-parity violation in supersymmetric models. We assume that only leptons are charged under a global symmetry whose breaking induces lepton number…
Theories with non-Abelian flavour symmetries lead at zeroth order to neutrino degeneracy and massless charged fermions. The flavour symmetry is spontaneously broken sequentially to give hierarchies $\Delta m_{atm}^2 \gg \Delta m_{\odot}^2$…
Collective neutrino oscillations play a crucial role in transporting lepton flavor in astrophysical settings like supernovae and neutron star binary merger remnants, which are characterized by large neutrino densities. In these settings,…

We construct the theta-exact covariant noncommutative (NC) model and obtain various closed constraints on the NC scale (Lambda_NC) from inelastic neutrino-nucleon scatterings (nu N -> nu+X), from plasmon decay into neutrino pair (gamma_pl…
We consider the possibility that sterile neutrinos exist and admit a description as unparticles; we call these {\em unsterile} neutrinos. We then examine the nature of neutrino oscillations in a model where an unsterile can mix with two…
The dynamics of fermions on curved spacetime requires a spin connection, which contains a part called contorsion, an auxiliary field without dynamics but fully expressible in terms of the axial current density of fermions. Its effect is the…
