The presence of a zero texture in the neutrino mass matrix can indicate the presence of an underlying symmetry which can generate neutrino mass and mixing. In this paper, for the first time we study the four-zero textures of the low energy…
We propose a new, minimal Majorana neutrino mass matrix texture and study its predictions within a partial tri-bimaximal (TBM) mixing scheme, where $\sin\theta_{12} = 1/\sqrt{3}$ and $\sin\theta_{23} = 1/\sqrt{2}$, with $\theta_{13}$ and…
Recent interest in flavour or horizontal symmetry building (mass textures) has been spurred mainly by the large top mass and, hence, the strong hierarchy in quark masses. Recently, various symmetry breaking schemes have been proposed based…
