We investigate quantitatively the extent to which having a primordial leptonic asymmetry (n_nu \neq n_nubar) relaxes the bounds on light sterile neutrinos imposed by BBN and LSS. We adopt a few assumptions that allow us to solve the…
We point out the simple reversibility between the fundamental neutrino mixing parameters in vacuum and their effective counterparts in matter. The former can therefore be expressed in terms of the latter, allowing more straightforward…

The specific violated mirror symmetry model is capable of generating the observed lepton weak mixing matrix with a structure similar to the observed one that almost lacks any visible regularities (the "flavor riddle"). The peculiarities of…

A summary of neutrino oscillation results is given along with a discussion of neutrino mass generation mechanisms, including high and low-scale seesaw, with and without supersymmetry, as well as recent attempts to understand flavor. I argue…
Implications of a simple model for the mass generation of leptons are studied, in particular for the upcoming long-baseline neutrino experiments. The flavor mixing angles are large (nearly maximal). The probability for the long-baseline…

Theory suggests the existence of neutrino masses, but little more. Facts are coming close to reveal our fantasy: solar and atmospheric neutrino data strongly indicate the need for neutrino conversions, while LSND provides an intriguing…
The radiative decay of ultrarelativistic massive neutrino $\nu_i \rightarrow \nu_j \gamma$ is investigated in electromagnetic fields in the framework of the Standard Model with lepton mixing. Estimates of the decay probability and ``decay…
What information about the neutrino mass spectrum and mixing matrix can be inferred from the existing neutrino oscillation data? We discuss here the answer to this question in the case of mixing of three and four neutrinos. We present the…
In addition to the problem of galaxy formation, one of the greatest open questions of cosmology is represented by the existence of an asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the baryonic component of the Universe. We believe that a net…

One can describe cosmological relic neutrinos by adding Lagrange multipliers to the Standard Model Lagrangian for them. The two possible Lagrange multipliers are a chemical potential, which fixes the mean neutrino/anti-neutrino asymmetry,…
We propose a novel theoretical understanding of neutrino masses and mixings, which is attributed to the intrinsic vector-like feature of the regularized Standard Model at short distances. We try to explain the smallness of Dirac neutrino…
