We speculate that the mass spectrum of three neutrinos might have a normal hierarchy as that of three charged leptons or that of three up-type (or down-type) quarks. In this spirit, we propose a novel parametrization of the $3\times 3$…
In the light of the recent measurement of the leptonic mixing angle $\theta_{13}$, implications of the latest mixing data have been investigated for non-minimal textures of lepton mass matrices pertaining to Dirac neutrinos. All these…
The question "how small is the lepton mixing angle \theta_{13}?" had a convincing answer in a surprisingly short time, \theta_{13} \simeq 9^{\circ}, a large value comparable to the Chooz limit. It defines a new epoch in the program of…
We present a model for leptonic mixing and the lepton masses based on flavor symmetries and higher-dimensional mass operators. The model predicts bilarge leptonic mixing (i.e., the mixing angles theta_{12} and theta_{23} are large and the…
Flavour symmetries of Froggatt-Nielsen type can naturally reconcile the large quark and charged lepton mass hierarchies and the small quark mixing angles with the observed small neutrino mass hierarchies and their large mixing angles. We…
We revisit the possibility of relating lepton mixing angles with lepton mass hierarchies in a model-independent way. Guided by the existence of such relations in the quark sector, we first consider all the mixing angles, both in charged…
The Daya Bay Collaboration has recently observed neutrino oscillations in the nu_e-bar -> nu_e-bar disappearance channel, indicating that sin^2 theta_13 = 0.024 +(-) 0.005 (1 sigma) and theta_13 = 0 is already excluded at the 5.2 sigma…
The lepton mixing angles of the PMNS matrix are predicted based on the lepton flavor symmetry of a finite group $C_2\times D_3$, where the cyclic group $C_2$ acts on the charged lepton mass terms and the dihedral group $D_3$ on the neutrino…
We present a model of neutrino mixing based on the flavour group $\Delta(27)$ in order to account for the observation of a non-zero reactor mixing angle ($\theta_{13}$). The model provides a common flavour structure for the charged-lepton…
The mass matrices of the charged leptons and neutrinos, that had been derived in the framework of a Minimal S_3-invariant Extension of the Standard Model, are here reparametrized in terms of their eigenvalues. The neutrino mixing matrix,…
We consider a minimal condition that predicts the 1-3 lepton mixing angle $\theta_{13} \simeq \theta_{\rm C}/\sqrt{2}$ with $\theta_{\rm C}$ the Cabibbo angle, and give the improved prediction of $\theta_{13}$. In the case of normal mass…
In the light of the recent measurement of the leptonic mixing angle $\theta_{13}$, implications of the latest mixing data have been investigated for non-minimal textures of lepton mass matrices assuming the neutrinos to be Majorana like.…
An approximate Z_3 family symmetry is proposed for leptons which results in a neutrino mass matrix with sin^2 2 theta_atm = 1 and tan^2 theta_sol = 0.5, but the latter value could easily be smaller. A generic requirement of this approach is…
Recent data of reactor neutrino experiments set more stringent constraint on leptonic mixing patterns. We examine all possible patterns on the basis of combinations of elementary correlations of elements of leptonic mixing matrix. we obtain…
In the present work, the inverted hierarchical neutrino mass model which is characterised by opposite CP parity in the first two mass eigenvalues $(m_1,-m_2,m_3)$, is studied in order to lower the predicted value of solar mixing angle…
The phenomenology of the most general lepton mass matrices obtained through weak basis transformations has been discussed. Using a hierarchical parametrization of these mass matrices, the exact relations for lepton mixing angles have been…
Present data prefer a large but non-maximal 2-3 mixing in the lepton sector. We argue that this value, in connection with $\sin\theta_{13}\simeq 0.15$, is the generic outcome of minimal flavour structures. We present a few different…
Implications of recently measured leptonic mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ as well as the other two mixing angles have been examined for Fritzsch-like mass matrices with minimal texture for Dirac neutrinos. Interestingly, the existing data seems…
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 review of recent measurements of the neutrino mixing angle theta-13 is presented. In the standard parametrisation of three-neutrino mixing this is the last of the three mixing angles to be determined, and is known to be the smallest. The…
