The precision of the neutrino oscillation parameters measurements has improved and will continue to improve as the next-generation experiments become online. Beyond the more precise measurements of the mixing angles and phases used to…

We propose a parametrization of the lepton mixing matrix in terms of an expansion in powers of the deviations of the reactor, solar and atmospheric mixing angles from their tri-bimaximal values. We show that unitarity triangles and neutrino…

It is shown that the simplest breaking of the subnuclear democracy leads to a successful description of the mixing between the second and third family. In the lepton channel the nu_mu - nu_tau -oscillations are expected to be described by a…

We study the lepton sector in the model based on the local gauge group $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_X$ which do not contain particles with exotic electric charges. The seesaw mechanism and discrete $A_4$ symmetry are introduced into…

Current data indicates that lepton mixing is very close to the tri-bimaximal mixing scenario. In general, however, one expects deviations from any mixing scenario. We discuss several examples to perturb tri-bimaximal mixing, namely soft…

We note that a simple two parameter description of lepton mixing is possible which reproduces the features that apparently emerge from global fits at the 1\sigma level: if U_{e3} is non-zero it implies that the solar neutrino mixing…

In this paper we study three active neutrino oscillations, favored by recent data from SuperK and SNO, using a new parametrization of the lepton mixing matrix $V$ constructed from a linear combination of the unit matrix $I$, and a hermitian…

Tri/bi-maximal mixing (TBM) is a specific lepton mixing ansatz, which describes the trend of the current neutrino oscillation data, in particular the recent SNO and KAMLAND results. The significant feature of TBM in this respect is…

We reexamine the democratic neutrino mixing ansatz, in which the mass matrices of charged leptons and Majorana neutrinos arise respectively from the explicit breaking of S(3)_L x S(3)_R and S(3) flavor symmetries. It is shown that a…

In the context of quark (as for lepton) mixing, we introduce the concept of the matrix of unitarity triangle angles $\Phi$, emphasising that it carries equivalent information to the complex mixing matrix $V$ itself. The angle matrix $\Phi$…

We consider trimaximal lepton mixing, defined by |U_{alpha 2}|^2 = 1/3 for all alpha = e, mu, tau. This corresponds to a two-parameter lepton mixing matrix U. We present a model for the lepton sector in which trimaximal mixing is enforced…

The neutrino mixing matrix U is in general of the form U=U_e^+ U_nu, where U_e arises from the diagonalization of charged leptons and U_nu is from the neutrino sector. We discuss the possibility that U_nu is nearly diagonal (in the…

In this paper, we realize the tri-bimaximal mixing in the lepton sector in the context of minimal seesaw in which only two right-handed neutrinos are introduced, with the discrete group $S4$ as the family symmetry. In order to constrain the…

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 $3\times 3$…

Following recent results from the SNO solar neutrino experiment and the K2K long-baseline neutrino experiment, the combined existing data on neutrino oscillations now point strongly to a specific form for the lepton mixing matrix, with…

We introduce an ansatz of the PMNS matrix that consists of specific types of transformations. Bi-maximal mixing is taken for the neutrino masses, while a single-angle rotation in the 1-2 block is taken for the charged lepton masses.…

We present minimalist constructions for lepton masses and mixing based on flavour symmetry under the modular group $\Gamma_N$ of lowest level $N=2$. As opposed to the only existing model of $\Gamma_2\cong S_3$ formulated in a SUSY…

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…

We generalize the notion of democratic mixing matrices for neutrinos and propose a scheme in which the electron neutrino is a superposition of three different mass eigenstates with equal weights. This scheme accounts for the recent SNO…

I review the construction of a model for lepton masses based on the flavour symmetry group A4 x U(1) reproducing the so-called tri-bimaximal lepton mixing scheme, in eccelent agreement with current data. The model predicts a neutrino…
