To generate the minimal neutrino Majorana mass matrix that has a free solar mixing angle and Delta m_sol^2 = 0 it suffices to implement an O(2) symmetry, or one of its subgroups SO(2), Z_N (N>2), or D_N (N>2). This O(2) generalizes the…

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…

A $Z_{2L}\times Z_{2R}$ generation symmetry in the neutrino sector predicts the atmospheric neutrino mixing to be maximal, and the MNS matrix element $U_{e3}$ to be zero, consistent with observations. Solar neutrino mixing may be maximal…

We note that the emerging features of lepton mixing can be reproduced if, with inverted neutrino mass ordering, both the smallest neutrino mass and the $\tau\tau$ element of the neutrino mass matrix vanish. Then, the atmospheric neutrino…

The usual Bi-Maximal (BM) neutrino mixing faces an inherent problem in lowering the solar mixing angle below $\tan^{2}\theta_{12}=0.50$ when charged lepton correction is taken. This minimum $\theta_{12}$ is achievable only if CP violation…

It is proposed that light neutrinos form a triplet in a global SU(3) symmetry in mass eigenstate basis. Assuming that the SU(3)symmetry is broken in the direction (-alambda_{3}+frac{b}/{sqrt{3}}lambda_{8}), and after going to the flavor…

In a recent paper [1] we showed that, assuming no fine tuning between certain elements of the neutrino mass matrix, one can link the element U_{e3} of the lepton mixing matrix to solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters. This…

The present article is an endeavor to look into some fruitful frameworks based on "Bi-maximal" neutrino mixing, from a model independent stand. The possibilities involving the correction or attenuation of the original BM mixing matrix,…

A Zee-type neutrino mass matrix model with a badly broken horizontal symmetry SU(3)_H is investigated. By putting a simple ansatz on the symmetry breaking effects of SU(3)_H for transition matrix elements, it is demonstrated that the model…

In a new application of the discrete non-Abelian symmetry A_4 using the canonical seesaw mechanism, a three-parameter form of the neutrino mass matrix is derived. It predicts the following mixing angles for neutrino oscillations:…

Possible maximal mixing seen in the oscillations of the atmospheric neutrinos has led to postulate of a $\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry which interchanges $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$. We argue that such symmetry need not be special to neutrinos but can…

A model independent analysis of the leptonic Dirac CP-violating phase ({\delta}) is presented. The analysis uses the experimentally determined values of the mixing angles in the lepton mixing matrix in order to explore the allowed values…

Status of the discrete symmetry approach to explanation of the lepton masses and mixing is summarized in view of recent experimental results, in particular, establishing relatively large 1-3 mixing. The lepton mixing can originate from…

We study the effects of breaking S3 symmetry in the neutrino mass matrix for the masses and mixing matrix of neutrinos. At zeroth order the model gives degenerate neutrino masses and accommodates tribimaximal mixing. We introduce…

Best-fit values of recent global analyzes of neutrino data imply large solar neutrino mixing, vanishing U_{e3} and a non-maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing angle theta_{23}. We show that these values emerge naturally by the hypothesis of…

We show that both small mixing in the quark sector and large mixing in the lepton sector can be obtained from a simple assumption of universality of Yukawa couplings and the right-handed neutrino Majorana mass matrix in leading order. We…

In the presence of independent generations of leptons, I show that the same type of ambiguity in the mass spectrum arises as was discussed in ref.[1] for neutral kaons. It results from the freedom to add to their Majorana mass matrix,…

Neutrino oscillation experiments (excluding the LSND experiment) suggest a tri-bimaximal form for the lepton mixing matrix. This form indicates that the mixing matrix is probably independent of the lepton masses, and suggests the action of…

The recent results from Daya Bay and RENO reactor neutrino experiments have firmly established that the smallest reactor mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ is non-vanishing at the $5 \sigma$ level, with a relatively large value, i.e.,…

Large neutrino mixing angles suggest that the Yukawa sector is invariant under permutations of the fermion families. This S_{3} permutation symmetry is broken at a large energy scale but much below the unification scale. Assuming that the…
