The discovery of neutrino masses has raised the importance of studies in the context of neutrinoless double beta decay, which constitutes a landmark for lepton number violation. The standard interpretation is that the light massive…

A simplified but very instructive analysis of the seesaw mechanism is here performed. Assuming a nearly diagonal Dirac neutrino mass matrix, we study the forms of the Majorana mass matrix of right-handed neutrinos, which reproduce the…

We study the four-body tau^+- -> nu_tau l^+- l^+- X^-+ decays where l=e or mu and X=pi, K, rho and K^* mesons. These decay processes violate the total lepton number (|Delta L|=2) and can be induced by the exchange of Majorana neutrinos. We…

We address the impact of a modified $W \ell \nu$ coupling on a wide range of observables, such as $\tau$ leptonic and mesonic decays, leptonic decays of pseudoscalar mesons, as well as semileptonic meson decays. In particular, we…

Due to sphaleron processes in the high-temperature symmetric phase of the standard model the cosmological baryon asymmetry is related to neutrino properties. For hierarchical neutrino masses, with $B-L$ broken at the unification scale…

Observation of lepton number ($L$) violation by two units at colliders would provide evidence for the Majorana nature of neutrinos. We study signals of $L$-violation in the context of two popular models of neutrino masses, the type-II…

Lepton number violation and its relation to neutrino masses is investigated in several versions of the $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_x$ model. Spontaneous and explicit violation and conservation of the lepton number are considered. In…

The persistent deviations observed in semileptonic $B$ decays, in particular the lepton flavor universality ratios $\mathcal{R}(D^{(*)})$ and $\mathcal{R}(\Lambda_c)$, provide intriguing hints of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM).…

We present a complete analysis of Lepton Flavor Universality (LFU) violations in leptonic $\tau$ decays in motivated models addressing the $B$-physics anomalies, based on the $SU(4)\times SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ gauge group. We show…

Using the general, model independent form of the effective Hamiltonian, the general expressions of the longitudinal, normal and transversal polarization asymmetries for (l^-) and (l^+) and combinations of them for the exclusive (B -> K l^+…

The pursuit for the genuine fundamental description, governing nature at some high-energy scale, must invariably consider the yet-unknown mechanism behind the generation of neutrino mass. Lepton-flavor violating decays $l_\alpha\to…

We analyze the effect of the non-universal $Z$ boson in the rare decays $B_s \to l^+ l^- $, $B_s \to l^+ l^- \gamma $ and $Z \to b \bar s$ decays. These decays involve the FCNC mediated $ b \to s $ transitions, and are found to be very…

The type-I seesaw model with two-zero textures of the Majorana mass matrix for the right-handed neutrinos $M^{}_{\rm R}$ provides a highly predictive framework for neutrino mass generation and baryon asymmetry of the Universe via…

We discuss the theory and phenomenology of decays of a leptophobic $U(1)_\X$ gauge boson $X$, such as has been proposed to explain the alleged deviations of $R_b$ and $R_c$ from standard model predictions. If the scalars involved in the…

We relate the observed pattern of leptonic mixing to the quaidegeneracy of three Majorana neutrinos. We show how lifting the degeneracy may lead to the measured value of $|U_{13}|$ and to sizeable CP violation of Dirac-type. We show some of…

We consider the Standard Model with right-handed neutrinos to explain the masses of active neutrinos by the seesaw mechanism. Since active neutrinos as well as heavy neutral leptons are Majorana fermions in this case, the lepton number…

We consider a class of left-right symmetric model with enlarged gauge group $SU(3)_c \times SU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R \times U(1)_X$ without having scalar bitriplet. In the absence of scalar bitriplet, there is no Dirac mass term for fermions…

We consider the contributions to the neutrinoless double beta decays in a $SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_N$ electroweak model. We show that for a range of the parameters in the model there are diagrams involving vector-vector-scalar and trilinear…

Type-I seesaw models with a spontaneously broken $B-L$ symmetry provide a natural framework for spontaneous leptogenesis driven by a Majoron. The kinetic background of the Majoron acts as a CP-violating source, generating a lepton asymmetry…

Based on the expectation generated by the discovery of new particles by current colliders, we analyze the decay of the Z' boson in the frame of one of the SU(3)L \otimes U(1)N electroweak extensions of the standard model. The main objective…
