In the minimal 3-3-1 model charged leptons come in a nondiagonal basis. Moreover, the Yukawa interactions of the model lead to a non-hermitian charged lepton mass matrix. In other words, the minimal 3-3-1 model presents a very complex lepton mixing. In view of this we check rigorously if the possible textures of the lepton mass matrices allowed by the minimal 3-3-1 model can lead or not to the neutrino mixing required by the recent experiments in neutrino oscillation.

We realize a model-independent study of the so-called Tri-Bi-Maximal pattern of leptonic flavor mixing. Different charged lepton mass matrix textures are studied. In particular, we are interested in those textures with a minimum number of parameters and that are able to reproduce the current experimental data on neutrino oscillation. The textures studied here form an equivalent class with two texture zeros. We obtain a Tri-Bi-Maximal pattern deviation in terms of the charged leptons masses, leading to a reactor angle and three CP violation phases non-zero. These lastest are one CP violation phase Dirac-like and two phases Majorana-like. Also, we can test the phenomenological implications of the numerical values obtained for the mixing angles and CP violation phases, on the neutrinoless double beta decay, and in the present and upcoming experiments on long-base neutrino oscillation, such as T2K, NOvA, and DUNE.

Global fits to neutrino oscillation data are compatible with tri-bimaximal mixing pattern, which predict θ23 = π/4, [Formula: see text] and θ13 = 0. We propose here to parametrize the tri-bimaximal mixing matrix V TBM by its hermitian generator H TBM using the exponential map. Then we use the exponential map to express the deviations from tri-bimaximal pattern by deriving the hermitian matrices Hz = 0 and H1. These deviations might come from the symmetry breaking of the neutrino and charged lepton sectors.

We investigate the possibility of expressing the charged leptons and neutrino mass matrices as linear combinations of elements of a single finite group. Constraints imposed on the resulting mixing matrix by current data restrict the group types, but allow a nonzero value for the θ13 mixing angle.

The recent results from Daya Bay and RENO reactor neutrino experiments have firmly established that the smallest reactor mixing angle θ13 is nonvanishing at the 5 σ level, with a relatively large value, i.e. θ13 ≈ 9°. Using the fact that the neutrino mixing matrix can be represented as [Formula: see text], where Ul and Uν result from the diagonalization of the charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices and Pν is a diagonal matrix containing the Majorana phases and assuming the tri-bimaximal (TBM) form for Uν, we investigate the possibility of accounting for the large reactor mixing angle due to the corrections of the charged lepton mixing matrix. The form of Ul is assumed to be that of CKM mixing matrix of the quark sector. We find that with this modification it is possible to accommodate the large observed reactor mixing angle θ13. We also study the implications of such corrections on the other phenomenological observables.

The discrete subgroup Δ(27) of SU(3) has some interesting properties which may be useful for understanding charged-lepton and neutrino mass matrices. Assigning leptons to the 3 and [Formula: see text] representations of Δ(27), a simple form of the Majorana neutrino mass matrix is obtained and compared to present data.

Recently, we have proposed a quark mass matrix model based on U(3) × U(3)[Formula: see text] family symmetry, in which up- and down-quark mass matrices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are described only by complex parameters [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. When we use charged lepton masses as additional input values, we can successfully obtain predictions for quark masses and Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa mixing. Since we have only one complex parameter [Formula: see text] for each mass matrix [Formula: see text], we can obtain a parameter-independent mass relation by using three equations for [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]). In this paper, we investigate the parameter-independent feature of the quark mass relation in the model.

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 lepton and neutrino sectors to be related to the respective mass ratios. This allows us to calculate the leptonic mixing angles observed in neutrino oscillations as functions of the lightest neutrino mass. We show that for both normal and inverted hierarchical neutrino masses, this scenario does not give rise to correct leptonic mixing angles. We then show that correct leptonic mixing angles can be generated with normal hierarchical neutrino masses if the relation between mixing angle and mass ratio is restricted to 1–2 and 1–3 mixing in both charged lepton and neutrino sectors leaving the 2–3 mixing angles as free parameters. We then restrict the lightest neutrino mass as well as the difference between 2–3 mixing angles in charged lepton and neutrino sectors from the requirement of producing correct leptonic mixing angles. We constrain the lightest neutrino mass to be around 0.002 eV and leptonic Dirac CP phase [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. We also construct the leptonic mass matrices in terms of 2–3 mixing angles and lightest neutrino mass and briefly comment on the possibility of realizing texture zeros in the neutrino mass matrix.

On the basis of a seesaw-type mass matrix model for quarks and leptons, [Formula: see text] where mL∝mR are universal for f=u, d, v and e (up-quark, downquark, neutrino and charged lepton sectors respectively), and MF has a form [(unit matrix)+(democratic-type matrix)], neutrino masses and mixings are investigated. We try to understand a large vµ−vτ mixing, i.e. sin2 2θ23~1, with mv1 ≪ mv2~mv3, which has been suggested by the atmospheric neutrino data.

Assuming three light neutrinos are Majorana particles, we propose mass matrix ansatz for the charged leptons and Majorana neutrinos with family symmetry S3 broken into S1 and S2, respectively. Each matrix has three parameters, which are fixed by measured charged lepton masses, differences of squared neutrino masses relevant to the solar and the atmospheric neutrino puzzles, and the masses of three light Majorana neutrinos as a candidate for hot dark matter with ∑|mν|~ 6 eV . The resulting neutrino mixing is compatible with the data for the current upper limit, <mνe> th <0.7 eV , of neutrino-less double beta decay experiments, and the current data for various types of neutrino oscillation experiments. One solution of our model predicts that νμ→ντ oscillation probability is about < 0.008 with Δm2 ~ 10-2 eV 2, which may not be accessible at CHORUS and other on-going experiments.
