A brief review is given of some ideas for explaining neutrino masses and mixings within the context of supersymmetric grand unification. Emphasis is put on so-called lopsided models.

An overview of neutrino models is presented with special emphasis on models with right-handed neutrinos which involve unifications of flavors and/or families. Some comments are made about the ease with which the various solar neutrino mixing scenarios can be obtained.

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.

We review the present understanding of neutrino masses and mixings, discussing what are the unknowns in the three-family oscillation scenario. Despite the anticipated success coming from the planned long baseline neutrino experiments in unraveling the leptonic mixing sector, there are two important unknowns which may remain obscure: the mixing angle θ13 and the CP-phase δ. The measurement of these two parameters has led us to consider the combination of superbeams and neutrino factories as the key to unveil the neutrino oscillation picture.

This chapter discusses the search for and eventual discovery of the masses of neutrinos. It explains that observability of neutrino mass depends on neutrino flavor mixing. It introduces the PMNS matrix describing neutrino mixing and describes the experimental determination of the parameters of this matrix.

Abstract The unitarity of the lepton mixing matrix is a critical assumption underlying the standard neutrino-mixing paradigm. However, many models seeking to explain the as-yet-unknown origin of neutrino masses predict deviations from unitarity in the mixing of the active neutrino states. Motivated by the prospect that future experiments may provide a precise measurement of the lepton mixing matrix, we revisit current constraints on unitarity violation from oscillation measurements and project how next-generation experiments will improve our current knowledge. With the next-generation data, the normalizations of all rows and columns of the lepton mixing matrix will be constrained to ≲10% precision, with the e-row best measured at ≲1% and the τ-row worst measured at ∼10% precision. The measurements of the mixing matrix elements themselves will be improved on average by a factor of 3. We highlight the complementarity of DUNE, T2HK, JUNO, and IceCube Upgrade for these improvements, as well as the importance of ντ appearance measurements and sterile neutrino searches for tests of leptonic unitarity.

We review the problem of neutrino masses and mixings in the context of grand unified theories. After a brief summary of the present experimental status of neutrino physics, we describe how the see-saw mechanism can automatically account for the large atmospheric mixing angle. We provide two specific examples where this possibility is realized by means of a flavor symmetry. We then review in some detail the various severe problems which plague minimal GUT models (like the doublet–triplet splitting and proton-decay) and which force us to investigate the possibility of constructing more elaborate but realistic models. We then show an example of a quasirealistic SUSY SU(5) model which, by exploiting the crucial presence of an Abelian flavor symmetry, does not require any fine-tuning and predicts a satisfactory phenomenology with respect to coupling unification, fermion masses and mixings and bounds from proton decay.
