In this talk I describe a natural framework for bi-large neutrino mixing within the context of two models – 1) a simple generalization of the MSSM and 2) an SO (10) model. Our starting point is the Frampton, Glashow, Yanagida [FGY] neutrino mass ansatz which can easily accomodate bi-large neutrino mixing. The main point of FGY, however, is to obtain a theory of neutrino masses with only one possible CP violating angle. They argue that the sign of the baryon asymmetry of the universe (assuming leptogenesis) is then correlated with CP asymmetries possibly observable in accelerator experiments. Unfortunately, there is a fly in the ointment. It was later shown by Raidal and Strumia [RS] that there is a sign ambiguity which frustrates the above correlation. We note that the Raidal-Strumia ambiguity is resolved in our models.

The phenomenology of 3-neutrino mixing and of the related Dirac and Majorana leptonic CP violation is reviewed. The leptogenesis scenario of generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, which is based on the see-saw mechanism of neutrino mass generation, is considered. The results showing that the CP violation necessary for the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe in leptogenesis can be due exclusively to the Dirac and/or Majorana CP-violating phase(s) in the neutrino mixing matrix U are briefly reviewed.

The crucial phenomenological and experimental predictions for new physics are outlined, where the number of problems of the Standard Model (neutrino masses and oscillations, dark matter, baryon asymmetry of the Universe, leptonic CP-violation) could find their solutions. The analogies between the cosmological neutrino mass scale from the early universe data and laboratory probes are discussed and the search for new physics and phenomena.

We study the possibility of connecting leptonic Dirac CP phase δ, lightest neutrino mass and baryon asymmetry of the universe within the framework of a model where both type I and type II seesaw mechanisms contribute to neutrino mass. Type I seesaw gives rise to Tri-Bimaximal (TBM) type neutrino mixing whereas type II seesaw acts as a correction in order to generate nonzero θ13. We derive the most general form of type II seesaw mass matrix which cannot only give rise to correct neutrino mixing angles but also can generate nontrivial value of δ. Considering both the cases where type II seesaw is subleading and is equally dominant compared to type I seesaw, we correlate the type II seesaw term with δ and lightest neutrino mass. We further constrain the Dirac CP phase δ and hence the type II seesaw mass matrix from the requirement of producing the observed baryon asymmetry through the mechanism of leptogenesis.

The phenomenology of 3-neutrino mixing, the current status of our knowledge about the 3-neutrino mixing parameters, including the absolute neutrino mass scale, and of the Dirac and Majorana CP violation in the lepton sector, are reviewed. The problems of CP violation in neutrino oscillations and of determining the nature — Dirac or Majorana — of massive neutrinos, are discussed. The seesaw mechanism of neutrino mass generation and the related leptogenesis scenario of generation of the baryon asymmetry of the universe, are considered. The results showing that the CP violation necessary for the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the universe in leptogenesis can be due exclusively to the Dirac and/or Majorana CP-violating phase(s) in the neutrino mixing matrix U, are briefly reviewed.

Inflationary Models

We construct the neutrino mass models with non-vanishing θ13 and estimate the baryon asymmetry of the universe and subsequently derive the constraints on the inflaton mass and the reheating temperature after inflation. The great discovery of this decade, the detection of Higgs boson of mass 126 GeV and nonzero θ13, makes leptogenesis all the more exciting. Besides, the neutrino mass model is compatible with inflaton mass 1010–1013 GeV corresponding to reheating temperature TR ∼ 105–107 GeV to overcome the gravitino constraint in supersymmetry and big bang nucleosynthesis. When Daya Bay data θ13 ≈ 9° is included in the model, τ predominates over e and μ contributions, which are indeed a good sign. It is shown that neutrino mass models for a successful leptogenesis can be accommodated for a variety of inflationary models with a rather wide ranging inflationary scale.

We consider neutrinos with varying masses which arise in scenarios relating neutrino masses to the dark energy density in the universe. We point out that the neutrino mass variation can lead to level crossing and thus a cosmo MSW effect, having dramatic consequences for the flavor ratio of astrophysical neutrinos.

AbstractWe propose a non-renormalizable $$B-L$$ B - L model with $$S_{3}{\times Z_4\times Z_2}$$ S 3 × Z 4 × Z 2 symmetry which successfully accommodates the current active–sterile neutrino mixing in $$3+1$$ 3 + 1 scheme. The $$S_3$$ S 3 flavor symmetry is supplemented by $$Z_4\otimes Z_2$$ Z 4 ⊗ Z 2 symmetry to consolidate the Yukawa interaction of the model. The presence of $$S_3\otimes Z_4\otimes Z_2$$ S 3 ⊗ Z 4 ⊗ Z 2 flavour symmetry plays an important role in generating the desired structure of the neutrino mass matrix. The model can reproduce the recent observed active-neutrino neutrino oscillation data for normal ordering in which two sterile–active mixing angles $$\theta _{14, 24}$$ θ 14 , 24 get the best-fit values and the obtained values of $$\theta _{34}, \delta _{14}, \delta _{14}$$ θ 34 , δ 14 , δ 14 , the sum of neutrino mass and the effective neutrino masses are within their currently allowed ranges.

Abstract We use S4 discrete group to construct a neutrino flavour model which leads to T M1 mixing and is consistent with the neutrino oscillation data. Using the model’s constrained parameter space, we predict the values of Dirac C P phase and the light neutrino mass as −1 < sin δ < −0.9 and 1.7 < m1(meV) < 5.5 respectively. We thoroughly examine the usefulness of this model in explaining the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe. Near-maximal breaking of CP symmetry (arising due to the TM1 constraint) helps us in generating adequate baryon asymmetry through leptogenesis. We study the evolution of the asymmetry (generated due to the decay of the heavy Majorana neutrinos) starting from the primordial Universe in two different ways (i)explicitly solving network of Boltzmann equations, (ii) using approximate analytic solution and we have shown the extent of their equivalence. Nearly accurate analytical fits are used thereafter to evaluate baryon asymmetry for the whole parameter space allowed by 3σ global fit of oscillation data and to impose a constraint on the yet unbounded mass scale parameter of Dirac neutrino mass matrix. Furthermore, significant contribution of N2 decay in the context of flavoured leptogenesis is also estimated.

In view of the recent announcement on nonzero neutrino mass from Super-Kamiokande experiment, it would be very timely to investigate all the possible scenarios on masses and mixings of light neutrinos. Recently suggested mass matrix texture for the quark CKM mixing, which can be originated from the family permutation symmetry and its suitable breakings, is assumed for the neutrino mass matrix and determined by the four combinations of solar, atmospheric and LSND neutrino data and cosmological hot dark matter bound as input constraints. The charged-lepton mass matrix is assumed to be diagonal so that the neutrino mixing matrix can be identified directly as the lepton flavor mixing matrix and no CP invariance violation originates from the leptonic sector. The results favor hierarchical patterns for the neutrino masses, which follow from the case when the solar-atmospheric data is used.

With the start of the LHC, interest in electroweak scale models for the neutrino mass has grown. In this paper, we review two specific models that simultaneously explain neutrino masses and provide a suitable DM candidate. We discuss the implications of these models for various observations and experiments including the LHC, Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) rare decays, direct and indirect dark matter searches and kaon decay.
