In this paper, we study all possible neutrino mass matrices with one zero element and two equal nonzero elements, known as hybrid texture neutrino mass matrices. In the diagonal charged lepton basis, we consider 39 such possible cases which are consistent with the latest neutrino data. Using the two constraints on neutrino mass matrix elements imposed by hybrid textures, we numerically evaluate the neutrino parameters like the lightest neutrino mass [Formula: see text], one Dirac CP phase [Formula: see text] and two Majorana CP phases [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] by using the global fit [Formula: see text] values of three mixing angles and two mass squared differences. We then constrain this parameter space by using the cosmological upper bound on the sum of absolute neutrino masses given by Planck experiment. We also calculate the effective neutrino mass [Formula: see text] for this region of parameter space which can have relevance in future neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. We finally discriminate between these hybrid texture mass matrices from the requirement of producing correct baryon asymmetry through type I seesaw leptogenesis. We also constrain the light neutrino parameter space as well as the lightest right-handed neutrino mass from the constraint on baryon asymmetry of the Universe from Planck experiment.

In this paper, we study the phenomenological implications of enforcing one texture zero on the inverse matrix of the neutrino mass matrix [Formula: see text] that can lead to the trimaximal mixing. It is found that the condition of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] can hold in the case of normal neutrino mass ordering, while the condition of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] can hold in the case of inverted neutrino mass ordering, where [Formula: see text] (for [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) denotes the [Formula: see text] entry of the inverse matrix of [Formula: see text]. The ranges of the absolute neutrino mass scale and three CP phases for these cases to hold are studied in some detail. The implications of these cases for the effective neutrino mass [Formula: see text] which controls the rates of the neutrino-less double beta decay processes are also given.

The consequences of a texture zero at the ee entry of neutrino mass matrix in the flavor basis, which also implies a vanishing effective Majorana mass for neutrinoless double beta decay, have been studied for Majorana neutrinos. The neutrino parameter space under this condition has been constrained in the light of all available neutrino data including the CHOOZ bound on [Formula: see text].

We obtain the complete list of the possible textures of four zero Dirac neutrino mass matrix [Formula: see text] in the seesaw mechanism providing these four flavor neutrino textures. Explicit analytical analysis of [Formula: see text] turns out to provide the relation of [Formula: see text].

In our work, we study the texture zeros of [Formula: see text] in the minimal extended type-I seesaw (MES) with incorporating one extra gauge singlet field “[Formula: see text]”. The MES models deal with the Dirac neutrino mass matrix [Formula: see text], the right-handed Majorana mass matrix [Formula: see text] and the sterile neutrino mass matrix [Formula: see text]. We carry out the mapping of all possible zero textures of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for phenomenologically predictive cases having total eight zeros of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] studied in the literature. With this motivation, we consider (a) [Formula: see text] scheme, (b) [Formula: see text] scheme and (c) [Formula: see text] scheme, where the digits of a pair represent the number of zeros of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively along with the one zero and two zero textures of [Formula: see text]. There are a large number of possibilities of zeros of fermion mass matrices but the implementation of [Formula: see text] transformations reduces it to a very minimum number of basic structures. Interestingly out of four allowed one zero textures of [Formula: see text] without sterile neutrino, only three cases ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) are allowed in MES mechanism for the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] schemes. We find some correlations for different combination of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] on enforcement of zeros. We examined all the correlations under the recent neutrino oscillation data and find that only [Formula: see text] survives while both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are ruled out. Interestingly the one zero textures inherently represent the inverted hierarchy of the mass ordering of light neutrinos. No two zero textures of [Formula: see text] survive in MES although there are a number of allowed structures phenomenologically. The allowed texture zeros are finally realized using a discrete Abelian flavor symmetry group [Formula: see text] with the extension of standard model to include some scalar fields.

Recent experiments indicate a departure from the exact tri-bimaximal mixing by measure ring definitive nonzero value of θ13. Within the framework of type I seesaw mechanism, we reconstruct the triangular Dirac neutrino mass matrix from the μ - τ symmetric mass matrix. The deviation from μ - τ symmetry is then parametrized by adding dimensionless parameters yi in the triangular mass matrix. In this parametrization of the neutrino mass matrix, the nonzero value θ13 is controlled by Δy = y4 - y6. We also calculate the resulting leptogenesis and show that the triangular texture can generate the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe via leptogenesis scenario.

We study the existence of one/two texture zeros or one/two vanishing minors in the neutrino mass matrix with μτ symmetry. In the basis where the charged lepton mass matrix and the Dirac neutrino mass matrix are diagonal, the one/two zeros or one/two vanishing minors on the right-handed Majorana mass matrix having μτ symmetry will propagate via seesaw mechanism as one/two vanishing minors or one/two texture zeros in the neutrino mass matrix with μτ symmetry respectively. It is found that only five such texture structures of the neutrino mass matrix are phenomenologically viable. For tribimaximal mixing, these texture structures reduce the number of free parameters to one. Interesting predictions are obtained for the effective Majorana mass Mee, the absolute mass scale and the Majorana-type CP violating phases.

We discuss the possible origin of nonzero reactor mixing angle θ13 and Dirac CP phase δ CP in the leptonic sector from a combination of type I and type II seesaw mechanisms. Type I seesaw contribution to neutrino mass matrix is of tri-bimaximal (TBM) type which gives rise to vanishing θ13 leaving the Dirac CP phase undetermined. If the Dirac neutrino mass matrix is assumed to take the diagonal charged lepton (CL) type structure, such a TBM type neutrino mass matrix originating from type I seesaw corresponds to real values of Dirac Yukawa couplings in the terms [Formula: see text]. This makes the process of right-handed heavy neutrino decay into a light neutrino and Higgs (N → νH) CP preserving ruling out the possibility of leptogenesis. Here we consider the type II seesaw term as the common origin of nonzero θ13 and δ CP by taking it as a perturbation to the leading order TBM type neutrino mass matrix. First, we numerically fit the type I seesaw term by taking oscillation as well as cosmology data and then compute the predictions for neutrino parameters after the type II seesaw term is introduced. We consider a minimal structure of the type II seesaw term and check whether the predictions for neutrino parameters lie in the 3σ range. We also compute the predictions for baryon asymmetry of the universe by considering type II seesaw term as the only source of CP violation and compare it with the latest cosmology data.

We construct a neutrino mass matrix Mν via a seesaw mechanism with perturbed invariant under a cyclic permutation by introducing a parameter δ into the diagonal elements of Mν with the assumption that trace of the perturbed Mν is equal to trace of the unperturbed Mν. We found that the perturbed neutrino mass matrices Mν can predict the mass-squared difference [Formula: see text] with the possible hierarchy of neutrino mass is normal or inverted hierarchy. By using the advantages of the mass-squared differences and mixing parameters data from neutrino oscillation experiments, we then have neutrino masses in inverted hierarchy with masses: |m1| = 0.101023 eV , |m2| = 0.101428 eV and |m3| = 0.084413 eV .
