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.

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 present a review of neutrino phenomenology in the minimal seesaw model (MSM), an economical and intriguing extension of the Standard Model with only two heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos. Given current neutrino oscillation data, the MSM can predict the neutrino mass spectrum and constrain the effective masses of the tritium beta decay and the neutrinoless double-beta decay. We outline five distinct schemes to parameterize the neutrino Yukawa-coupling matrix of the MSM. The lepton flavor mixing and baryogenesis via leptogenesis are investigated in some detail by taking account of possible texture zeros of the Dirac neutrino mass matrix. We derive an upper bound on the CP-violating asymmetry in the decay of the lighter right-handed Majorana neutrino. The effects of the renormalization-group evolution on the neutrino mixing parameters are analyzed, and the correlation between the CP-violating phenomena at low and high energies is highlighted. We show that the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe can naturally be interpreted through the resonant leptogenesis mechanism at the TeV scale. The lepton-flavor-violating rare decays, such as μ→e+γ, are also discussed in the supersymmetric extension of the MSM.

We obtain analytical formulas which connect the neutrino masses and the leptonic mixing matrix with the entries in the mass matrix for the approximation in which the charged lepton mixing matrix is the unit matrix. We also extract the CP violation phase and determine the conditions in which this is present.

It is important to measure Ue3 in the lepton flavor mixing matrix in order to understand the structure of Majorana neutrino mass matrix. Recently it is conjectured that the measurement of Ue3 would discriminate one solution among various solar neutrino ones provided that the three mass eigenvalues of neutrinos have the relation m1≪m2≪m3 or m1~m2≪m3. In this letter we show that this conjecture is rather restrictive and the relation [Formula: see text] is derived by a nontrivial assumption and Ue3 cannot discriminate among solar neutrino oscillation solutions without the information on another physical parameter.

We present an overview of recent progress in the phenomenological study of neutrino masses, lepton flavor mixing and CP violation. We concentrate on the model-independent properties of massive neutrinos, both in vacuum and in matter. Current experimental constraints on the neutrino mass spectrum and the lepton flavor mixing parameters are summarized. The Dirac- and Majorana-like phases of CP violation, which are associated respectively with the long-baseline neutrino oscillations and the neutrinoless double beta decay, are discussed in detail. The seesaw mechanism, the leptogenesis scenario and the strategies to construct lepton mass matrices are briefly described. The features of flavor mixing between one sterile neutrino and three active neutrinos are also explored.

We show that the neutrino mass matrix of the Zee-Babu model isable to fit the recent data on neutrino masses and mixingwith non-zero $\theta_{13}$ in the inverted neutrino mass hierarchy. The results show that the Majorana  phases are equal to zero and the Dirac phase ($\de$) ispredicted to either $0$ or $\pi$, i. e, there is no CP violation in the Zee-Babu model at the two loop level. The effective mass governingneutrinoless double beta decay and the sum of neutrino masses areconsistent with the recent analysis.

Abstract We propose a leptoquark model with two scalar leptoquarks $$ {S}_1\left(\overline{3},1,\frac{1}{3}\right) $$ S 1 3 ¯ 1 1 3 and $$ {\tilde{R}}_2\left(3,2,\frac{1}{6}\right) $$ R ˜ 2 3 2 1 6 to give a combined explanation of neutrino masses, lepton flavor mixing and the anomaly of muon g − 2, satisfying the constraints from the radiative decays of charged leptons. The neutrino masses are generated via one-loop corrections resulting from a mixing between S1 and $$ {\tilde{R}}_2 $$ R ˜ 2 . With a set of specific textures for the leptoquark Yukawa coupling matrices, the neutrino mass matrix possesses an approximate μ-τ reflection symmetry with (Mν)ee = 0 only in favor of the normal neutrino mass ordering. We show that this model can successfully explain the anomaly of muon g − 2 and current experimental neutrino oscillation data under the constraints from the radiative decays of charged leptons.

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.

Asymmetric tri-bi-maximal mixing is a recently proposed, grand unified theory (GUT) based, flavor mixing scheme. In it, the charged lepton mixing is fixed by the GUT connection to down-type quarks and a [Formula: see text] flavor symmetry, while neutrino mixing is assumed to be tri-bi-maximal (TBM) with one additional free phase. Here we show that this additional free phase can be fixed by the residual flavor and CP symmetries of the effective neutrino mass matrix. We discuss how those residual symmetries can be unified with [Formula: see text] and identify the smallest possible unified flavor symmetries, namely [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Sharp predictions are obtained for lepton mixing angles, CP violating phases and neutrinoless double beta decay.

Leptonic CP violating phase δ CP in the light neutrino sector and leptogenesis via present matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe entails each other. Probing CP violation in light neutrino oscillation is one of the challenging tasks today. The reactor mixing angle θ 13 measured in reactor experiments, LBL, and DUNE with high precision in neutrino experiments indicates towards the vast dimensions of scope to detect δ CP . The correlation between leptonic Dirac CPV phase δ CP , reactor mixing angle θ 13 , lightest neutrino mass m 1 , and matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe within the framework of μ − τ symmetry breaking assuming the type I seesaw dominance is extensively studied here. Here, a SO(10) GUT model with flavor μ − τ symmetry is considered. In this work, the idea is to link baryogenesis through leptogenesis and the hint of CP violation in the neutrino oscillation data to a breaking of the mu-tau symmetry. Small tiny breaking of the μ − τ symmetry allows a large Dirac CP violating phase in neutrino oscillation which in turn is characterized by awareness of measured value of θ 13 and to provide a hint towards a better understanding of the experimentally observed near-maximal value of ν μ − ν τ mixing angle θ 23 ≃ π / 4 . Precise breaking of the μ − τ symmetry is achieved by adding a 120-plet Higgs to the 10 + 1 2 ¯ 6 -dimensional representation of Higgs. The estimated three-dimensional density parameter space of the lightest neutrino mass m 1 , δ CP , and reactor mixing angle θ 13 is constrained here for the requirement of producing the observed value of baryon asymmetry of the Universe through the mechanism of leptogenesis. Carrying out numerical analysis, the allowed parameter space of m 1 , δ CP , and θ 13 is found out which can produce the observed baryon to photon density ratio of the Universe.
