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.

Majorana Neutrino Mass

We demonstrate that an SU (2)L× U (1)Y model with the same particle content as Standard Model (SM) and discrete reflection symmetry between second and third generations of leptons gives rise to charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices which can accommodate the present solar, atmospheric, WMAP neutrino experimental results. The model predicts the value of |U13| which could be tested in neutrino factories and the effective Majorana neutrino mass <mee> which is at the lower end of the present experimental value. Neutrino masses are generated through dim=5 operators and the scale of which are constrained by the value of <mee>. If, in future neutrinoless double beta decay experiments namely, MOON, EXO, GENIUS shift the lower bound on <mee> by one order, the present model will fail to accommodate the solar neutrino mixing angle due to LMA solution.

Majorana Neutrino Mass

An attempt is made to generate the bimaximal mixings of the three species of neutrinos from the textures of the right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrices. We extend our earlier work in this paper for the generation of the nearly degenerate as well as the inverted hierarchical models of the left-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrices using the non-diagonal textures of the right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrices and the diagonal form of Dirac neutrino mass matrices, within the framework of the see-saw mechanism in a model independent way. Such Majorana neutrino mass models are important in explaining the recently reported result on the neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) experiment, together with the earlier established data on LMA MSW solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillations.

Majorana Neutrino Mass

We study the origin of neutrino masses and mixing angles which can accommodate the LMA MSW solutions of the solar neutrino anomaly as well as the solution of the atmospheric neutrino problem, within the framework of the see-saw mechanism. We employ the diagonal form of the Dirac neutrino mass matrices with the physical masses as diagonal elements in the hierarchical order. Such a choice has been motivated from the fact that the known CKM angles for the quark sector, are relatively small. We consider both possibilities where the Dirac neutrino mass matrix is either the charged lepton or the up-quark mass matrix within the framework of SO(10) GUT with or without supersymmetry. The nonzero texture of the right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrix M R is used for the generation of the desired bimaximal mixings in a model independent way. Both hierarchical and inverted hierarchical models of the left-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrices are generated and then discussed with examples. The see-saw mass scale which is kept as a free parameter, is predicted in all the examples.

Majorana Neutrino Mass

We have studied the most general neutrino mass matrices in models with SU(2) and SU(3) horizontal symmetries. Without going into the details of the models it is possible to write down the effective operators, which predict the structure of the Majorana neutrino mass matrices. Unlike other extensions of the standard model, the structure is now independent of the effective Yukawa couplings and depends entirely on the Higgs which gives mass to the other fermions. In the case of SU(3) symmetries the lowest dimensional operators are forbidden requiring a low mass scale for lepton number violation.
