By postulating the relation theta_{23} simeq 45^circ + etatheta_{13}, we seek preferable correction terms to tri-bi-maximal mixing and discuss their origins. Global analyses of the neutrino oscillation parameters favor eta=pm 1/sqrt{2}; this corresponds to the relation found by Edy, Frampton, and Matsuzaki some years ago in the context of a T^prime flavor symmetry. In contrast, the results of the u_mu disappearance mode reported by the T2K and Super-Kamiokande collaborations seem to prefer eta=0, which gives an almost maximal theta_{23}. We derive a general condition for ensuring theta_{23} simeq 45^circ + etatheta_{13} and find that the condition is complicated by the neutrino masses and CP violating phases. We investigate the condition under simplified environments and arrive at several correction terms to the mass matrices. It is found that the obtained correction terms can arise from flavor symmetries or one-loop radiative corrections.

In the Higgs Triplet Model and the neutrinophilic Two-Higgs-Doublet Model the observed neutrinos obtain mass from a vacuum expectation value which is much smaller than the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs boson in the Standard Model. Both models contain a singly charged Higgs boson (H^-) whose Yukawa coupling is directly related to the neutrino mass (i.e. a neutrinophilic charged Higgs). The partial decay widths of H^- into a charged lepton and a neutrino (H^- to l^- nu) depend identically on the neutrino masses and mixings in the two models. We quantify the impact of the recent measurement of sin^2(2theta_{13}), which plays a crucial role in determining the magnitude of the branching ratio of H^- to e^- nu for the case of a normal neutrino mass ordering if the lightest neutrino mass m_0 < 10^{-3} eV. We also discuss the sizeable dependence of H^- to mu^- nu and H^- to tau^- nu on sin^2(theta_{23}), which would enable information to be obtained on sin^2(theta_{23}) and the sign of Delta m^2_{31} if these decays are measured. Such information would help neutrino oscillation experiments to determine the CP-violating phase delta.
Among all neutrino mixing parameters, the atmospheric neutrino mixing angle theta_{23} introduces the strongest variation on the flux ratios of ultra high energy neutrinos. We investigate the potential of these flux ratio measurements at neutrino telescopes to constrain theta_{23}. We consider astrophysical neutrinos originating from pion, muon-damped and neutron sources and make a comparative study of their sensitivity reach to theta_{23}. It is found that neutron sources are most favorable for testing deviations from maximal theta_{23}. Using a chi^2 analysis, we show in particular the power of combining (i) different flux ratios from the same type of source, and also (ii) combining flux ratios from different astrophysical sources. We include in our analysis ``impure sources, i.e., deviations from the usually assumed initial (1 : 2 : 0), (0 : 1 : 0) or (1 : 0 : 0) flux compositions.
We investigate the prospects for determining the octant of $theta_{23}$ in the future long baseline oscillation experiments. We present our results as contour plots on the ($theta_{23}-45^circ$, $delta$)--plane, where $delta$ is the CP phase, showing the true values of $theta_{23}$ for which the octant can be experimentally determined at 3$,sigma$, 2$,sigma$ and 1$,sigma$ confidence level, in particular, the impact of the non-unitarity of neutrino mixing.
We propose an extension of tri-bimaximal mixing to include a non-zero reactor angle $theta_{13}$ while maintaining the tri-bimaximal predictions for the atmospheric angle $theta_{23}=45^o$ and solar angle $theta_{12}=35^o$. We show how such tri-bimaximal-reactor mixing can arise at leading order from the(type I) see-saw mechanism with partially constrained sequential dominance. Partially constrained sequential dominance can be realized in GUT models with a non-Abelian discrete family symmetry, such as $A_4$, spontaneously broken by flavons with a particular vacuum alignment.
We study the lepton flavor models with the flavor symmetry (Z_N times Z_N times Z_N)rtimes Z_3. Our models predict non-vanishing discrete values of theta_{13} as well as theta_{12} and theta_{23} depending on N. For certain values, our models realize the tri-bimaximal mixing angles with theta_{13}=0. For other values, our models provide with discrete deviation from the tri-bimaximal mixing angles.
