Using the residual symmetry approach, we propose a complex extension of the scaling ansatz on $M_ u$ which allows a nonzero mass for each of the three light neutrinos as well as a nonvanishing $theta_{13}$. Leptonic Dirac CP violation must be maximal while atmospheric neutrino mixing need not to be exactly maximal. Each of the two Majorana phases, to be probed by the search for $0 u betabeta$ decay, has to be zero or $pi$ and a normal neutrino mass hierarchy is allowed.

The residual symmetry approach, along with a complex extension for some flavor invariance, is a powerful tool to uncover the flavor structure of the $3times3$ neutrino Majorana mass matrix $M_ u$ towards gaining insights into neutrino mixing. We util ize this to propose a complex extension of the real scaling ansatz for $M_ u$ which was introduced some years ago. Unlike the latter, our proposal allows a nonzero mass for each of the three light neutrinos as well as a nonvanishing $theta_{13}$. A major result of this scheme is that leptonic Dirac CP-violation must be maximal while atmospheric neutrino mixing need not be exactly maximal. Moreover, each of the two allowed Majorana phases, to be probed by the search for nuclear $0 u betabeta$ decay, has to be at one of its two CP-conserving values. There are other interesting consequences such as the allowed occurrence of a normal mass ordering which is not favored by the real scaling ansatz. Our predictions will be tested in ongoing and future neutrino oscillation experiments at T2K, NO$ u$A and DUNE.
Baryogenesis via leptogenesis is investigated in a specific model of light neutrino masses and mixing angles. The latter was proposed on the basis of an assumed complex-extended scaling property of the neutrino Majorana mass matrix $M_ u$, derived wi th a type-1 seesaw from a Dirac mass matrix $m_D$ and a heavy singlet neutrino Majorana mass matrix $M_R$. One of its important features, highlighted here, is that there is a common source of the origin of a nonzero $theta_{13}$ and the CP violating lepton asymmetry through the imaginary part of $m_D$. The model predicted CP violation to be maximal for the Dirac type and vanishing for the Majorana type. We assume strongly hierarchical mass eigenvalues for $M_R$. The leptonic CP asymmetry parameter $varepsilon^alpha_{1}hspace{1mm}$ with lepton flavor $alpha$, originating from the decays of the lightest of the heavy neutrinos $N_1$ (of mass $M_1$) at a temperature $Tsim M_1$, is what matters here with $varepsilon^alpha_{2,3}$, originating from the decays of $N_{2,3}$, being washed out. The light leptonic and heavy neutrino number densities (normalized to the entropy density) are evolved via Boltzmann equations down to electroweak temperatures to yield a baryon asymmetry through sphaleronic transitions. The effect of flavored vs. unflavored leptogenesis in the three mass regimes (1) $M_1<10^{9}$ GeV, (2) $10^9$ GeV $<M_1<$ $10^{12}$ GeV and (3) $M_1>10^{12}$ GeV are numerically worked out for both a normal and an inverted mass ordering of the light neutrinos. Corresponding results on the baryon asymmetry of the universe are obtained, displayed and discussed.
The recent enormous improvement of our knowledge of the neutrino oscillation parameters has motivated us to reinvestigate the allowed ranges of the elements of the neutrino mass matrix in the basis where the charged-lepton mass mass matrix is diagona l. Moreover, we have studied the correlations of the elements of the neutrino mass matrix. The result of this analysis is useful for finding textures in the neutrino mass matrix and, therefore, for model building in the lepton sector. As an example, we present two textures of the neutrino mass matrix which have only two parameters and fit very well all current experimental data on the neutrino parameters.
A new idea for neutrino mass was proposed recently, where its smallness is not due to the seesaw mechanism, i.e. not inversely proportional to some large mass scale. It comes from a one-loop mechanism with dark matter in the loop consisting of single t Majorana fermions $N_i$ with masses of order 10 keV and neutrino masses are scaled down from them by factors of about $10^{-5}$. We discuss how this model may be implemented with the non-Abelian discrete symmetry $A_4$ for neutrino mixing, and consider the phenomenology of $N_i$ as well as the extra scalar doublet $(eta^+,eta^0)$.
We analyze the different parametrizations of a general four-zero texture mass matrices for quarks and leptons, that are able to reproduce the CKM and PMNS mixing matrices. This study is done through a Chi-Square analysis. In quark sector, only four s olutions are found to be compatible with CKM mixing matrix. In leptonic sector, using the last experimental results about the mixing angles in the neutrino sector, our Chi-Square analysis shows a preferred value for m_nu_3 to be around 0.05 eV independently of the parametrization of the four-zero texture mass matrices chosen for the charged leptons and neutrinos.
