In this paper, we obtain the light neutrino masses and mixings consistent with the experiments, in the democratic texture approach. The essential ansatz is that $ u_{Ri}$ are assumed to transform as right-handed fields $bf 2_{R} + 1_{R}$ under the $S_{3L} times S_{3R}$ symmetry. The symmetry breaking terms are assumed to be diagonal and hierarchical. This setup only allows the normal hierarchy of the neutrino mass, and excludes both of inverted hierarchical and degenerated neutrinos. Although the neutrino sector has nine free parameters, several predictions are obtained at the leading order. When we neglect the smallest parameters $zeta_{ u}$ and $zeta_{R}$, all components of the mixing matrix $U_{rm PMNS}$ are expressed by the masses of light neutrinos and charged leptons. From the consistency between predicted and observed $U_{rm PMNS}$, we obtain the lightest neutrino masses $m_{1}$ = (1.1 $to$ 1.4) meV, and the effective mass for the double beta decay $vev{m_{ee}} simeq$ 4.5 meV.

In this work we analyze the corrections to tribimaximal (TBM), bimaximal (BM) and democratic (DC) mixing matrices for explaining large reactor mixing angle $theta_{13}$ and checking the consistency with other neutrino mixing angles. The corrections a re parameterized in terms of small orthogonal rotations (R) with corresponding modified PMNS matrix of the form $R_{ij}cdot U cdot R_{kl}$ where $R_{ij}$ is rotation in ij sector and U is any one of these special matrices. We showed the rotations $R_{13}cdot U cdot R_{23}$, $R_{12}cdot U cdot R_{13}$ for BM and $R_{13}cdot U cdot R_{13}$ for TBM perturbative case successfully fit all neutrino mixing angles within $1sigma$ range. The perturbed PMNS matrix $R_{12}cdot U cdot R_{13}$ for DC, TBM and $R_{23}cdot U cdot R_{23}$ for TBM case is successful in producing mixing angles at 2$sigma$ level. The other rotation schemes are either excluded or successful in producing mixing angles at $3sigma$ level.
It is well known that Majorana neutrinos have a pure axial neutral current interaction while Dirac neutrinos have the standard vector-axial interaction. In spite of this crucial difference, usually Dirac neutrino processes differ from Majorana proces ses by a term proportional to the neutrino mass, resulting in almost unmeasurable observations of this difference. In the present work we show that once the neutrino polarization evolution is considered, there are clear differences between Dirac and Majorana scattering on electrons. The change of polarization can be achieved in astrophysical environments with strong magnetic fields. Furthermore, we show that in the case of unpolarized neutrino scattering onto polarized electrons, this difference can be relevant even for large values of the neutrino energy.

Inspired by the recent T2K indication of a relatively large theta_{13}, we provide a systematic study of some general modifications to three mostly discussed neutrino mixing patterns, i.e., tri-bimaximal, bimaximal and democratic mixing matrices. The correlation between theta_{13} and two large mixing angles are provided according to each modifications. The phenomenological predictions of theta_{12} and theta_{23} are also discussed. After the exclusion of several minimal modifications, we still have reasonable predictions of three mixing angles in 3 Sigma level for other scenarios.
We provide theoretical evidence that the neutrino is a Majorana fermion. This evidence comes from assuming that the standard model and beyond-standard-model physics can be described through division algebras, coupled to a quantum dynamics. We use the division algebras scheme to derive mass ratios for the standard model charged fermions of three generations. The predicted ratios agree well with the observed values if the neutrino is assumed to be Majorana. However, the theoretically calculated ratios completely disagree with known values if the neutrino is taken to be a Dirac particle. Towards the end of the article we discuss prospects for unification of the standard model with gravitation if the assumed symmetry group of the theory is $E_6$, and if it is assumed that space-time is an 8D octonionic space-time, with 4D Minkowski space-time being an emergent approximation. Remarkably, we find evidence that the precursor of classical gravitation, described by the symmetry $SU(3)_{grav} times SU(2)_R times U(1)_{grav}$ is the right-handed counterpart of the standard model $SU(3)_{color} times SU(2)_L times U(1)_Y$.

The Majorana neutrino $psi_{M}(x)$ when constructed as a superposition of chiral fermions such as $ u_{L} + Coverline{ u_{L}}^{T}$ is characterized by $ ({cal C}{cal P}) psi_{M}(x)({cal C}{cal P})^{dagger} =igamma^{0}psi_{M}(t,-vec{x})$, and the CP s ymmetry describes the entire physics contents of Majorana neutrinos. Further specifications of C and P separately could lead to difficulties depending on the choice of C and P. The conventional $ {cal C} psi_{M}(x) {cal C}^{dagger} = psi_{M}(x)$ with well-defined P is naturally defined when one constructs the Majorana neutrino from the Dirac-type fermion. In the seesaw model of Type I or Type I+II where the same number of left- and right-handed chiral fermions appear, it is possible to use the generalized Pauli-Gursey transformation to rewrite the seesaw Lagrangian in terms of Dirac-type fermions only; the conventional C symmetry then works to define Majorana neutrinos. In contrast, the pseudo C-symmetry $ u_{L,R}(x)rightarrow Coverline{ u_{L,R}(x)}^{T}$ (and associated pseudo P-symmetry), that has been often used in both the seesaw model and Weinbergs model to describe Majorana neutrinos, attempts to assign a nontrivial charge conjugation transformation rule to each chiral fermion separately. But this common construction is known to be operatorially ill-defined and, for example, the amplitude of the neutrinoless double beta decay vanishes if the vacuum is assumed to be invariant under the pseudo C-symmetry.
