We identify a class of $U(1)_X$ models which can explain the $R_K$ anomaly and the neutrino mixing pattern, by using a bottom-up approach. The different $X$-charges of lepton generations account for the lepton universality violation required to explain $R_K$. In addition to the three right-handed neutrinos needed for the Type-I seesaw mechanism, these minimal models only introduce an additional doublet Higgs and a singlet scalar. While the former helps in reproducing the quark mixing structure, the latter gives masses to neutrinos and the new gauge boson $Z^prime$. Our bottom-up approach determines the $X$-charges of all particles using theoretical consistency and experimental constraints. We find the parameter space allowed by the constraints from neutral meson mixing, rare $bto s$ decays and direct collider searches for $Z^prime$. Such a $Z^prime$ may be observable at the ongoing run of the Large Hadron Collider with a few hundred fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity.

We present a class of minimal $U(1)_X$ models as a plausible solution to the $R_K$ anomaly that can also help reproduce the neutrino mixing pattern. The symmetries and the corresponding $X$-charges of the fields are determined in a bottom-up approach demanding both theoretical and experimental consistencies. The breaking of $U(1)_X$ symmetry results in a massive $Z^{prime}$, whose couplings with leptons and quarks are necessarily non-universal to address the $R_K$ anomaly. In the process, an additional Higgs doublet is introduced to generate quark mixings. The mixings in the neutrino sector are generated through Type-I seesaw mechanism by the addition of three right handed neutrinos and a scalar singlet. The $Z^{prime}$ can be probed with a few hundred fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity at the 13 TeV LHC in the di-muon channel.
We first obtain the most general and compact parametrization of the unitary transformation diagonalizing any 3 by 3 hermitian matrix H, as a function of its elements and eigenvalues. We then study a special class of fermion mass matrices, defined by the requirement that all of the diagonalizing unitary matrices (in the up, down, charged lepton and neutrino sectors) contain at least one mixing angle much smaller than the other two. Our new parametrization allows us to quickly extract information on the patterns and predictions emerging from this scheme. In particular we find that the phase difference between two elements of the two mass matrices (of the sector in question) controls the generic size of one of the observable fermion mixing angles: i.e. just fixing that particular phase difference will predict the generic value of one of the mixing angles, irrespective of the value of anything else.
We analyze the class of models with an extra $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry that can account for the $b to s ell ell$ anomalies by modifying the Wilson coefficients $C_{9e}$ and $C_{9mu}$ from their standard model values. At the same time, these models gene rate appropriate quark mixing, and give rise to neutrino mixing via the Type-I seesaw mechanism. Apart from the gauge boson $Z$, these frugal models only have three right-handed neutrinos for the seesaw mechanism, an additional $SU(2)_L$ scalar doublet for quark mixing, and a SM-singlet scalar that breaks the $U(1)_X$ symmetry. This set-up identifies a class of leptonic symmetries, and necessitates non-zero but equal charges for the first two quark generations. If the quark mixing beyond the standard model were CKM-like, all these symmetries would be ruled out by the latest flavor constraints on Wilson coefficients and collider constraints on $Z$ parameters. However, we identify a single-parameter source of non-minimal flavor violation that allows a wider class of $U(1)_X$ symmetries to be compatible with all data. We show that the viable leptonic symmetries have to be of the form $L_e pm 3 L_mu - L_tau$ or $L_e - 3 L_mu + L_tau$, and determine the $(M_{Z^prime}, g_{Z^prime})$ parameter space that may be probed by the high-luminosity data at the LHC.
We consider an anomaly-free $mathrm{U}(1)$ extension of the Standard Model with three right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) and two complex scalars, wherein the charge assignments preclude all tree-level mass terms for the neutrinos. Considering this setup, in turn, to be only a low-energy effective theory, we introduce higher-dimensional terms {em a la} Froggatt-Nielsen to naturally generate tiny neutrino masses. One of the RHNs turns out to be very light, thereby constituting the main decay mode for the $Z$ and hence relaxing the LHC dilepton resonance search constraints. This very RHN has a lifetime comparable to or bigger than the age of the Universe, and, hence, could account for a non-negligible fraction of the dark matter.

Motivated by the flavored Peccei-Quinn symmetry for unifying the flavor physics and string theory, we construct an explicit model by introducing a $U(1)$ symmetry such that the $U(1)_X$-$[gravity]^2$ anomaly-free condition together with the standard model flavor structure demands additional sterile neutrinos as well as no axionic domain-wall problem. Such additional sterile neutrinos play the role of a realization of baryogenesis via a new Affleck-Dine leptogenesis. We provide grounds for that the $U(1)_X$ symmetry could be interpreted as a fundamental symmetry of nature. The model will resolve rather recent, but fast-growing issues in astro-particle physics, including leptonic mixings and CP violation in neutrino oscillation, high-energy neutrinos, QCD axion, and axion cooling of stars. The QCD axion decay constant, through its connection to the astrophysical constraints of stellar evolution and the SM fermion masses, is shown to be fixed at $F_A=1.30^{+0.66}_{-0.54}times10^{9}$ GeV (consequently, its mass is $m_a=4.34^{+3.37}_{-1.49}$ meV and axion-photon coupling is $|g_{agammagamma}|=1.30^{+1.01}_{-0.45}times10^{-12},{rm GeV}^{-1}$). Interestingly enough, we show that neutrino oscillations at low energies could be connected to astronomical-scale baseline neutrino oscillations. The model predicts non-observational neutrinoless double beta ($0 ubetabeta$) decay rate as well as a remarkable pattern between leptonic Dirac CP phase ($delta_{CP}$) and atmospheric mixing angle ($theta_{23}$); {it e.g.} $delta_{CP}simeq220^{circ}-240^{circ}$, $120^{circ}-140^{circ}$ for $theta_{23}=42.3^{circ}$ for normal mass ordering, and $delta_{CP}simeq283^{circ},250^{circ},100^{circ},70^{circ}$ for $theta_{23}=49.5^{circ}$ for inverted one.
