We propose a hybrid seesaw model based on $A_{4}$ flavor symmetry, which generates a large hierarchical flavor structure. In our model, tree-level and one-loop seesaw mechanisms predict different flavor structures in the neutrino mass matrix, and generate a notable hierarchy among them. We find that such a hierarchical structure gives a large effective neutrino mass which can be accessible by next-generation neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. Majorana phases can also be predictable. The $A_{4}$ flavor symmetry in the model is spontaneously broken to the $Z_{2}$ symmetry, leading to a dark matter candidate which is assumed to be a neutral scalar field. The favored mass region of the dark matter is obtained by numerical computations of the relic abundance and the cross section of the nucleon. We also investigate the predictions of the several hierarchical flavor structures based on $A_{4}$ symmetry for the effective neutrino mass and the Majorana phases, and find the characteristic features depending on the hierarchical structures.

We construct a low-scale seesaw model to generate the masses of active neutrinos based on $S_4$ flavor symmetry supplemented by the $Z_2 times Z_3 times Z_4 times Z_{14}times U(1)_L$ group, capable of reproducing the low energy Standard model (SM) fe rmion flavor data. The masses of the SM fermions and the fermionic mixings parameters are generated from a Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism after the spontaneous breaking of the $S_4times Z_2 times Z_3 times Z_4 times Z_{14}times U(1)_L$ group. The obtained values for the physical observables of the quark and lepton sectors are in good agreement with the most recent experimental data. The leptonic Dirac CP violating phase $de _{CP}$ is predicted to be $259.579^circ$ and the predictions for the absolute neutrino masses in the model can also saturate the recent constraints.

We study a neutrino mass model based on $S_4$ flavor symmetry which accommodates lepton mass, mixing with non-zero $theta_{13}$ and CP violation phase. The spontaneous symmetry breaking in the model is imposed to obtain the realistic neutrino mass an d mixing pattern at the tree- level with renormalizable interactions. Indeed, the neutrinos get small masses from one $SU(2)_L$ doubplet and two $SU(2)_L$ singlets in which one being in $underline{2}$ and the two others in $underline{3}$ under $S_4$ with both the breakings $S_{4}rightarrow S_3$ and $S_{4}rightarrow Z_3$ are taken place in charged lepton sector and $S_4rightarrow mathcal{K}$ in neutrino sector. The model also gives a remarkable prediction of Dirac CP violation $delta_{CP}=frac{pi}{2}$ or $-frac{pi}{2}$ in the both normal and inverted spectrum which is still missing in the neutrino mixing matrix. The relation between lepton mixing angles is also represented.
In this work, we present a comparative study of the three of the seesaw models, viz., type II, inverse and linear seesaw models, to investigate about light neutrino masses and mixings, flavour structure, neutrinoless double beta decay ($ 0 u beta bet a $) and charged lepton flavour violation (cLFV) decay ($murightarrow egamma$). We consider the $ A_{4} $ flavour symmetry, while some other symmetries, like $U(1)_{X}$, $Z_4$ and $Z_5$ are also included to forbid unwanted terms in the Lagrangian. Taking into account the present experimental data for the known light neutrino parameters from recent global fit data, we compute the currently unknown neutrino parameters such as the lightest neutrino mass ($m_1$), CPV phase (Dirac and Majorana), and effective light neutrino mass in the neutrinoless double beta decay, by considering different VEV alignments of the triplet scalar flavon fields. We also elucidate on the octant of atmospheric neutrino mixing angle, $theta_{23}$, in the light of our predicted results. Finally, we present the region of parameter spaces of $m_1$, CPV phases, octant of $theta_{23}$ and effective mass measurable in of neutrino less double beta decay experiments, that can be tested in future experiments. We observe that the branching ratio of ($murightarrow egamma$) can help discriminate the three seesaw models. Further, the favoured Octant of the atmospheric mixing angle $theta_{23}$ changes with the VEV alignment of the triplet flavon field - i.e., the internal flavour structure of the neutrinos is reflected in their composition (mixing). The constant F determining the scale of flavour symmetry breaking, seesaw scale and coupling constants of the three seesaw models has also been computed, which puts a constraint among them allowed by the present experimental results.
Motivated by the recent resurrection of the evidence for an eV scale sterile neutrino from the MiniBooNE experiment, we revisit one of the most minimal seesaw model known as the minimal extended seesaw that gives rise to a $3+1$ light neutrino mass m atrix. We consider the presence of $A_4$ flavour symmetry which plays a non-trivial role in generating the structure of the neutrino mass matrix. Considering a diagonal charged lepton mass matrix and generic vacuum alignments of $A_4$ triplet flavons, we classify the resulting mass matrices based on their textures. Keeping aside the disallowed texture zeros based on earlier studies of $3+1$ neutrino textures, we categorise the remaining ones based on texture zeros, $mu-tau$ symmetry in the $3times3$ block and hybrid textures. After pointing out the origin of such $3+1$ neutrino textures to $A_4$ vacuum alignments, we use the latest $3+1$ neutrino oscillation data and numerically analyse the texture zeros and $mu-tau$ symmetric cases. We find that a few of them are allowed from each category predicting interesting correlations between neutrino parameters. We also find that all of these allowed cases prefer normal hierarchical pattern of light neutrino masses over inverted hierarchy.

In this paper, we present a systematic investigation on simple inverse seesaw models for neutrino masses and flavor mixing based on the modular $S^{}_4$ symmetry. Two right-handed neutrinos and three extra fermion singlets are introduced to account f or light neutrino masses through the inverse seesaw mechanism, and to provide a keV-mass sterile neutrino as the candidate for warm dark matter in our Universe. Considering all possible modular forms with weights no larger than four, we obtain twelve models, among which we find one is in excellent agreement with the observed lepton mass spectra and flavor mixing. Moreover, we explore the allowed range of the sterile neutrino mass and mixing angles, by taking into account the direct search of $X$-ray line and the Lyman-$alpha$ observations. The model predictions for neutrino mixing parameters and the dark matter abundance will be readily testable in future neutrino oscillation experiments and cosmological observations.
