abstract

We show that it is possible to enforce texture zeros in arbitrary entries of the fermion mass matrices by means of Abelian symmetries; in this way, many popular mass-matrix textures find a symmetry justification. We propose two alternative methods which allow to place zeros in any number of elements of the mass matrices that one wants. They are applicable simultaneously in the quark and lepton sectors. They are also applicable in Grand Unified Theories. The number of scalar fields required by our methods may be large; still, in many interesting cases this number can be reduced considerably. The larger the desired number of texture zeros is, the simpler are the models which reproduce the texture.

Hunting for Neutrino Texture Zeros with Muon and Tau Flavor Violation

hep-ph · 2025-11-11 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Two-zero textures in the neutrino mass matrix produce distinctive, testable correlations among charged lepton flavor violation processes, with some patterns suppressing muon-to-electron transitions while permitting tau decays at observable rates down to a 5-6 TeV cutoff.

The Future of Lepton Flavor

hep-ph · 2026-06-03 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Upcoming neutrino experiments are projected to substantially reduce the number of viable leptonic flavor models in five popular classes by measuring mass ordering, theta_23 octant, delta_CP, and absolute mass scale.

  • Universal two-zero texture in SO(10): implications of JUNO and realization from non-invertible symmetries hep-ph · 2026-06-23 · conditional · none · ref 39 · internal anchor

    Universal two-zero textures in SO(10) remain compatible with JUNO-era flavor data, prefer normal ordering, predict meV-scale mββ, and arise from Z3-gauged Z7 non-invertible selection rules.
