What is the form of the neutrino mass matrix which governs the oscillations of the atmospheric and solar neutrinos? Features of the data have led to a dominant viewpoint where the mass matrix has an ordered, regulated pattern, perhaps dictated by a flavor symmetry. We challenge this viewpoint, and demonstrate that the data are well accounted for by a neutrino mass matrix which appears to have random entries.

  1. Radiative Mass Generation in Gauged Theories of Flavour: A Path to Fermion Mass Hierarchies

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Fermion mass hierarchies can arise because only the third generation gets tree-level mass, with first and second generation masses generated by gauge-boson loops in specific UV-complete models.

  2. Exploring the flavor structure of leptons via diffusion models

    hep-ph 2025-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Applies diffusion models to generate 10,000 neutrino mass matrices consistent with oscillation parameters in a seesaw model, revealing non-trivial distributions in CP phases and 0νββ effective mass.

  3. The Fundaments of Unity: ${\mathcal O}(1)$ Couplings in Quantum Field Theories

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Modeling O(1) couplings as IID random variables yields a spread distribution with fat power-law tails that widen with the number of couplings, including a 0.29 probability of spread exceeding 100 for 20 unit-normal draws.

  4. The Future of Lepton Flavor

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    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.

  5. Quark and lepton masses

    hep-ph 2025-06 unverdicted

    A review of fermion mass and mixing data and of the main theoretical attempts to explain them, from GUTs to string theory, without claiming a new result.
