We assume there to be precisely three left-handed neutrino states whose Majorana masses are generated by an unspecified mechanism. Were CP conserved, the symmetric neutrino mass matrix M would be real and all six of its distinct entries could be experimentally determined. But CP is not conserved so that M is likely to be complex. As a result, not all nine of its convention-independent real parameters can be determined without an appeal to theory. Thus we examine the possibility that a restricted class of neutrino mass matrices may suffice to describe current data, namely those complex symmetric matrices several of whose entries vanish. We find that there are seven acceptable textures with two independent zeroes, and we explore their contrasting phenomenological implications. Textures with more than two independent zeroes appear to be excluded by experiment.

  1. Universal two-zero texture in SO(10): implications of JUNO and realization from non-invertible symmetries

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The universal two-zero texture in SO(10) fits flavor data with seven parameters, prefers normal neutrino ordering, predicts Dirac-phase regions and meV-scale m_beta beta, and arises from Z_3 gauging of Z_N (minimal N=...

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A minimal dark SU(2)_D model with anomaly cancellation and Z4 symmetry generates a rank-two Dirac neutrino mass matrix enforcing one exactly massless neutrino.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    With CMB+BAO mass-sum bounds only A1/A2 two-zero textures survive; viable one-zero textures (via flow matching) predict distinct Σmi, ⟨mee⟩, and δCP patterns, realizable by non-invertible selection rules.

  6. The Future of Lepton Flavor

    hep-ph 2026-06 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.

  7. The Triadic Texture: Neutrino Predictions, Viable Vacuum, and Phenomenological Constraints

    A new neutrino mass matrix texture under A4 x multiple Z symmetries predicts normal hierarchy, theta23 octant, and bounds on phases and masses in a seesaw model.

  8. Implications of the First JUNO Results for Dirac Neutrino Texture Zeros

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    JUNO data strongly disfavors Dirac neutrino texture zero pattern C, leaving only patterns A1 and A2 compatible with current oscillation observables.
