Three-Neutrino Mass Matrices with Two Texture Zeros
read the original abstract
Out of the fifteen 3 x 3 neutrino mass matrices with two texture zeros seven are compatible with the neutrino oscillation data. While 2 of them correspond to hierarchical neutrino masses and 1 to an inverted hierarchy, the remaining 4 correspond to degenerate masses. Moreover only the first 3 of the 7 mass matrices are compatible with the maximal mixing angle of atmospheric neutrino and hence favoured by data. We give compact expressions for mass matrices in terms of mass eigenvalues and study phenomenological implications for the 7 cases. Similarity of the textures of the neutrino, charged-lepton mass matrices with those of quark mass matrices is also discussed.

Hunting for Neutrino Texture Zeros with Muon and Tau Flavor Violation
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 ta...

Implications of the First JUNO Results for Dirac Neutrino Texture Zeros
JUNO data strongly disfavors Dirac neutrino texture zero pattern C, leaving only patterns A1 and A2 compatible with current oscillation observables.
