Ramifications of texture one-zero neutrino mass model in coherence with the latest neutrino data

Abstract

We have investigated the phenomenological implications of texture one-zero neutrino mass matrix under the lamp post of the latest data on neutrino mass and mixings. In particular, we have obtained the predictions of the model for, yet unknown observables like neutrino mass hierarchy, [Formula: see text]-octant and CP violation. Out of the six texture one-zero neutrino mass models, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are found to be necessarily CP violating. [Formula: see text] can be above or below maximality except for the texture [Formula: see text] (with NH), wherein [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text]. Also, we have proposed a flavor model based on the non-Abelian group [Formula: see text] within the paradigm of type-I+II seesaw framework, wherein such textures can be realized.
