TEXTURE-ZERO MODEL FOR THE LEPTON MASS MATRICES

TEXTURE-ZERO MODEL FOR THE LEPTON MASS MATRICES

We suggest a simple model, based on the type-I seesaw mechanism, for the lepton mass matrices. The model hinges on an Abelian symmetry which leads to mass matrices with some vanishing matrix elements. The model predicts one massless neutrino and $M_{e\mu} = 0$ ($M$ is the effective light-neutrino Majorana mass …
