Texture Zeros and CP-violating Phases in the Neutrino Mass Matrix

Abstract

We stress that specific texture zeros of lepton mass matrices, which might dynamically arise from a new kind of flavor symmetry, can help us to establish simple and testable relations between the lepton flavor mixing parameters and lepton mass ratios. We present a brief review of one-zero, two-zero and three-zero textures of the neutrino mass matrix. Their phenomenological consequences on neutrino mixing and CP violation are also discussed.
