New Hybrid Textures for Neutrino Mass Matrices

We perform a systematic investigation of the texture structures of Majorana neutrino mass matrix $M_ν$ having two texture zeros and an equality between two nonzero matrix elements, in the light of recent neutrino oscillation data. Among forty-two possible textures, it is found that only eight textures are compatible with the current experimental data at 3$σ$ C.L. Out of these phenomenologically viable textures, six follow normal mass ordering while remaining two satisfy the inverted mass ordering of neutrino mass spectrum. In the numerical analysis, we carry out a scan over the possible space of all viable patterns. We present the implications of each allowed patterns for three mixing angles (solar, reactor and atmospheric), leptonic CP-violation, neutrino mass scale and the neutrinoless double beta decay indicating strong correlations between oscillation parameters. The symmetry realization of one of the viable textures is also presented.
