Strong BBP couplings for the charmed baryons
According to the Coleman-Glashow null theorem if all the symmetry breaking effects belong to the same regular representation (octet in the case of SU(3) and 15 in the case of SU(4)) and are generated in a tadpole type mechanism, the strangeness changing (charm changing) weak transitions generated through the S6 (S9) tadpole must vanish. Exploiting this null result, we find relations between the BBP coupling constants which allow us to write the coupling constants in terms of two parameters and baryon masses. Fixing these two parameters ( gNNπ and gΛΣπ) from experiments, we estimate the remaining coupling constants.

Lepton textures and neutrino oscillations
A systematic analysis of the textures arising in lepton mass matrices have been carried out using unitary transformations and condition of naturalness for the Dirac and Majorana neutrino possibilities. It is observed that the recent three neutrino oscillation data together with the effective mass in neutrinoless double beta decay provide vital clues in predicting the general structures of these lepton mass matrices.

INVESTIGATING NON-FRITZSCH-LIKE TEXTURE SPECIFIC QUARK MASS MATRICES
A detailed investigation of all possible textures of Fritzsch-like and non-Fritzsch-like, 144 for texture 6 zero and 432 for texture 5 zero mass matrices, have been carried out to ascertain their compatibility with the existing quark mixing data. It seems that all the texture 6 zero possibilities are completely ruled out whereas in the case of texture 5 zero mass matrices the only viable possibility looks to be that of Fritzsch-like.

Implications of CP asymmetry parameter sin2β on structural features of texture specific mass matrices
Abstract In the context of Fritzsch-like texture 4 zero Hermitian quark mass matrices, we have attempted to find an ‘exact’ formula for sin 2 β wherein the dependence of β on the quark masses and the elements of the quark mass matrices is visible in a simple and clear manner. This has been achieved keeping in mind the strong hierarchy of the quark masses and assuming the weak hierarchy amongst the elements of the mass matrices. This ‘exact’ formula represents a vast improvement over the leading order formula based on strong hierarchy of the elements of the mass matrices. Apart from showing the compatibility of texture 4 zero mass matrices with the present value of sin 2 β and other CKM parameters, we find interesting conclusions regarding the structural features of the mass matrices.

Implications of precision measurements on texture specific fermion mass matrices
Implications of texture specific mass matrices have been investigated for both quarks and neutrinos. Interestingly, for the case of quarks Fritzsch-like texture 4 zero mass matrices have been found to be compatible with the present precisely known sin 2β as well as other precise CKM matrix elements. In the case of leptonic mass matrices, for both Majorana and Dirac neutrinos we find that for texture 4, 5, 6 zero mass matrices the inverted hierarchy and degenerate scenarios of neutrino masses are ruled out by the present data.

Lower bound on neutrino mass and possible CP violation in neutrino oscillations
The phenomenology of the most general lepton mass matrices obtained through weak basis transformations has been discussed. Using a hierarchical parametrization of these mass matrices, the exact relations for lepton mixing angles have been obtained assuming normal neutrino mass hierarchy and natural structures of lepton mass matrices. The recent three neutrino oscillation data together with the condition of naturalness on Dirac lepton mass matrices provide a lower bound on the lightest neutrino mass of m{\nu}1 > 3 meV along with a non-vanishing Dirac CP violating phase.
