Description
We have assumed special structures for the charged and neutral mass matrices in
the lepton sector, inspired by structures for the up and down quark mass matrices that result by
assuming a certain number of symmetrical zeros in their entries named texture zeros. A prediction
of the lepton mixing matrix results from the rotation matrices that diagonalize the mass matrices
in the neutral and charged lepton sectors. The use of texture zeros reduces the number of spurious
parameters to explain observations in this sector.
