Texture of one equality in neutrino mass matrix

We carry out a phenomenological and analytical study of the texture structures for the Majorana neutrino mass matrix characterized by one single equality between two independent matrix elements, with vanishing non-physical phases whose role in the definition we clarify. We find that fourteen texture...
