Impact of $U_{e3}$ on Neutrino Models

Abstract

We have discussed the impact of $U_{e3}$ on the model of the neutrino mass matrix. In order to get the small $U_{e3}$, some flavor symmetry is required. Typical two models are investigated. The first one is the model in which the bi-maximal mixing is realized at the symmetric limit. The second one is the texture zeros of the neutrino mass matrix.
