Abstract
We study an inverse seesaw model of neutrino mass within the framework of flavor symmetry from the requirement of generating nonzero reactor mixing angle along with correct dark matter relic abundance. The leading order model gives rise to tribimaximal-type leptonic mixing, resulting in . Nonzero is generated at one-loop level by extending the model with additional scalar and fermion fields which take part in the loop correction. The particles going inside the loop are odd under an in-built symmetry such that the lightest odd particle can be a dark matter candidate. Correct neutrino and dark matter phenomenology can be achieved for such one-loop corrections either to the light neutrino mass matrix or to the charged lepton mass matrix, although the latter case is found to be more predictive. The predictions for neutrinoless double beta decay are also discussed, and inverted hierarchy in the charged lepton correction case is found to be disfavored by the latest KamLAND-Zen data.
