Scientific paper
I discuss in this talk mainly three topics related with dark matter motivated neutrino mass spectrum and a generic issue of mass pattern, the normal versus the inverted mass hierarchies. In the first part, by describing failure of a nontrivial potential counter example, I argue that the standard 3 $\nu$ mixing scheme with the solar and the atmospheric $\Delta m^2$'s is robust. In the second part, I discuss the almost degenerate neutrino (ADN) scenario as the unique possibility of accommodating dark matter mass neutrinos into the 3 $\nu$ scheme. I review a cosmological bound and then reanalyze the constraints imposed on the ADN scenario with the new data of double beta decay experiment. In the last part, I discuss the 3 $\nu$ flavor transformation in supernova (SN) and point out the possibility that neutrinos from SN may distinguish the normal versus inverted hierarchies of neutrino masses. By analyzing the neutrino data from SN1987A, I argue that the inverted mass hierarchy is disfavored by the data.
