Description
Status of theory of neutrino mass is outlined.
The key issues, which determine the progress in identification of physics behind neutrino masses and mixing, will be reviewed. Those include (i) role of sterile neutrinos, (ii) nature of neutrino mass, (iii) scale of neutrino mass generation and the electroweak scale, (iv) symmetry behind mixing pattern, (v) grand unification,
(vi) neutrino portal to dark sector,
(vii) neutrino connections to leptogenesis, dark matter,
dark energy, anomalies in particle physics.
