Does the hierarchy problem generate the seesaw scale?

Abstract

We find that minimizing the number of fine tuning relations in non-supersymmetric models can determine the scales at which some gauge symmetries beyond the standard model must break. We show that SU(2)RSU(2)_R and BLB-L gauge symmetries of the minimal left-right symmetric model must break at a scale 1015GeV10^{15} GeV or higher, determined by the hierarchy problem and small ratios of quark masses, if parameters that break chiral or μ\mu-symmetries (and therefore can be naturally small), are not fine-tuned. This provides the raison de^treraison \ d'\hat{e}tre for the seesaw scale 1015GeV\sim 10^{15}GeV indicated by neutrino experiments. Small ratios of fermion (quark) masses, which are natural in the standard model due to approximate chiral symmetry, will have to be fine tuned in minimal left right model if SU(2)R×U(1)BLSU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L} breaks at a lower scale.
