Duality in Left-Right Symmetric Seesaw Mechanism
Abstract
We consider type I+II seesaw mechanism, where the exchanges of both right-handed neutrinos and isotriplet Higgs bosons contribute to the neutrino mass. Working in the left-right symmetric framework and assuming the mass matrix of light neutrinos and the Dirac-type Yukawa couplings to be known, we find the triplet Yukawa coupling matrix , which carries the information about the masses and mixing of the right-handed neutrinos. We show that in this case there exists a duality: for any solution , there is a dual solution , where is the VEV of the triplet Higgs. Thus, unlike in pure type I (II) seesaw, there is no unique allowed structure for the matrix . For lepton generations the number of solutions is . We develop an exact analytic method of solving the seesaw non-linear matrix equation for .
