Exact constraints on family-separated seesaw relations and their phenomenological consequences
Abstract
Working at tree level and at a common renormalization scale, we examine the family-separated seesaw ansatz of Z.-z.~Xing, arXiv:2605.27049v2. For a fixed light-heavy pairing, imposing together with yields the general exact solution and , where , , is unitary, and with . Consequently, and are diagonal, and distinct columns are exactly orthogonal. An exact unitary completion gives, in a convenient sterile basis, and , so that is diagonal. In the canonical domain , the singlet masses relevant to the unbroken-phase decay description are , distinct from the broken-phase heavy eigenvalues . Hence, at the scale of exact alignment, all standard unflavored and flavored nonresonant one-loop decay asymmetries vanish in the nondegenerate perturbative regime. For , the paired Yukawa column and decay width vanish instead. The flavor-summed rephasing-invariant combination used in the proposed asymmetry also cancels identically, although individual CP-odd invariants may remain nonzero. Thus the proposed correlation between low-energy CP violation and these decay asymmetries does not follow from exact family separation. This result does not address radiative misalignment, resonant or coherent dynamics, or thermal and higher-loop sources. We also correct the proposed heavy-mass reconstruction formulas and clarify the implications for neutrinoless double-beta decay, Yukawa scaling, parameter counting, and light-heavy mass orderings.
