Renormalization group invariant of lepton Yukawa couplings

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-04-21 v2

Abstract

By using quark Yukawa matrices only, we can construct renormalization invariants that are exact at the one-loop level in the standard model. One of them IqI^q is accidentally consistent with unity, even though quark masses are strongly hierarchical. We calculate a lepton version of the invariant IlI^l for Dirac and Majorana neutrino cases and find that IlI^l can also be close to unity. For the Dirac neutrino and inverted hierarchy case, if the lightest neutrino mass is 3.0 meV to 8.8 meV, an equality Iq=IlI^q=I^l can be satisfied. These invariants are not changed even if new particles couple to the standard model particles, as long as those couplings are generation independent.
