The linear seesaw mechanism provides a simple way to generate neutrino masses. In addition to Standard Model particles, it includes quasi-Dirac leptons as neutrino mass mediators, and a leptophilic scalar doublet seeding small neutrino…
We give a pedagogical introduction to right-handed neutrinos as a simple extension to the Standard Model (SM), focussing on seesaw models and their possible experimental signatures. We preface this with a review of the lepton sector of the…
We consider a left-right symmetric model with an $SU(2)_L$ and an $SU(2)_R$ scalar doublet but without the scalar bidoublet. The charged fermion masses in this model are generated via a universal seesaw mechanism. We add a set of three…
We consider the low scale ($10$ - $100$ TeV) left-right symmetric model with "naturally" small neutrino masses generated through the inverse seesaw mechanism. The Dirac neutrino mass terms are taken to be similar to the masses of charged…
In the democratic universal seesaw model, the mass matrices are given by \bar{f}_L m_L F_R + \bar{F}_L m_R f_R + \bar{F}_L M_F F_R (f: quarks and leptons; F: hypothetical heavy fermions), m_L and m_R are universal for up- and down-fermions,…
In the left-right symmetric models, we can take the left-right symmetry to be the charge-conjugation and then impose a global symmetry under which the left- and right-handed fermion doublets carry equal but opposite charges. Consequently,…
We consider an extension of the Standard Model (SM) augmented by two neutral singlet fermions per generation and a leptoquark. In order to generate the light neutrino masses and mixing, we incorporate inverse seesaw mechanism. The right…
A left-right symmetric model is discussed with new mirror fermions and a Higgs sector with two doublets and neutral scalar singlets. The seesaw mechanism is generalized, including not only neutrino masses but also charged fermion masses.…
We develop a universal seesaw version of the Pati-Salam model wherein quarks and leptons of each family are unified into common multiplets transforming as $\psi_L(2,1,4))+ \psi_R((1,2,4)$ under the $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times SU(4)_c$…
We construct a model realizing the inverse seesaw mechanism. The model has two types of gauge singlet fermions in addition to right-handed neutrinos. A required Majorana mass scale (keV scale) for generating the light active neutrino mass…
We propose a model that all quark and lepton mass matrices have the same zero texture. Namely their (1,1), (1,3) and (3,1) components are zeros. The mass matrices are classified into two types I and II. Type I is consistent with the…
The see-saw mechanism of neutrino mass generation may enhance lepton mixing up to maximal even if the Dirac mass matrices of leptons have structure similar to that in the quark sector. Two sets of conditions for such an enhancement are…
We consider a minimal left-right model with a Peccei-Quinn symmetry, where generalised charge conjugation plays the role of the left-right symmetry. We show how the spontaneous breaking of the Peccei-Quinn symmetry by a scalar singlet can…
Experimental results indicate a possible relation between the lepton and quark mixing matrices of the form U_PMNS \approx V_CKM^\dagger U_X, where U_X is a matrix with special structure related to the mechanism of neutrino mass generation.…
Neutrino are massless in the Standard Model. The most popular mechanism to generate neutrino masses are the type I and type II seesaw, where right-handed neutrinos and a scalar triplet are augmented to the Standard Model, respectively. In…

A see-saw scenario for an $A_4$ flavour symmetric standard model is presented. The latter, compared with the standard model, has an extended field content adopting now an additional $A_4$ symmetry structure (along with the standard model…
We propose a model for lepton mass matrices based on the seesaw mechanism, a complex scalar gauge singlet and a horizontal symmetry $S_3 \times \mathbbm{Z}_2$. In a suitable weak basis, the charged-lepton mass matrix and the neutrino Dirac…
