Majoron models provide neutrino masses via the spontaneous breaking of a global $U(1)$ symmetry. However, it may be argued that all global symmetries will be explicitly violated by gravitational effects. We show that it is possible to…
The detection and the research of the neutrinos background of Universe are the attractive problems. This problems do not seem the unpromising one in the case of the high neutrinos density that is necessary for the explanation of the…
To describe neutrino oscillations in the sense of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, we propose to use an off-diagonal neutrino-Higgs (mass) interaction, as discussed originally in a family gauge theory and in the extended Standard…
In this paper a hypothesis is considered, in which neutrinos and other weakly interacting particles play a fundamental role in Universe. In addition the Newton gravitational constant $G_N$ and the Hubble constant $H$ are interpreted as…
Effects of gravitational interaction are generally neglected in particle physics. A first order formulation of gravity is presented to include gravity in Quantum Mechanical Lagrangian of fermions. It is seen that fermions minimally coupled…
The recent evidence for neutrino oscillations stimulate us to discuss again the problem of fermion masses and mixings in gauge theories. In the standard model, several forms for quark mass matrices are equivalent. They become ansatze within…
The current searches for neutrino oscillations seem to suggest an approximate $L_e-L_\m-L_{\tau}$ flavor symmetry. This symmetry implies a pair of degenerate neutrinos with mass $m_0$ and large leptonic mixing. We explore the possibility…
Propagation of fermions in curved space-time generates a gravitational interaction due to the coupling between spin of the fermion and space-time curvature. This gravitational interaction, which is an axial-vector appears as the CPT…
The recent tension between local and early measurements of the Hubble constant can be explained in a particle physics context. A mechanism is presented where this tension is alleviated due to the presence of a Majoron, arising from the…

In the left-right symmetric models without bi-doublet Higgs scalars, the standard model fermions can obtain masses by integrating out heavy charged singlet fermions. We find the decays of heavy neutral singlet fermions, responsible for…
Large, non-standard neutrino self-interactions have been shown to resolve the $\sim 4\sigma$ tension in Hubble constant measurements and a milder tension in the amplitude of matter fluctuations. We demonstrate that interactions of the…
In this work we demonstrate that non-zero neutrino masses can be generated from gravitational interactions. We solve the Schwinger-Dyson equations to find a non-trivial vacuum thereby determining the scale of the neutrino condensate and the…
The smallness and hierarchy in fermion parameters could be the result of selection rules due to an Abelian horizontal symmetry broken by a small parameter. When applied to the lepton sector, then for a large class of models, a number of…
The discovery of neutrino oscillations provides a solid evidence for nonzero neutrino masses and leptonic mixing. The fact that neutrino masses are so tiny constitutes a puzzling problem in particle physics. From the theoretical viewpoint,…
Propagation of a fermion in curved space-time generates a gravitational interaction due to coupling of its spin with the space-time curvature connection. This gravitational interaction, which is an axial-four-vector multiplied by a four…

A new mechanism is proposed for generating neutrino masses radiatively through a non-minimal coupling to gravity of fermionic bilinears involving massive neutral fermions. Such coupling terms can arise in theories where the gravity sector…
