We show that Dirac neutrino masses of the right size can arise from the Kahler potential of supergravity. They are proportional to the supersymmetry and the electroweak breaking scales. We find that they have the experimentally observed…
A simple renormalizable U(1) gauge model is constructed to explain the smallness of the active neutrino masses and provide the stable cold dark matter candidate simultaneously. The local U(1) symmetry is assumed to be spontaneously broken…
We consider a dark electroweak phase transition, during which a baryon asymmetry in the dark neutrons and an equal lepton asymmetry in the dark Dirac neutrinos can be simultaneously induced by the CP-violating reflection of the dark…
In this paper, a followup of arXiv: 1802.05722, we describe the many pathways to generate Dirac neutrino mass through dimension-6 operators. By using only the Standard Model Higgs doublet in the external legs one gets a unique operator…
The $SU(3)_c^{}\times SU(2)_L^{} \times U(1)_Y^{}$ standard model is extended by a $U(1)_{B-L}^{}$ gauge symmetry with four right-handed neutrinos. Because of their Yukawa couplings to a Higgs singlet for spontaneously breaking the…
We propose a unified explanation for the origin of dark matter and baryon number asymmetry on the basis of a non-supersymmetric model for neutrino masses. Neutrino masses are generated in two distinct ways, that is, a tree-level seesaw…
A proposal for the neutrino mass, based on neutrino-scalar field interaction, is introduced. The scalar field is also non-minimally coupled to the Ricci scalar and hence relates the neutrino mass to the matter density. In a dense region,…
We develop a class of left-right symmetric theories based on the gauge group $SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)$ with a generalized seesaw mechanism for generating the charged fermion masses. Neutrinos are naturally Dirac…
Heavy neutrinos with masses below the electroweak scale can simultaneously generate the light neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism and the baryon asymmetry of the universe via leptogenesis. The requirement to explain these phenomena…
The spontaneous breaking of an $A_4$ flavour symmetry, often used to predict leptonic mixing, can lead to the formation of domain walls which can annihilate and generate a stochastic gravitational wave background. We study this phenomenon…
The Standard Model (SM) with one right-handed neutrino per generation is revisited with presymmetry being the global $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry of an electroweak theory of leptons and quarks with initially postulated symmetric fractional…
A possible explanation for the appearance of light fermions and Higgs bosons on the four-dimensional domain wall is proposed. The mechanism of light particle trapping is accounted for by a strong self-interaction of five-dimensional…
Mirror fermions with masses around the weak scale could break dynamically the electroweak symmetry if they were coupled with a new strong interaction. The purpose of this talk is to show what sort of dynamics are needed in order to render…
We show that a very simple solution to the strong CP problem naturally leads to Dirac neutrinos. Small effective neutrino masses emerge from a type I Dirac seesaw mechanism. Neutrino mass limits probe the axion parameters in regions…
We consider a simple scale-invariant action coupling the Higgs field to the metric scalar curvature $R$ and containing an $R^2$ term that exhibits spontaneous breaking of scale invariance and electroweak symmetry. The coefficient of the…
Mass is commonly regarded as an intrinsic property of matter, but modern physics reveals particle masses to have complex origins, such as the Higgs mechanism in high-energy physics. In crystal lattices such as graphene, relativistic Dirac…
We aim to explain the nature of neutrinos using Peccei-Quinn symmetry. We discuss two simple scenarios, one based on a type-II Dirac seesaw and the other in a one-loop neutrino mass generation, which solve the strong CP problem and…
The connection between the Dirac field as the field of matter and the spacetime metric is discussed within the framework of classical field theory. Polarization structure of the Dirac field is shown to be rich enough to determine the…
We propose a gauge-symmetry origin of a rank-two Dirac neutrino mass matrix that enforces one exactly massless neutrino, while being consistent with the oscillation data, as well as cosmological constraints. The mechanism relies on a…
Discrete symmetries are commonplace in field theoretical models but pose a severe problem for cosmology since they lead to the formation of domain walls during spontaneous symmetry breaking in the early universe. However if one of the…
