We propose a supersymmetric scenario in which the small Yukawa couplings for the Dirac neutrino mass term are generated by the spontaneous-breaking of Pecci-Quinn symmetry. In this scenario, a right amount of dark matter relic density can…
Quaternion Dirac equation has been analyzed and its supersymetrization has been discussed consistently. It has been shown that the quaternion Dirac equation automatically describes the spin structure with its spin up and spin down…
Some properties of a neutrino may differ significantly depending on whether it is Dirac or Majorana type. The type is determined by the relative size of Dirac and Majorana masses, which may vary if they arise from an oscillating scalar dark…
Several new and interesting aspects of neutrino oscillations in a magnetic field are considered: 1) We develop a standard usually used approach to the neutrino spin oscillations in the neutrino mass basis and obtain the effective neutrino…
It is pointed out that there are gauge-dependent and gauge-independent spinors within the little-group framework for internal space-time symmetries of massless particles. It is shown that two of the $SL(2,c)$ spinors are invariant under…
We show that Majorana particles belong to the Wigner class of fermions in which the charge conjugation and the parity operators commute, rather than anticommute. Rigorously speaking, Majorana spinors do not satisfy the Dirac equation [a…
We explore a new origin of neutrino dark energy and baryon asymmetry in the universe. The neutrinos acquire small masses through the Dirac seesaw mechanism. The pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson associated with neutrino mass-generation provides…
A new framework for deriving equations of motion for constrained quantum systems is introduced, and a procedure for its implementation is outlined. In special cases the framework reduces to a quantum analogue of the Dirac theory of…
We try to envision that there might be a dark-matter world and neutrinos, especially the right-handed ones, might be coupled directly with dark-matter particles in the dark-matter world. The candidate model would be the extended Standard…
The Dirac equation provides a description of spin 1/2 particles, consistent with both the principles of quantum mechanics and of special relativity. Often its presentation to students is based on mathematical propositions that may hide the…

Weak interactions in neutron $\beta$-decay exhibit parity violation through the preferential emission of right-handed antineutrinos. We identify this symmetry breaking with a reduction of phase space due to the small neutrino mass. During a…
