An extension of QED is considered in which the Dirac fermion has both Hermitian and anti-Hermitian mass terms, as well as both vector and axial-vector couplings to the gauge field. Gauge invariance is restored when the Hermitian and…

We study the non-Hermitian extension of the Lagrangian of the Standard Model extended by singlet right-handed heavy neutrinos. The Yukawa coupling matrices comprise of hermitian and non-hermitian components and the neutrino mass eigenvalues…

We consider Yukawa couplings in a theta-exact approach to noncommutative gauge field theory and show that both Dirac and singlet Majorana neutrino mass terms can be consistently accommodated. This shows that in fact the whole neutrino-mass…

We study the survivability of neutrino mass models with normal as well as inverted hierarchical mass patterns in the presence of both type I and type II seesaw contributions to neutrino mass within the framework of generic left-right…

We propose a radiative Dirac neutrino mass model stabilized by a non-invertible fusion rule originating from a $Z_3 \times Z_3'$ gauging. The imposed symmetry forbids tree-level Yukawa couplings and ensures that neutrino masses are…

We demonstrate that Dirac neutrino masses in the experimentally preferred range are generated within supersymmetric gauge extensions of the Standard Model with a generalized supersymmetry breaking sector. If the usual superpotential Yukawa…

We study different properties of an anti-Hermitian Yukawa interaction, motivated by a scenario of radiative anomalous generation of masses for the right-handed sterile neutrinos. The model, involving either a pseudo-scalar or a scalar, is…

We investigate a simple model of neutrino mass based on SU(3)_C X SU(3)_L X U(1)_X gauge unification. The Yukawa coupling of the model has automatic lepton-number symmetry which is broken only by the self-couplings of the Higgs boson. At…

Assuming lepton number conservation, hermiticity of the neutrino mass matrix and $\nu_{\mu} - \nu_{\tau}$ exchange symmetry, we show that we can determine the neutrino mass matrix completely from the existing data. Comparing with the…

We address the problem of accounting for light neutrino masses in theories with dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking. We discuss this in the context of a class of (extended) technicolor (ETC) models and analyze the full set of Dirac and…

Recently, there has been a growing interest in extensions of the Standard Model in which naturally small Dirac neutrino masses arise due to existence of a symmetry which protects neutrino's Diracness. Motivated by this, we consider an…

We consider the possibility that Dirac neutrino masses may be a manifestation of chiral symmetry breaking via non-perturbative QCD dynamics. The key role played by light quarks in this mechanism can naturally lead to signals that are…

We study the generation of neutrino masses in the $SU(3)_W$ electroweak unified theory in $M_4\times S_1/(Z_2\times Z'_2)$ spacetime. By appropriate orbifolding, the bulk symmetry $SU(3)_W$ is broken into $SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$ at one of…

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…

Lorentz spacetime symmetry represents a unifying feature of the fundamental forces, typically manifest at sufficiently high energies, while in quantum materials it emerges in the deep low-energy regime. However, its fate in quantum…

We explore masses and mixings for Dirac neutrinos in models where lepton number is conserved, under the guidance of a hidden, but broken, $\mu-\tau$ exchange symmetry, that makes itself evident in the squared hermitian mass matrix. We study…

We present a model constructed within a non-supersymmetric framework capable of explaining both current neutrino oscillation data and the observed dark matter relic abundance. In this study, the Yukawa couplings are expressed as…

We propose a way of protecting a Dirac fermion interacting with a scalar field from acquiring a mass from the vacuum. It is obtained through an implementation of translational symmetry when the theory is formulated with a momentum cutoff,…

We explore generalized global symmetries in theories of physics beyond the Standard Model. Theories of $Z'$ bosons generically contain 'non-invertible' chiral symmetries, whose presence indicates a natural paradigm to break this symmetry by…

Probing the origin of neutrino mass by disentangling the seesaw mechanism is one of the central issues of particle physics. We address it in the minimal left-right symmetric model and show how the knowledge of light and heavy neutrino…
