The commonly used pseudo-C symmetry $(\nu_{L})^{c}=C\overline{\nu_{L}}^{T}$ is not defined in Lagrangian field theory. In general, there exist two classes of Majorana fermions; the first is associated with the Dirac-type fermion with the…
The Majorana neutrino $\psi_{M}(x)$ when constructed as a superposition of chiral fermions such as $\nu_{L} + C\overline{\nu_{L}}^{T}$ is characterized by $ ({\cal C}{\cal P}) \psi_{M}(x)({\cal C}{\cal P})^{\dagger}…
We suggest that the Majorana neutrino should be regarded as a Bogoliubov quasiparticle that is consistently understood only by use of a relativistic analogue of the Bogoliubov transformation. The unitary charge conjugation condition ${\cal…
It is shown that the specific "charge conjugation" transformation used to define the Majorana fermions in the conventional seesaw mechanism, namely $(\nu_{R})^{C}=C\bar{\nu_{R}}^{T}$ for a chiral fermion $\nu_{R}$ (and similarly for…
Two mathematical models based on Pauli transformations including U(1) chiral group and Pauli SU(2) group, that mixes particle and antiparticle states, are developed for description of Majorana properties of neutral particles. The first one…
The parity transformation law of the fermion field $\psi(x)$ is usually defined by the "$\gamma^{0}$-parity" $\psi^{p}(t,-\vec{x}) = \gamma^{0}\psi(t,-\vec{x})$ with eigenvalues $\pm 1$, while the "$i\gamma^{0}$-parity"…
The idea that the Majorana neutrino should be identified as a Bogoliubov quasiparticle is applied to the seesaw mechanism for the three generations of neutrinos in the Standard Model. A relativistic analogue of the Bogoliubov transformation…
We investigate the algebraic structure of the most general neutrino mass Hamiltonian and place the see-saw mechanism in an algebraic framework. We show that this Hamiltonian can be written in terms of the generators of an Sp(4) algebra. The…
In the analysis of neutron-antineutron oscillations, it has been recently argued in the literature that the use of the $i\gamma^{0}$ parity $n^{p}(t,-\vec{x})=i\gamma^{0}n(t,-\vec{x})$ which is consistent with the Majorana condition is…
The Lagrangian of the seesaw mechanism is C violating but the same Lagrangian when re-written in terms of Majorana neutrinos is manifestly C invariant. To resolve this puzzling feature, a relativistic analogue of Bogoliubov transformation,…
A generalized connection between the quantum mechanical Bargmann invariants and the geometric phases was established for the Dirac fermions. We extend that formalism for the Majorana fermions by defining proper quantum mechanical ray and…
We propose a complex extension of mixed $\mu\tau$ antisymmetry in the neutrino Majorana mass matrix $M_\nu$. This can be implemented in the Lagrangian by a generalized CP transformation (labeled by a mixing parameter $\theta$) on the…
General Majorana neutrino mass matrix is complex symmetric and for three generations of neutrinos it contains 12 real parameters. We diagonalize this general neutrino mass matrix and express the three neutrino masses, three mixing angles,…
We provide theoretical evidence that the neutrino is a Majorana fermion. This evidence comes from assuming that the standard model and beyond-standard-model physics can be described through division algebras, coupled to a quantum dynamics.…
We reformulate the symmetries of Gurses [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 367 (1993)] in a more abstract, more geometrical manner. The type (b) transformation of \gurses\ is related to a diffeomorphism of the differentiable manifold onto itself. The…
We analyse the interplay of generalised CP transformations and the non-Abelian discrete group $T^{\prime}$ and use the semi-direct product $G_f= T^{\prime}\rtimes H_{\text{CP}}$, as family symmetry acting in the lepton sector. The family…
We consider the transformation properties of fermions under the discrete symmetries CPT, CP, and C in the presence of B-L violation. We thus generalize the analysis of the known properties of Majorana neutrinos, probed via neutrinoless…
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…
We present a complete set of generators for the rank 5 special unitary group, SU(6), to unify strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions. The unification is realized through the breaking pattern of SU)6) -> SU(3)_C x SU(3)_H x U(1)_C…
We consider the most general neutrino masses and mixings including Dirac mass terms, M_D, as well as Majorana masses, M_R and M_L. Neither the Majorana nor the Dirac mass matrices are expected to be diagonal in the eigenbasis of weak…
