In the inverse seesaw extension of the standard model, supersymmetric or non-supersymmetric, while the light left-handed neutrinos are Majorana, the heavy right-handed neutrinos are pseudo-Dirac fermions. We show how one of these latter…

We study a system of fermions interacting with a scalar field, in 4+1 dimensions where the 5th dimension is compactified, using an exact functional method, where quantum fluctuations are controlled by the amplitude of the bare fermion mass.…

Senjanovic and Tello have analyzed how one could determine the neutrino Dirac mass matrix in the minimal left-right model, assuming that the mass matrices for the light and heavy neutrinos could be taken as inputs. They have provided an…

The possibility of generating neutrino mass through see-saw mechanism involving U(1) chiral Peccei-Quinn and scale symmetries breakdown is discussed. We consider a generic scale invariant model which has three Majorana fermions and a…

Single and double universal seesaw mechanisms and the hypothesis of universal strength for Yukawa couplings are applied to formulate a unified theory of fermion mass spectrum in a model based on an extended Pati-Salam symmetry. Five kinds…

In this study, we implement the type-II seesaw mechanism for Dirac neutrino masses within the framework of a 3-3-1 model. To this end, we introduce a scalar sextet and impose both lepton number conservation and invariance under a discrete…

In this contribution we lay down a lattice setup that allows for the non-perturbative study of a field theoretical model where a SU(2) fermion doublet, subjected to non-Abelian gauge interactions, is also coupled to a complex scalar field…

The effect of quantum torsion in theories of quantum gravity is usually described by an axion-like field which couples to matter and to gravitation and radiation gauge fields. In perturbation theory, the couplings of this torsion-descent…

If neutrinos have masses, why are they so tiny? Are these masses of the Dirac type or of the Majorana type? We are already familiar with the mechanism of how to obtain a tiny Majorana neutrino mass by the famous see-saw mechanism. The…

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…

We investigate the generation of small neutrino masses in a clockwork framework which includes Dirac mass terms as well as Majorana mass terms for the new fermions. We derive analytic formulas for the masses of the new particles and for…

In the extension of the Dimopoulos--Hall--Raby model of the fermion mass matrices to the neutrino sector, there is an entry in the up-quark and neutrino Dirac mass matrices which can be assumed to arise from the Yukawa coupling of a {\bf…

Requiring the effective mass term for a category of fundamental Dirac or Majorana fermions of the same electric charge to be invariant under the translational transformations $\psi^{}_{\alpha \rm L (R)} \to \psi^{}_{\alpha \rm L (R)} +…

In this work we attempt to determine the mass anomalous dimension of the SU(N) gauge theory with two Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation, in the limit of large N. The method uses the mode number of the Dirac operator, as done in…

We propose a realistic model with Majorana neutrinos in the framework of unifying the three generations of fermions by point interactions in an extra dimension. This model can simultaneously explain the origin of fermion generations,…

In this letter we try to answer those of the open questions of the Standard model which concern the appearance of families, mass protection mechanism and the Yukawa couplings - by using the approach (proposed by one of us), which suggests a…

The group E_6 for grand unification is combined with the generation symmetry group SO(3) x Z(2). The coupling matrices in the Yukawa interaction are identified with the vacuum expectation values of scalar flavons. The symmetric part of this…

For understanding the hierarchies of fermion masses and mixing, we extend the Standard Model gauge group with \( U(1)_X \) and \( Z_2 \) symmetry. The field content of the Standard Model is augmented by three heavy right-handed neutrinos,…

We describe a scenario where the smallness of neutrino masses is related to a global symmetry that is only violated by quantum gravitational effects. The coupling of neutrinos to gauge singlet right-handed fermions is attributed to symmetry…

We present a scenario of neutrino masses and mixing angles. Each generation includes a sterile right handed neutrino in addition to the usual left handed one. We assume a hierarchy in their Dirac masses similar to, but much larger than the…
