A universal seesaw mechanism in five dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
We show the universal seesaw in the extra dimension setup, where three extra vector-like fields exist in the 5D bulk with heavy masses. We take the framework of the left-right symmetric model. The universal seesaw formula is easily obtained as a replacement of the vector-like mass in 4D case Mi to 2M∗ tan[πRMi] (M∗: 5D Planck scale, Mi: vector-like bulk mass, and R: compactification radius). The smallness of Dirac neutrino mass can be naturally explained in the 5D setup. We also show the Majorana neutrino case. E-mail: [email protected]

Single and Double Universal Seesaw Mechanisms with Universal Strength for Yukawa Couplings
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 of Higgs fields are postulated to mediate scalar interactions among electroweak doublets of light fermions and electroweak singlets of heavy exotic fermions w...
متن کاملLight Neutrinos without Heavy Mass Scales: A Higher-Dimensional Seesaw Mechanism
Recent theoretical developments have shown that extra spacetime dimensions can lower the fundamental GUT, Planck, and string scales. However, recent evidence for neutrino oscillations suggests the existence of light non-zero neutrino masses, which in turn suggests the need for a heavy mass scale via the seesaw mechanism. In this paper, we make several observations in this regard. First, we poin...
متن کاملSeesaw induced electroweak scale, the hierarchy problem and sub-eV neutrino masses
We describe a model for the scalar sector where all interactions occur either at an ultra-high scale ΛU ∼ 10 − 10 GeV or at an intermediate scale ΛI = 10 − 10 GeV. The interaction of physics on these two scales results in an SU(2) Higgs condensate at the electroweak (EW) scale, ΛEW , through a seesaw-like Higgs mechanism, ΛEW ∼ Λ2I/ΛU , while the breaking of the SM SU(2)×U(1) gauge symmetry occ...
متن کاملUniversal Seesaw Mechanism with Universal Strength for Yukawa Couplings
Hypotheses of universal seesaw mechanism and universal strength for Yukawa couplings are applied to explain one possible origin of quasi-democratic mass matrices of special type in a left-right symmetric model with the gauge group SU(3)c×SU(2)L×SU(2)R×U(1). Two kinds of Higgs doublets are postulated to mediate scalar interactions between i-th generation of light fermion doublets and j-th genera...
متن کاملAlternatives to the Seesaw Mechanism
The observed pattern of lepton mixing does not give an evidence of the seesaw. It is easier to disprove seesaw showing that one of the alternatives gives dominant contribution to the neutrino mass. We consider alternative mechanisms based on (i) small (tree level) effective couplings, (ii) small VEV, (iii) radiative generation of masses, (iv) protection by SUSY breaking scale or by µ-term, (v) ...
