Dirac neutrinos from flavor symmetry

Abstract: We present a model where Majorana neutrino mass terms are forbidden by the flavor symmetry group ∆(27). Neutrinos are Dirac fermions and their masses arise in the same way as those of the charged fermions, due to very small Yukawa couplings. The model fits current neutrino oscillation data and correlates the octant of the atmospheric angle θ 23 with the magnitude of the lightest neutrino mass, with maximal mixing excluded for any neutrino mass hierarchy.

“…Branco et al [27] proposed Z 3 symmetry among leptons and quarks, and introduced heavy right-handed Dirac and Majorana neutrinos for deriving light neutrinos in quark sectors and lepton sectors via the so-called seesaw mechanism [8]. Aranda et al [28] discussed that in order to create neutrino masses in a system with the Z 3 symmetry, neutrinos should be Dirac neutrinos instead of Majorana neutrinos.…”

“…If, instead, L,Ē and N were all assigned unit R-charges, an additional discrete or flavor symmetry would be necessary to forbid lepton violation in the IR. Examples of such constructions can be found in [4][5][6] and [27].…”
