Disentangling the Seesaw in the Left-Right Model -- An Algorithm for the General Case (2212.14837v2)

Abstract: 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 analytical solution for the Dirac mass matrix in the case that the left-right symmetry is implemented via a generalized parity symmetry and that this symmetry remains unbroken in the Dirac Yukawa sector. We extend the work of Senjanovic and Tello to the case in which the generalized parity symmetry is broken in the Dirac Yukawa sector. In this case the elegant method outlined by Senjanovic and Tello breaks down and we need to adopt a numerical approach. Several iterative approaches are described; these are found to work in some cases but to be highly unstable in others. A stable, prescriptive numerical algorithm is described that works in all but a vanishingly small number of cases. We apply this algorithm to numerical data sets that are consistent with current experimental constraints on neutrino masses and mixings. We also provide some additional context and supporting explanations for the case in which the parity symmetry is unbroken.
