Singlet Fermion Assisted Dominant Seesaw with Lepton Flavor and Number Violations and Leptogenesis

Abstract

In a recent review Mohapatra has discussed how type-I seesaw mechanism suppressed by fine tuning of Yukawa couplings, or specific textures of associated fermion mass matrices, can form the basis of neutrino masses in TeV scale $W_R$ boson models. In this paper we review recent works in another class of theories where the added presence of fermion singlets manifesting as sterile neutrinos render the type-I seesaw contribution vanishing but extended seesaw dominant where the light neutrino mass formula is same as the classic inverse seesaw but all massive neutrinos are Majorana fermions. We also show domunance of linear seesaw, or double seesaw, or type-II seesaw in due to cancellation of type-I seesaw. Embeddings of this mechnism in supersymmetric as well as non-supersymmetric SO(10) with low or intermediate masses of $W_R$ or $Z_R$ bosons are discussed. We also discuss how this cancellation criteria has led to a new mechanism of type-II seesaw dominance which permits $U(1{)}_{B-L}$ breaking scale much smaller than the left-handed triplet mass. Out of a number of new observable predictions, the most visible ones are the dominant contribution to LFV decays and neutrinoless double beta decay mediated by light sterile neutrinos in the $W_L-W_L$ channel. These seesaw dominance mechanisms are applicable in the extensions of the SM and high, intermediate, or low scale left-right gauge theories with or without their SO(10) origin. Other recent works on the applications of this mechanism covering dark matter and leptogenesis are noted..
