Common origin of inverse seesaw and baryon asymmetry

arXiv:1907.09444 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2019.135118

Abstract

In the inverse seesaw scenario, several fermion singlets have a small Majorana mass term. We show such Majorana masses can be suppressed by some heavy fermion and/or Higgs singlets after a global symmetry is spontaneously broken. These interactions can also accommodate a leptogenesis mechanism to explain the cosmic baryon asymmetry.
