Restoration of Parity Symmetry through Presymmetry

TL;DR

This paper proposes that presymmetry, a hidden symmetry in particle physics, can restore parity symmetry in the standard model, linking it to left-right symmetry and the nature of neutrinos, with testable experimental implications.

Contribution

It demonstrates that presymmetry can restore parity symmetry and supports left-right symmetry, providing a new perspective on neutrino properties and symmetry restoration in particle physics.

Findings

Presymmetry underpins the restoration of parity symmetry.

Left-right symmetric residual presymmetry is essential for parity restoration.

The nature of neutrinos (Dirac or Majorana) distinguishes between scenarios.

Abstract

Presymmetry, the hidden symmetry underlying the charge and generational patterns of quarks and leptons, is utilized for repairing the left-right asymmetry of the standard model with Dirac neutrinos. It is shown that the restoration of parity is consequent with an indispensable left-right symmetric residual presymmetry. Thus, presymmetry substantiates left-right symmetry and the experimental search for the latter is the test of the former, with the nature of neutrinos as a crucial feature that can distinguish the left-right symmetry alone and its combination with presymmetry. This phenomenological implication is in accordance with the fact that Majorana neutrinos are usually demanded in the first case, but forbidden in the second.
