Neutrino Masses and Conformal Electro-Weak Symmetry Breaking

TL;DR

This paper explores how conformal symmetry breaking via dimensional transmutation could explain the electroweak scale and generate neutrino masses within models extending the Standard Model.

Contribution

It investigates the implications of conformal invariance and dimensional transmutation for neutrino mass generation, proposing a novel mechanism within this theoretical framework.

Findings

Dimensional transmutation can generate the electroweak scale without explicit mass terms.

Conformal symmetry breaking provides a natural origin for neutrino masses.

The approach links neutrino mass generation to the dynamics of symmetry breaking.

Abstract

Dimensional transmutation in classically conformal invariant theories may explain the electro-weak scale and the fact that so far nothing but the Standard Model (SM) particles have been observed. We discuss in this paper implications of this type of symmetry breaking for neutrino mass generation.
