Extended the model to include sterile neutrinos.
Provided a UV-complete theoretical foundation for neutrino mass mechanisms.
Abstract
Models of neutrinos and their mass generation by self-energy radiative corrections are formulated in an ultraviolet complete quantum field theory (UCQFT). A model of the three flavors of neutrinos as Majorana fermions is developed as the minimal model. A model incorporating an SU(2) singlet sterile neutrino can also be formulated.
