2 8 W Grimus et al / Physics Letters B 674 (009) 7 We show (in Section 3) that this type II seesaw mechanism for Higgs doublets may be nested inside various seesaw mechanisms We propose in particular a type II seesaw mechanism for Higgs doublets inside the usual type II seesaw mechanism for scalar triplets We develop (in Section 4) a multiply nested type II seesaw mechanism for many Higgs doublets which may mimic the Froggatt Nielsen mechanism [] This suggests new ways of explaining the relative smallness of some charged-fermion masses without the need for new heavy fermions as in the seesaw mechanism for Dirac fermions [3] In summary the message that we want to convey in this Letter is that by using the nesting of seesaw mechanisms a heavy mass scale m H many orders of magnitude larger than the electroweak scale m ew 00 GeV is not compelling; an m H just two or three orders of magnitude above m ew may suffice Type II seesaw mechanism for Higgs doublets Consider a model with several Higgs doublets φ j = (φ + j φ0 j )T j = n h The VEVs of the Higgs doublets are of the form ( ) 0 φ j 0 = () v j We assume that v m ew Our aim is to produce a seesaw mechanism to suppress v Wewritethescalarpotentialas n h V = μ j φ j φ j + (V l + V l ) + V r () j= We assume that μ < 0 and that μ m ew in order to generate a spontaneous symmetry breaking leading to v m ew Onthe other hand we assume that μ > 0 and that μ = m H m ew In Eq () V l represents some terms linear in φ which we assume to be present in V All the remainder of V ie everything but the mass terms for the Higgs doublets and the terms V l and V l linear in φ and φ respectively is denoted V r; in the simplest cases V r will consist only of quartic terms Inserting the VEVs into the potential one has n h V 0 = μ j v j + Av + A v + V r 0 (3) j= where A has the dimension of the cube of a mass Then despite the positiveness of μ a non-vanishing VEV v is induced approximately given by v A μ (4) The quantity A depends on the specific model It has to contain at least one v j v and this v j will in general be of order m ew If we assume that μ is the only parameter in the scalar potential of order m H then we expect A m3 ew In this case v m 3 ew /m H is suppressed by two powers of m ew over m H where m H is the scale of new physics Two Higgs doublets and a softly broken symmetry: In the original proposal [0] of the type II seesaw mechanism for Higgs doublets there were only two Higgs doublets and no other scalar multiplets A U() symmetry φ e iα φ (5) was softly broken in the scalar potential by V l = μ φ φ (6) Then v μ v μ (7) The VEV v alone must produce the W ± and Z 0 masses therefore v 74 GeV m ew We assume that μ = m H m ew and that μ m H where the symbol means not much larger than We may assume that μ m ew and then v is suppressed by two powers of m ew /m H relative to v 3 General two-higgs-doublet model: Actually one could dispense with any symmetry and consider the general two-higgs-doublet model employing the same assumptions as in the previous paragraph Then in V l not only the term of Eq (6) is present but also (φ φ )(φ φ ) (8) Therefore one has two sources which induce a non-zero v As discussed in [5] one obtains a suppression factor of v of the same order of magnitude as before Two Higgs doublets and a scalar singlet: If we dislike soft symmetry breaking the simplest alternative is to introduce into the theory a complex scalar gauge singlet χ with VEV v χ TheU() symmetry (5) becomes φ e iα φ χ e iα χ (9) Then V l = mφ φ χ (0) v m v χ v μ () There is a large degree of arbitrariness in the orders of magnitude of m and of the VEV of χ but we may conservatively assume them to be of order m ew Then once again v /v (m ew /m H ) Symmetry Z instead of U(): Instead of the U() symmetry (5) originally used in [0] one may employ the weaker symmetry φ φ χ χ () In this case χ may as a matter of fact be a real field The symmetry () allows for a richer scalar potential with extra terms (φ φ ) and χ 4 and their Hermitian conjugates Three Higgs doublets: A more complicated model has three Higgs doublets and a symmetry Z 4 : φ φ φ 3 iφ 3 (3) Note that we now assume μ j < 0 and μ j m ew for both j = 3 Then V l = λ(φ 3 φ )(φ 3 φ ) (4) V r = λ (φ φ ) + (5) v λ v v 3 μ (6) The original proposal [0] was a type II seesaw mechanism for Higgs doublets within a type I seesaw mechanism A later suggestion [] was a type II seesaw mechanism for Higgs doublets within a type III seesaw mechanism A related scenario with the assumption μ = 0 was proposed in [4] 3 As a matter of fact since V l in this case breaks softly the symmetry (5) it would be technically natural to assume μ m ew aswasdonein[0] andthen v would be even smaller

3 W Grimus et al / Physics Letters B 674 (009) 7 9 In this case v and v 3 are necessarily of order m ew (or smaller) and one needs no extra assumption to conclude that v m 3 ew /m H Before we proceed to investigate the nesting of seesaw mechanisms we want to mention some simple applications of a seesaw mechanism for Higgs doublets Suppose that φ has Yukawa couplings only to the ν R and φ to all charged fermionic gauge-su() singlets Then with the small VEV v we have the option of a seesaw mechanism for Dirac neutrinos if we dispense with a ν R Majorana mass term We would then use v m 3 ew /m H ev where we assume ev to be the scale of the light-neutrino masses obtaining the estimate m H 0 33 ev = 0 75 GeV We could also try to explain the smallness of the down-type-quark masses as compared to the up-type-quark masses by enforcing the coupling of φ to the up-quark singlets and φ to the down-quark singlets in the Yukawa couplings Assuming v v m ( ) b mew (7) m t m H we find for the mass of the heavy Higgs doublet m H 6m ew 3 Nesting of seesaw mechanisms 3 Type I seesaw mechanism ThetypeIseesawformulais[] M ν = M T D M R M D (8) where M ν is the effective ν L Majorana mass matrix M R is the Majorana mass matrix of the ν R and M D is the Dirac mass matrix connecting the ν R to the ν L This Dirac mass matrix is generated by Yukawa couplings L Yukawa = ν R φ YD L + Hc (9) where Y is a matrix (in flavour space) of Yukawa coupling constants D L = (ν L l L ) T are SU() doublets of left-handed leptons φ is the Higgs doublet whose VEV is suppressed by a type II seesaw mechanism and φ iτ φ In order for the Yukawa couplings of the ν R in Eq (9) to involve only the Higgs doublet φ one needs to suitably extend the symmetries U() Z or Z 4 of the previous section In the case of the U() symmetry one must add D L e iα D L and l R e iα l R to the assignment (9) (the l R are the right-handed charged-lepton singlets) [0] In the case of the Z or Z 4 symmetries one must add ν R ν R to the assignments () and (3) respectively It follows from Eq (9) that M D = v Y hence M ν = v Y T M R Y As before we assume the matrix elements of M ν to be of order ev If we allowed the VEV v to be of order the electroweak scale m ew 00 GeV and assuming the Yukawa coupling constants to be of order unity we would find the scale m R of M R to be of order 0 3 GeV as advertised in the introduction Lowering m R to the TeV scale while keeping v m ew requires (assuming no cancellation mechanism) the Yukawa couplings to be of order 0 5 as also advertised in the introduction But if v m 3 ew /m H is suppressed by a type II seesaw mechanism for Higgs doublets as first proposed in [0] thenev m 6 ew /(m Rm 4 H ) even with Yukawa coupling constants of order unity This represents a fivefold suppression of the neutrino masses Assuming for simplicity m R = m H oneobtains m H ev 6 TeV (0) 3 Type II seesaw mechanism In the type II seesaw mechanism [] a scalar gauge-su() triplet ( δ Δ = + / δ ++ ) δ 0 δ + / () is introduced such that the ν L acquire Majorana masses through the VEV of the neutral component of the scalar triplet: ( ) 0 0 Δ 0 = () v Δ 0 This VEV is induced by the term linear in Δ in the scalar potential and is suppressed by the high mass of the scalar triplet In order for the terms linear in Δ to involve only the Higgs doublet φ whose VEV is suppressed by the type II seesaw mechanism discussed in Section weintroduceaz 4 symmetry 4 : φ iφ Δ Δ (3) We write the scalar potential as V = μ j φ j φ j + μ Δ Tr(Δ Δ) + ( μ φ φ + ) Hc j= + (μ φ Δ φ + Hc) + V q (4) where V q consists only of quartic terms The Z 4 symmetry is softly broken by operators of dimension two Instead of a softly broken symmetry for the type II seesaw mechanism for the VEV of φ one could employ one of the alternatives given in Section Inorderto have a Dirac mass term for charged leptons and a Majorana mass term for ν L generated by VEVs of φ and Δ respectively one needs to extend the Z 4 symmetry in Eq (3) to D L id L and l R il R Now we proceed according to Section On the one hand we assume that μ < 0 and that μ m ew in order to generate a spontaneous symmetry breaking with v m ew On the other hand we require μ > 0 μ Δ > 0 and μ μ Δ m H m ew (5) The terms linear in φ and Δ in Eq (4) generate non-vanishing VEVs v and v Δ respectively Using the result for v of Eq (7) the VEV of Δ is given by v Δ μ v μ Δ μ (μ ) v μ 4 (6) μ Δ As before there is a degree of arbitrariness in the orders of magnitude of μ and μ but we may assume them to be of order m ew Then v Δ is suppressed by six powers of m ew /m H relative to v Keeping the Yukawa coupling constants of order unity this represents a sixfold suppression of the neutrino masses Assuming again the matrix elements of M ν to be of order ev which amounts to v Δ evwitheq(5) we estimate m H ev 7TeV (7) By raising the mass of the φ to 0 TeV one shifts μ Δ below TeV and the δ ++ whose mass is just μ Δ could possibly be within reach of the LHC see for instance [7] and the references therein 4 In [6] a softly broken U() symmetry has been used instead together with assumptions on the soft-breaking parameters in the scalar potential

4 0 W Grimus et al / Physics Letters B 674 (009) 7 4 Multiple nesting of type II seesaw mechanisms for Higgs doublets In this section we show that a multiple nesting of successive type II seesaw mechanisms for several Higgs doublets is able to realize Froggatt Nielsen [] suppression factors by using only Higgs doublets and renormalizable interactions As an example we consider the hierarchy of charged-fermion masses: m t m ew m b m c m τ GeV m s m μ 0 GeV m u m d 0005 GeV m e GeV (8) This hierarchy suggests that the charged-fermion mass matrices may involve a suppression factor ɛ /0 according to the pattern ( ɛ ɛ 3 ) ( ɛ ɛ ɛ 3 ) M u ɛ ɛ 3 M d ɛ ɛ ɛ 3 ɛ ɛ 3 ɛ ɛ ɛ 3 ( ɛ ɛ ɛ 4 ) M l ɛ ɛ ɛ 4 (9) ɛ ɛ ɛ 4 The suppression factors in the various elements of these mass matrices may be explained àla Froggatt Nielsen [] as the result of a spontaneously broken horizontal symmetry We suggest to view them instead as the product of a nested type II seesaw mechanism for Higgs doublets 5 We postulate the existence of six Higgs doublets φ 6 where φ and φ have VEVs of order m ew and Yukawa couplings which generate the first column of M u φ 3 has VEV of order ɛm ew and generates the second column of M u and the first columns of M d and M l φ 4 has VEV of order ɛ m ew and its Yukawa couplings yield the second columns of M d and M l and so on We implement the hierarchy of VEVs in the following way The scalar potential is of the form 6 ( V = j= μ j + λ j φ j φ j ) φ j φ j + j<k(λ jk φ j φ jφ k φ k + λ jk φ j φ kφ k φ j) + V t + V t (30) We assume that μ and μ are both negative and of order m ew while μ 36 are positive and of order m H with(m ew/m H ) ɛ 6 The VEV of φ 3 is induced out of the VEVs of φ and φ via a term κ φ φ φ φ 3 (3) in V t Thisleadstov 3 κ v v /μ 3 Since the coupling constant κ v 3 is of order m 3 ew /m H Afterwards the VEV ofφ 4 is induced by a further term in V t κ φ φ 3φ φ 4 (3) This leads to v 4 κ v v 3 /μ 4 m5 ew /m4 H The VEVs v 5 and v 6 are successively induced by terms 5 A similar idea was already put forward in [8] and subsequently combined with the leptonic model of [0] in a supersymmetric way [9] 6 With ɛ /0 this produces only a slight difference between m ew and m H This certainly constitutes a drawback of the present model κ 3 φ φ 4φ φ 5 (33) κ 4 φ φ 5φ φ 6 (34) respectively in V t 7 InordertomakesurethatthereareinV t no other terms which might induce larger (unsuppressed) VEVs we must impose a symmetry S on the theory For simplicity we assume that symmetry to be Abelian: S : φ j σ j φ j (35) with σ j =for j = 6 We assume of course the six factors σ 6 to be all different In order for the four terms (3) (34) to be allowed we must assume σ = σ σ 3 σ = σ 3σ 4 σ = σ 4σ 5 σ = σ 5σ 6 (36) Therefore σ 3 = σ σ 4 = σ 3 σ σ σ 5 = σ 4 σ σ 3 6 = σ 5 σ 4 (37) It follows that the bilinears φ j φ k ( j < k) transform as φ φ : φ φ 3: φ φ 4: φ φ 5: φ φ 6: φ 5 φ 6: σ σ σ φ σ φ 3: σ σ σ 3 φ σ 3 φ σ 4: φ σ 3 φ σ 4 4: σ 4 σ 3 φ σ 3 φ σ 4 5: φ σ 4 3 φ σ 5: φ σ 4 φ σ 6 5: σ 6 σ 5 φ σ 5 φ σ 4 6: φ σ 4 3 φ σ 6 6: φ σ 6 4 φ σ 6: σ σ 8 σ 8 (38) We assume that all the factors in this list are different from unity else there would be (at least) two Higgs doublets transforming identically under S and also different from each other so that there are as few terms as possible in V t Thisrequires σ p σ p for p = 4 (39) Therefore we must choose for S a groupz n with n > 4 It is enough to choose S = Z 5 with φ ωφ φ ω φ φ 3 φ 3 φ 4 ω 4 φ 4 φ 5 ω 3 φ 5 φ 6 ω 6 φ 6 (40) where ω exp(iπ/5) From the list(38) we learn that the full V t is V t = κ φ φ φ φ 3 + κ φ φ 3φ φ 4 + κ 3 φ φ 4φ φ 5 + κ 4 φ φ 5φ φ 6 + κ 5 φ 3 φ φ 3 φ 5 + κ 6 φ 4 φ φ 4 φ 6 + κ 7 φ 3 φ 6φ 4 φ 5 + κ 7 φ 3 φ 5φ 4 φ 6 + κ 8 φ φ 6φ 4 φ 3 + κ 8 φ φ 3φ 4 φ 6 + κ 9 φ φ 5φ 3 φ 4 + κ 9 φ φ 4φ 3 φ 5 (4) It is easy to check that with this V t VEVs with the right powers of the suppression factor ɛ (m ew /m H ) are generated One obtains 7 Instead of the terms (3) (34) we might imagine other possibilities The present text thus constitutes only a proof of the viability of the mechanism
