Abstract:
A five-dimensional seesaw framework is analyzed with the
lepton-number-violating propagator of bulk right-handed
neutrinos. That can bypass summing up the effects of heavy Majorana
particles whose masses and wavefunctions are not exactly known. The
propagator method makes it easier to evaluate the seesaw-induced
neutrino mass for various boundary conditions of bulk neutrinos and in
a general background geometry, including the warped extra dimension. It
is also found that the higher-dimensional seesaw gives a natural
framework for the inverse seesaw suppression of low-energy neutrino masses.
