Abstract

Recently, Nishiura and the author proposed a unified quark-lepton mass matrix model under a family symmetry U(3)×U(3). The model can give excellent parameter fitting to the observed quark and neutrino data. The model has a reasonable basis as far as the quark sector, but, in the neutrino sector, the form of the right-handed neutrino mass matrix MR does not have a theoretical basis; that is, it was nothing but a phenomenological assumption. In this paper, it is pointed out that the form of MR is originated in the structure of Majorana mass matrix (4×4 matrix) for the left-handed fields ((νL)i,(νRc)i,(NL)α,(NRc)α) where νi (i=1, 2, 3) and Nα (α=1, 2, 3) are U(3)-family and U(3)-family triplets, respectively.
