Neutrino mass and charged lepton flavor violation in an extended left-right symmetric model

Abstract

We consider an U(1)Lμ−Lτ extended left-right symmetric gauge theory where the neutrino masses are generated through inverse seesaw mechanism. In this model the muon (g−2) anomaly is accounted for by the mediation of Zμτ, the gauge boson of U(1)Lμ−Lτ symmetry. The symmetries of the model require the light neutrino mass matrix to have a particular two-zero texture, which leads to non-trivial constraints in the minimum neutrino mass. In addition, the model predicts observable charged lepton flavor violation in μ−τ sector.
