Radiative origin of fermion mass hierarchy in left-right symmetric theory by Sudip Jana, Sophie Klett, Manfred Lindner, Rabindra N. Mohapatra

“…This approach does not require new discrete or global symmetries. Unlike other theories of this type that require the introduction of additional scalars, we employ the double seesaw mechanism within a left-right symmetric framework, which allows us to realize this scenario solely through gauge interactions.…”
