Right-handed leptonic mixing and enhancement band in left-right symmetry
Abstract
Left-right (LR) symmetric theories predict right-handed charged currents whose flavor structure encodes the realization of parity. While the right-handed quark mixing matrix closely tracks its left-handed counterpart, the leptonic sector with purely Dirac neutrinos has remained structurally unclear. We show that, in contrast to the quark case, parity in the Dirac leptonic sector admits a localized, branch-dependent enhancement band in which right-handed–left-handed (RH-LH) misalignment becomes parametrically large despite small parity breaking. We derive analytic solutions of the LR consistency equation and demonstrate that the interplay between spontaneous parity violation and spectral near degeneracies leads to a qualitatively new pattern of right-handed mixing. This establishes the Dirac leptonic sector of the minimal LR model as a predictive and structurally distinct regime.
