We consider the minimal 3-3-1 model with a heavy scalar sextet and realize, at the tree level, an effective dimension-five interaction that contributes to the mass of the charged leptons. In this case the charged leptons masses arise from a sort of type-II seesawlike mechanism while the neutrino masses are generated by a type-I mechanism. We also show that the parameters giving the correct lepton masses also accommodate the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakawaga-Sakata matrix. We give the scalar mass spectra of the model and analyze under which conditions the fields in the scalar sextet are heavy even with small or zero vacuum expectation values. We also show the conditions under which it is possible to have a stable (bounded from below) potential and also a global minimum.

A simple extension of the Standard Model (SM), based on the gauge group $SU(3)_Cotimes SU(3)_Lotimes U(1)_Y$ with $Y$ being the hypercharge, is considered. We show that, by imposing an approximate global $SU(2)_Ltimes SU(2)_R$ custodial symmetry at the SM energy scale, the $Z-Z$ mixing is absent at tree level and the value of the $rho$ parameter can be kept close to one. Tree-level flavor-changing neutral currents are also reduced to three particles, namely $Z$, a CP-odd Higgs and a CP-even Higgs. The model predicts new leptons with electric charges of $pm 1/2e$ and new quarks with $pm 1/6e$ charges as well as new gauge and scalar bosons with $pm 1/2e$ charges. Electric charge conservation requires that one of them must be stable. Their masses are unfortunately free parameters.
We show that in the minimal 3-3-1 model the flavor changing neutral currents (FCNCs) do not impose necessarily strong constraints on the mass of the $Z^prime$ of the model if we also consider the neutral scalar contributions to such processes, like the neutral mesons mass difference and rare semileptonic decays. We first obtain numerical values for all the mixing matrices of the model i.e., the unitary matrices that rotate the left- and right-handed quarks in each charge sector which give the correct mass of all the quarks and the CKM mixing matrix. Then, we find that there is a range of parameters in which the neutral scalar contributions to these processes may interfere with those of the $Z^prime$, implying this vector boson may be lighter than it has been thought.
In the minimal 3-3-1 model charged leptons come in a non-diagonal basis. Moreover the Yukawa interactions of the model lead to a non-hermitian charged lepton mass matrix. In other words, the minimal 3-3-1 model presents a very complex lepton mixing. In view of this we check rigorously if the possible textures of the lepton mass matrices allowed by the minimal 3-3-1 model can lead or not to the neutrino mixing required by the recent experiments in neutrino oscillation.
In this paper we present the mass matrices and mass eigenstates for the CP-even neutral scalars in the minimal 331 model (m331) and its self-interactions, showing that the m331 automatically reproduces the Higgs potential of the Standard Model. We also present a method to generate numerical solutions for the quarks and leptons masses and their mixings, which we apply to study FCNC processes, being to calculate the contributions of all exotic neutral particles of the m331 to the mass differences in meson oscillations.
We calculate the electric dipole moment (EDM) for the neutron in the framework of the minimal 3-3-1 model. We assume that the only source of $CP$ violation arises from a complex trilinear coupling constant and two complex vacuum expectation values. However, from the constraint equations obtained from the potential, only one physical phase remains. We find some constraints on the possible values of this phase and masses of the exotic particles.
