It was recently proposed that the electroweak hierarchy problem is absent if the generation of the Higgs potential stems exclusively from quantum effects of heavy right-handed neutrinos which can also generate active neutrino masses via the type-I seesaw mechanism. Hence, in this framework dubbed the neutrino option, the tree-level scalar potential is assumed to vanish at high energies. Such a scenario therefore lends itself particularly well to be embedded in a classically scale-invariant theory. In this paper we perform a survey of models featuring conformal symmetry at the high scale. We find that the minimal framework compatible with the neutrino option requires the Standard Model to be extended by two real scalar singlet fields in addition to right-handed neutrinos. The spontaneous breaking of scale invariance, which induces the dynamical generation of Majorana masses for the right-handed neutrinos, is triggered by renormalization group effects. We identify the parameter space of the model for which a phenomenologically viable Higgs potential and neutrino masses are generated, and for which all coupling constants remain in the perturbative regime up to the Planck scale.

The Neutrino Option is a scenario where the Higgs mass is generated at the same time as neutrino masses in the type-I seesaw model. This framework provides a dynamical origin for the scalar potential of the Standard Model and suggests a new approach
to the hierarchy problem. Here we review the preliminary analysis of Ref. [1], that showed the viability of this scenario, as well as the improved study of Ref. [2], that led to a better identification of the region of the parameter space where the Neutrino Option can be realized. We find that experimental constraints from both Higgs and neutrino physics can be accommodated introducing 2 heavy Majorana neutrinos with mass $M_1simeq M_2sim 0.5 - 10$ PeV and Yukawa couplings to the lepton doublet of order $ 10^{-4}-10^{-2}$, assuming that at the scale $M$ the classical Higgs potential is approximately conformal, with a quartic Higgs coupling $lambda_0sim 0.01-0.05$. Specifying the light neutrino mass ordering, the ratio $M_2/M_1$ or a given value of the top quark mass identifies narrower ranges for all the parameters. Although no further signature of the Neutrino Option is generally predicted at the currently accessible energy scales, conformal UV completions have been proposed, that could be tested e.g. via detection of gravitational waves. Leptogenesis can also be successfully realized in this scenario, that intriguingly ties together the breaking of the conformal and electroweak symmetries with the violation of lepton number.
We examine the compatibility between the Neutrino Option, in which the electroweak scale is generated by PeV mass type I seesaw Majorana neutrinos, and leptogenesis. We find the Neutrino Option is consistent with resonant leptogenesis. Working within
the minimal seesaw scenario with two heavy Majorana neutrinos $N_{1,2}$, which form a pseudo-Dirac pair, we explore the viable parameter space. We find that the Neutrino Option and successful leptogenesis are compatible in the cases of a neutrino mass spectrum with normal (inverted) ordering for $1.2 times 10^6 < M text{ (GeV)} < 8.8 times 10^6$ ($2.4 times 10^6 < M text{ (GeV)} < 7.4 times 10^6$), with $M = (M_1 + M_2)/2$ and $M_{1,2}$ the masses of $N_{1,2}$. Successful leptogenesis requires that $Delta M/M equiv (M_2 - M_1)/M sim 10^{-8}$. We further show that leptogenesis can produce the baryon asymmetry of the Universe within the Neutrino Option scenario when the requisite CP violation in leptogenesis is provided exclusively by the Dirac or Majorana low energy CP violation phases of the PMNS matrix.
We revise the unireps. of $U(2,2)$ describing conformal particles with continuous mass spectrum from a many-body perspective, which shows massive conformal particles as compounds of two correlated massless particles. The statistics of the compound (b
oson/fermion) depends on the helicity $h$ of the massless components (integer/half-integer). Coherent states (CS) of particle-hole pairs (excitons) are also explicitly constructed as the exponential action of exciton (non-canonical) creation operators on the ground state of unpaired particles. These CS are labeled by points $Z$ ($2times 2$ complex matrices) on the Cartan-Bergman domain $mathbb D_4=U(2,2)/U(2)^2$, and constitute a generalized (matrix) version of Perelomov $U(1,1)$ coherent states labeled by points $z$ on the unit disk $mathbb D_1=U(1,1)/U(1)^2$. Firstly we follow a geometric approach to the construction of CS, orthonormal basis, $U(2,2)$ generators and their matrix elements and symbols in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space $mathcal H_lambda(mathbb D_4)$ of analytic square-integrable holomorphic functions on $mathbb D_4$, which carries a unitary irreducible representation of $U(2,2)$ with index $lambdainmathbb N$ (the conformal or scale dimension). Then we introduce a many-body representation of the previous construction through an oscillator realization of the $U(2,2)$ Lie algebra generators in terms of eight boson operators with constraints. This particle picture allows us for a physical interpretation of our abstract mathematical construction in the many-body jargon. In particular, the index $lambda$ is related to the number $2(lambda-2)$ of unpaired quanta and to the helicity $h=(lambda-2)/2$ of each massless particle forming the massive compound.
The question of whether classically conformal modifications of the standard model are consistent with experimental obervations has recently been subject to renewed interest. The method of Gildener and Weinberg provides a natural framework for the stu
dy of the effective potential of the resulting multi-scalar standard model extensions. This approach relies on the assumption of the ordinary loop hierarchy $lambda_text{s} sim g^2_text{g}$ of scalar and gauge couplings. On the other hand, Andreassen, Frost and Schwartz recently argued that in the (single-scalar) standard model, gauge invariant results require the consistent scaling $lambda_text{s} sim g^4_text{g}$. In the present paper we contrast these two hierarchy assumptions and illustrate the differences in the phenomenological predictions of minimal conformal extensions of the standard model.
We investigate a 5d gauge theory on $S^1$ with point interactions. The point interactions describe extra boundary conditions and provide three generations, the charged lepton mass hierarchy, the lepton flavor mixing and tiny degenerated neutrino mass
es after choosing suitable boundary conditions and parameters. The existence of the restriction in the flavor mixing, which appears from the configuration of the extra dimension, is one of the features of this model. Tiny Yukawa couplings for the neutrinos also appears without the see-saw mechanism nor symmetries in our model. The magnitude of CP violation in the leptons can be a prediction and is consistent with the current experimental data.
