Canonical Neutral Current Predictions From The Weak Electromagnetic Gauge Group SU(3) X U(1)
1980
A straightforward SU(3) x U(1) model in which there is effectively one new neutral-current parameter (denoted by R) is shown to give the canonical neutrino neutral-current predictions for all values of R. For small R the ''low-energy'' theory is essentially SU(2) x U(1) while for R of the order of one it has a much richer ''low-energy'' gauge-boson mass spectrum. Even in the latter case, the predicted e-d asymmetry agrees with experiment. It is interesting that the atomic-physics parity violation depends sensitively on R.

Simpson's neutrino and the singular seesaw
1991
We derive explicit forms for the neutrino and lepton "mixing-matrices" which describe the generic singular see-saw model. The dependence on the hierarchy parameter is contrasted with the non-singular case. Application is made to Simpson's 17 keV neutrino.

Comment On The Lepton Mixing Matrix
1980
The problem of finding a suitable parametrization for a nontrivial lepton mixing matrix is considered in the framework of the ''sequential'' Weinberg-Salam theory. It is noted that in the case of n lepton generations there are in fact n+1 different theories, corresponding to different numbers m of right-handed neutrino fields present in the Lagrangian. These (n,m) models conserve CP for leptonic couplings naturally only for m=0 or 1 when n > or = 3. These models would seem to be useful as self-consistent approximations for reducing the number of parameters in the experimental analysis of lepton mixing matrices.
Neutrinoless double-beta decay in SU(2) x U(1) theories
1982
It is shown that gauge theories give contributions to neutrinoless double-β decay [(ββ)0ν] which are not covered by the standard parametrizations. While probably small, their existence raises the question of whether the observation of (ββ)0ν implies the existence of a Majorana mass term for the neutrino. For a 'natural' gauge theory we argue that this is indeed the case.
