The second Higgs doublet 1206011015840 can be avoided by introduc-ing instead a double charged Higgs singlet 119896++ which couplesto the single charged one by the trilinear coupling 119896++ℎminusℎminusand to the right handed charged leptons singlets 119897minus

masses via two-loop quantum effects by what is known as theZee-Babu mechanism [21 22]
More examples of generation of neutrino masses viaquantum effects can be found in the systematic study pre-sented in [23]
This situationmotivates us to perform an extensive analy-sis of the lepton number symmetry in the most relevant 3-3-1models In particular we are interested in the gauging awaymechanism of the Majoron that the so-called economicalmodel presents due to the subtle connection between thelepton number generator 119871 and one of the 119878119880(3)
119871generators
This paper is organized as follows In Section 2 we reviewthe charge assignment and the gauge boson content of the 3-3-1 models in general in Section 3 the four possibilities forlepton number violation in the context of theminimal versionof the 3-3-1 model are presented and in Section 4 we classifyall the 3-3-1 models without exotic electric charges and repeatthe analysis presented in Section 3 but now for the so-called3-3-1 model with right handed neutrinos Then in Section 5we do the general analysis for the 8 different 3-3-1 modelswithout exotic electric charges with 3 families In Section 6the so-called economical model is studied and finally ourconclusions are presented in Section 7

Some interesting extensions of the SM are based on the localgauge group 119878119880(3)

the weak sector of the SM is extended to 119878119880(3)119871otimes 119880(1)

Severalmodels for this gauge structure have been constructedso far

One of the main characteristics of this model is the factthat the lepton number 119871 is not a good quantum numberbecause both the charged lepton and its antiparticle are inthe same multiplet as a consequence 119871 does not commutewith the electroweak extended gauge symmetry
The assignment of 119871 starts with the SM assignments [26]

number violation in the context of this model are thus asfollows
(1) 119881119871119881= 0 and ⟨119878⟩ = 0This is theminimal 3-3-1 Pisano-
Pleitez-Frampton model where total lepton numberis conserved and neutrinos are massless particlesConsequently this version of the model is in conflictwith the existence of massive neutrinos
(2) 119881119871119881= 0 but ⟨1205900

is spontaneously broken leading to a triplet MajoronThis case has been analyzed in [28 29]
(3) 119881119871119881

nonzero masses for neutrinos can be generated fromquantum corrections
(4) The case for 119881119871119881

with a rich phenomenology whichmay include a lightpseudo Goldstone Majoron [30]

2 The diagonalization of
the former mass matrix produces two Dirac massive spinorswith masses at the GUT scale and three Weyl massless statesthat we can associate with the detected solar and atmosphericoscillating neutrinos
So up to this point the model has the potential tobe consistent with the neutrino phenomenology But thequestion is if the three Weyl states remain massless or if theymay pick up small radiative masses in the context of themodel or a simple extension of it something out of the reachof the analysis presented here
51 General Analysis for 3 Families Analysis similar tothe previous one has been carried through for the neutralfermion sector of the eight anomaly-free lepton structuresenumerated in Section 4The results are presented in Table 2
According to this table only models B and D fulfill thenatural condition of having 3 tree-level zero mass neutrinoswhich may pick up nonzero masses via radiative correctionswith or without the addition of new ingredients Some otherstructures may become realistic if new fields are addedandor if some Yukawa coupling constants are fine tuned tovery small values andor if discreet symmetrieswhich forbidsYukawa terms are imposed and so forth
Let us see this in the following example
52 The 3-3-1 Model with Exotic Electrons To see what kindof new ingredients are needed in order to provide masses tothe neutral fields in these 3-3-1 models without exotic electriccharges let us briefly view the situation for model B whichwas introduced in the literature for the first time in [37] Theneutral fermion sector for this model has been studied insome detail in [38 39] but the approach here is simpler
The anomaly-free fermion structure for thismodel is [37]

exotic electron fields 119894 = 1 2 for the first two quark families119886 = 1 2 3 is again the quark family index and there are twoexotic quarks with electric charge 23(119880
119894) and other one with
electric charge minus13(119863) This model does not contain righthanded neutrino fields
The gauge boson and scalar sectors for this model areexactly the same ones to that for the model with right handedneutrinos [33] but the big differences are that now the leptonnumber 119871 is a good quantum number of the model and thegauge bosons do not carry lepton number at all neither theexotic quarksThe scalars (120578 120588 120594) introduced have also119871 = 0the lepton number cannot be broken spontaneously and asa consequence the neutrinos remain massless even with theinclusion of the radiative corrections
In what follows and in order to simplify matters andmake this model more predictable we consider only the setof two scalar triplets 120594 and 120588 instead of the set of threetriplets proposed in the original paper [37] or themuchmorecomplex structure introduced in [38] Also let us take theVEV to be ⟨120594⟩119879 = (0 V 119881) and ⟨120588⟩119879 = (V

Since ⟨120601⟩ = (0 0 0) the new scalar fields are not ableto break spontaneously the lepton number But the point isthat the lepton symmetry is now explicitly broken in theLagrangian by a term in the scalar potential of the form120582(120601sdot120594)(120588

sdot120594)which violates lepton number by two units andturns on the Zee radiative mechanism in the context of this3-3-1 model with exotic electrons As a matter of fact all theprevious ingredients allow us to draw the diagram in Figure 1in the context of the field structure presented so far
Although the scalar sector has three independent fields(120594 120588 120601) its VEV structure is simpler than the one proposedin the original paper [37]
Neutrino masses in the context of the model analyzed inthis section were studied for the first time in [41] The maindifference between that paper and this one is that in [41] andin order to implement the Zee-Babu mechanism [18 19 21]for generating neutrino mass terms a double charged Higgsscalar 119878119880(3)
119871singlet 119896++ sim (1 1 2) was used instead of our
120601 scalar triplet which is the new and main ingredient of ouranalysis So both papers address the same problem from twodifferent points of view
6 The Economical 3-3-1 Model
The model was introduced for the first time [40 42] and thequark and lepton content corresponds to the 3-3-1model withright handed neutrinos presented above but the scalar sectoris modified becoming minimal in the sense that only twoscalar triplets (with a modified VEV structure) are used inorder to break the symmetry They are

This model has been the subject of several recent studies[42ndash44] and it has the peculiarity that the lepton number 119871 isspontaneously broken due to the fact that 119871(1205940
2) = 2
Since the scalar sector is very simple now the model ishighly predictable As amatter of fact the full scalar potentialconsists only of the following six terms [40]

A simple calculation shows that both L and the leptonnumber 119871 are conserved by 119881(120594 120588) and also by the fullLagrangian except for some of the following Yukawa inter-actions which induce masses for the fermions

A variant of this model was considered in [45] where thefermion mass spectrum was studied with the inclusion of a1198852discrete symmetry which excludes the LNV interactions
in the Yukawa potential in (27) For this variant of the modelL is conserved through the entire Lagrangian the leptonnumber 119871 is only spontaneous violated by 119881LNV in (28) andthe would be Majoron 119860

But there remains the question of the quantum effectsA careful analysis shows that the conclusion in [46] relatedwith the quark mass matrices is true that is the inclusion ofall the one-loop diagrams with the proper Yukawa couplingsstill leaves the quark mass matrices with determinant equal

to zero So contrary to what is stated in [42 47] theone-loop diagrams are not able by themselves to providea consistent mass spectrum for the quarks in the contextof this economical model But it does not mean that thereis a remanent 119880(1) symmetry in the full Lagrangian as itis erroneously stated in [46] (in fact in [47] it is clearlyproved that such a 119880(1) symmetry does not exist at all) Thesolution to this puzzle and to the controversy raised between[46 47] lies in the two-loop quantum effects which providesa consistent quark mass spectrum via Babu type mechanisms[21] But this analysis lies outside the scope of this paper andit will be presented elsewhere
To conclude this section let us mention that the versionof this economical 3-3-1 model developed in the context ofthe model with right handed neutrinos can be extended toany one of the eight 3 family models presented in Section 4
7 Conclusions
The main motivation of our study was to investigate theneutrino mass spectrum in the framework of the local gaugestructure 119878119880(3)
119888otimes 119878119880(3)
119871otimes 119880(1)
119909
To summarize we have carried out an extensive analysisof the lepton number symmetry in the context of the bestknown versions of the 3-3-1 model It is interesting to remarkthat in one of these versions namely the so-called economicalmodel one explicitly finds the quite unusual situation of thegauging away of the would beMajoron providing in this waythe longitudinal polarization component to a now massivegauge field
This rare but quite unusual mechanism is related to thefact that the lepton number generator 119871 is connected with the1205828generator of 119878119880(3)
119871 as shown in (8)

masses are generated by one-loop quantum effects and theunwanted Majoron is not present
The second Higgs doublet 1206011015840 can be avoided by introduc-ing instead a double charged Higgs singlet 119896++ which couplesto the single charged one by the trilinear coupling 119896++ℎminusℎminusand to the right handed charged leptons singlets 119897minus

of the form 119897minus1198771198621198971015840minus
119877119896++ generating in this way Majorana small
masses via two-loop quantum effects by what is known as theZee-Babu mechanism [21 22]
More examples of generation of neutrino masses viaquantum effects can be found in the systematic study pre-sented in [23]
This situationmotivates us to perform an extensive analy-sis of the lepton number symmetry in the most relevant 3-3-1models In particular we are interested in the gauging awaymechanism of the Majoron that the so-called economicalmodel presents due to the subtle connection between thelepton number generator 119871 and one of the 119878119880(3)
119871generators
This paper is organized as follows In Section 2 we reviewthe charge assignment and the gauge boson content of the 3-3-1 models in general in Section 3 the four possibilities forlepton number violation in the context of theminimal versionof the 3-3-1 model are presented and in Section 4 we classifyall the 3-3-1 models without exotic electric charges and repeatthe analysis presented in Section 3 but now for the so-called3-3-1 model with right handed neutrinos Then in Section 5we do the general analysis for the 8 different 3-3-1 modelswithout exotic electric charges with 3 families In Section 6the so-called economical model is studied and finally ourconclusions are presented in Section 7

the weak sector of the SM is extended to 119878119880(3)119871otimes 119880(1)

Severalmodels for this gauge structure have been constructedso far

One of the main characteristics of this model is the factthat the lepton number 119871 is not a good quantum numberbecause both the charged lepton and its antiparticle are inthe same multiplet as a consequence 119871 does not commutewith the electroweak extended gauge symmetry
The assignment of 119871 starts with the SM assignments [26]

Notice that119883119894and119884 are bi-leptoquarks and119870+119870minus119870++ and
119870minusminus are bi-lepton gauge bosons Finally the physical gauge
bosons related to the neutral currents of the model have 119871 =0
It is interesting to notice that the above lepton numbers ofthe individual components of eachmultiplet can bewritten as[27]

whereL is a global symmetry of the Lagrangian which is notbroken by theVEV and is related to the following assignmentL(120595

The former analysis shows that since 119871(1205780 1205940 1205880 12059002) =
0 the only place where the 119871 number can be spontaneouslyviolated is in 1205900
1 but it may be explicitly violated in the scalar
potential As a matter of fact a term like

number violation in the context of this model are thus asfollows
(1) 119881119871119881= 0 and ⟨119878⟩ = 0This is theminimal 3-3-1 Pisano-
Pleitez-Frampton model where total lepton numberis conserved and neutrinos are massless particlesConsequently this version of the model is in conflictwith the existence of massive neutrinos
(2) 119881119871119881= 0 but ⟨1205900
1⟩ = 0 In this case the lepton number
is spontaneously broken leading to a triplet MajoronThis case has been analyzed in [28 29]
(3) 119881119871119881
= 0 and ⟨12059001⟩ = 0 119871 is violated explicitly and
nonzero masses for neutrinos can be generated fromquantum corrections
(4) The case for 119881119871119881
= 0 and ⟨12059001⟩ = 0 is also possible
with a rich phenomenology whichmay include a lightpseudo Goldstone Majoron [30]

2 The diagonalization of
the former mass matrix produces two Dirac massive spinorswith masses at the GUT scale and three Weyl massless statesthat we can associate with the detected solar and atmosphericoscillating neutrinos
So up to this point the model has the potential tobe consistent with the neutrino phenomenology But thequestion is if the three Weyl states remain massless or if theymay pick up small radiative masses in the context of themodel or a simple extension of it something out of the reachof the analysis presented here
51 General Analysis for 3 Families Analysis similar tothe previous one has been carried through for the neutralfermion sector of the eight anomaly-free lepton structuresenumerated in Section 4The results are presented in Table 2
According to this table only models B and D fulfill thenatural condition of having 3 tree-level zero mass neutrinoswhich may pick up nonzero masses via radiative correctionswith or without the addition of new ingredients Some otherstructures may become realistic if new fields are addedandor if some Yukawa coupling constants are fine tuned tovery small values andor if discreet symmetrieswhich forbidsYukawa terms are imposed and so forth
Let us see this in the following example
52 The 3-3-1 Model with Exotic Electrons To see what kindof new ingredients are needed in order to provide masses tothe neutral fields in these 3-3-1 models without exotic electriccharges let us briefly view the situation for model B whichwas introduced in the literature for the first time in [37] Theneutral fermion sector for this model has been studied insome detail in [38 39] but the approach here is simpler

The gauge boson and scalar sectors for this model areexactly the same ones to that for the model with right handedneutrinos [33] but the big differences are that now the leptonnumber 119871 is a good quantum number of the model and thegauge bosons do not carry lepton number at all neither theexotic quarksThe scalars (120578 120588 120594) introduced have also119871 = 0the lepton number cannot be broken spontaneously and asa consequence the neutrinos remain massless even with theinclusion of the radiative corrections
In what follows and in order to simplify matters andmake this model more predictable we consider only the setof two scalar triplets 120594 and 120588 instead of the set of threetriplets proposed in the original paper [37] or themuchmorecomplex structure introduced in [38] Also let us take theVEV to be ⟨120594⟩119879 = (0 V 119881) and ⟨120588⟩119879 = (V
1 0 0) (as in the
Economical 3-3-1 model [40] which is going to be studiednext) The Yukawa couplings of the leptons to this scalars arenow

Since ⟨120601⟩ = (0 0 0) the new scalar fields are not ableto break spontaneously the lepton number But the point isthat the lepton symmetry is now explicitly broken in theLagrangian by a term in the scalar potential of the form120582(120601sdot120594)(120588

sdot120594)which violates lepton number by two units andturns on the Zee radiative mechanism in the context of this3-3-1 model with exotic electrons As a matter of fact all theprevious ingredients allow us to draw the diagram in Figure 1in the context of the field structure presented so far
Although the scalar sector has three independent fields(120594 120588 120601) its VEV structure is simpler than the one proposedin the original paper [37]
Neutrino masses in the context of the model analyzed inthis section were studied for the first time in [41] The maindifference between that paper and this one is that in [41] andin order to implement the Zee-Babu mechanism [18 19 21]for generating neutrino mass terms a double charged Higgsscalar 119878119880(3)
119871singlet 119896++ sim (1 1 2) was used instead of our
120601 scalar triplet which is the new and main ingredient of ouranalysis So both papers address the same problem from twodifferent points of view
6 The Economical 3-3-1 Model
The model was introduced for the first time [40 42] and thequark and lepton content corresponds to the 3-3-1model withright handed neutrinos presented above but the scalar sectoris modified becoming minimal in the sense that only twoscalar triplets (with a modified VEV structure) are used inorder to break the symmetry They are

This model has been the subject of several recent studies[42ndash44] and it has the peculiarity that the lepton number 119871 isspontaneously broken due to the fact that 119871(1205940
2) = 2
Since the scalar sector is very simple now the model ishighly predictable As amatter of fact the full scalar potentialconsists only of the following six terms [40]

A simple calculation shows that both L and the leptonnumber 119871 are conserved by 119881(120594 120588) and also by the fullLagrangian except for some of the following Yukawa inter-actions which induce masses for the fermions

A variant of this model was considered in [45] where thefermion mass spectrum was studied with the inclusion of a1198852discrete symmetry which excludes the LNV interactions

But there remains the question of the quantum effectsA careful analysis shows that the conclusion in [46] relatedwith the quark mass matrices is true that is the inclusion ofall the one-loop diagrams with the proper Yukawa couplingsstill leaves the quark mass matrices with determinant equal

to zero So contrary to what is stated in [42 47] theone-loop diagrams are not able by themselves to providea consistent mass spectrum for the quarks in the contextof this economical model But it does not mean that thereis a remanent 119880(1) symmetry in the full Lagrangian as itis erroneously stated in [46] (in fact in [47] it is clearlyproved that such a 119880(1) symmetry does not exist at all) Thesolution to this puzzle and to the controversy raised between[46 47] lies in the two-loop quantum effects which providesa consistent quark mass spectrum via Babu type mechanisms[21] But this analysis lies outside the scope of this paper andit will be presented elsewhere
To conclude this section let us mention that the versionof this economical 3-3-1 model developed in the context ofthe model with right handed neutrinos can be extended toany one of the eight 3 family models presented in Section 4
7 Conclusions
The main motivation of our study was to investigate theneutrino mass spectrum in the framework of the local gaugestructure 119878119880(3)
119888otimes 119878119880(3)
119871otimes 119880(1)
119909
To summarize we have carried out an extensive analysisof the lepton number symmetry in the context of the bestknown versions of the 3-3-1 model It is interesting to remarkthat in one of these versions namely the so-called economicalmodel one explicitly finds the quite unusual situation of thegauging away of the would beMajoron providing in this waythe longitudinal polarization component to a now massivegauge field
This rare but quite unusual mechanism is related to thefact that the lepton number generator 119871 is connected with the1205828generator of 119878119880(3)
119871 as shown in (8)

For the scalars 119871 is assigned by inspection of the Yukawacoupling constants and one finds

Notice that119883119894and119884 are bi-leptoquarks and119870+119870minus119870++ and
119870minusminus are bi-lepton gauge bosons Finally the physical gauge
bosons related to the neutral currents of the model have 119871 =0
It is interesting to notice that the above lepton numbers ofthe individual components of eachmultiplet can bewritten as[27]
119871 =21205828
radic3+L119868

whereL is a global symmetry of the Lagrangian which is notbroken by theVEV and is related to the following assignmentL(120595

119886 119889119888

The former analysis shows that since 119871(1205780 1205940 1205880 12059002) =
0 the only place where the 119871 number can be spontaneouslyviolated is in 1205900
1 but it may be explicitly violated in the scalar
potential As a matter of fact a term like

8unbroken Then the four possibilities of lepton
number violation in the context of this model are thus asfollows
(1) 119881119871119881= 0 and ⟨119878⟩ = 0This is theminimal 3-3-1 Pisano-
Pleitez-Frampton model where total lepton numberis conserved and neutrinos are massless particlesConsequently this version of the model is in conflictwith the existence of massive neutrinos
(2) 119881119871119881= 0 but ⟨1205900
1⟩ = 0 In this case the lepton number
is spontaneously broken leading to a triplet MajoronThis case has been analyzed in [28 29]
(3) 119881119871119881
= 0 and ⟨12059001⟩ = 0 119871 is violated explicitly and
nonzero masses for neutrinos can be generated fromquantum corrections
(4) The case for 119881119871119881
= 0 and ⟨12059001⟩ = 0 is also possible
with a rich phenomenology whichmay include a lightpseudo Goldstone Majoron [30]

2 The diagonalization of
the former mass matrix produces two Dirac massive spinorswith masses at the GUT scale and three Weyl massless statesthat we can associate with the detected solar and atmosphericoscillating neutrinos
So up to this point the model has the potential tobe consistent with the neutrino phenomenology But thequestion is if the three Weyl states remain massless or if theymay pick up small radiative masses in the context of themodel or a simple extension of it something out of the reachof the analysis presented here
51 General Analysis for 3 Families Analysis similar tothe previous one has been carried through for the neutralfermion sector of the eight anomaly-free lepton structuresenumerated in Section 4The results are presented in Table 2
According to this table only models B and D fulfill thenatural condition of having 3 tree-level zero mass neutrinoswhich may pick up nonzero masses via radiative correctionswith or without the addition of new ingredients Some otherstructures may become realistic if new fields are addedandor if some Yukawa coupling constants are fine tuned tovery small values andor if discreet symmetrieswhich forbidsYukawa terms are imposed and so forth
Let us see this in the following example
52 The 3-3-1 Model with Exotic Electrons To see what kindof new ingredients are needed in order to provide masses tothe neutral fields in these 3-3-1 models without exotic electriccharges let us briefly view the situation for model B whichwas introduced in the literature for the first time in [37] Theneutral fermion sector for this model has been studied insome detail in [38 39] but the approach here is simpler

119894) and other one with
electric charge minus13(119863) This model does not contain righthanded neutrino fields
The gauge boson and scalar sectors for this model areexactly the same ones to that for the model with right handedneutrinos [33] but the big differences are that now the leptonnumber 119871 is a good quantum number of the model and thegauge bosons do not carry lepton number at all neither theexotic quarksThe scalars (120578 120588 120594) introduced have also119871 = 0the lepton number cannot be broken spontaneously and asa consequence the neutrinos remain massless even with theinclusion of the radiative corrections
In what follows and in order to simplify matters andmake this model more predictable we consider only the setof two scalar triplets 120594 and 120588 instead of the set of threetriplets proposed in the original paper [37] or themuchmorecomplex structure introduced in [38] Also let us take theVEV to be ⟨120594⟩119879 = (0 V 119881) and ⟨120588⟩119879 = (V

Since ⟨120601⟩ = (0 0 0) the new scalar fields are not ableto break spontaneously the lepton number But the point isthat the lepton symmetry is now explicitly broken in theLagrangian by a term in the scalar potential of the form120582(120601sdot120594)(120588

sdot120594)which violates lepton number by two units andturns on the Zee radiative mechanism in the context of this3-3-1 model with exotic electrons As a matter of fact all theprevious ingredients allow us to draw the diagram in Figure 1in the context of the field structure presented so far
Although the scalar sector has three independent fields(120594 120588 120601) its VEV structure is simpler than the one proposedin the original paper [37]
Neutrino masses in the context of the model analyzed inthis section were studied for the first time in [41] The maindifference between that paper and this one is that in [41] andin order to implement the Zee-Babu mechanism [18 19 21]for generating neutrino mass terms a double charged Higgsscalar 119878119880(3)
119871singlet 119896++ sim (1 1 2) was used instead of our
120601 scalar triplet which is the new and main ingredient of ouranalysis So both papers address the same problem from twodifferent points of view
6 The Economical 3-3-1 Model
The model was introduced for the first time [40 42] and thequark and lepton content corresponds to the 3-3-1model withright handed neutrinos presented above but the scalar sectoris modified becoming minimal in the sense that only twoscalar triplets (with a modified VEV structure) are used inorder to break the symmetry They are

This model has been the subject of several recent studies[42ndash44] and it has the peculiarity that the lepton number 119871 isspontaneously broken due to the fact that 119871(1205940
2) = 2
Since the scalar sector is very simple now the model ishighly predictable As amatter of fact the full scalar potentialconsists only of the following six terms [40]

A simple calculation shows that both L and the leptonnumber 119871 are conserved by 119881(120594 120588) and also by the fullLagrangian except for some of the following Yukawa inter-actions which induce masses for the fermions

outline of the main results in [40] important for our presentdiscussion are as follows

120594
The other two CP even scalars become the SM Higgsboson and one extra Higgs boson with a heavy massof order 119881 respectively
(iii) In the charged scalar sector (120588plusmn2 120594plusmn

Counting degrees of freedom tell us that there are in 120594 and120588 twelve ones namely three CP even three CP odd and sixcharged ones Eight of them are eaten up by the eight gaugebosons 119882plusmn 119870plusmn 1198700 1198700 119885 and 1198851015840 Four scalars remain asphysical states one of them being the SM Higgs scalar
Since 119871 is explicitly broken in the context of this modelthe most outstanding result in our analysis is that thewould be pseudo Goldstone Majoron 119860

electrically neutral scalar with 119871 = 2 has been eaten up by(1198700

A variant of this model was considered in [45] where thefermion mass spectrum was studied with the inclusion of a1198852discrete symmetry which excludes the LNV interactions
in the Yukawa potential in (27) For this variant of the modelL is conserved through the entire Lagrangian the leptonnumber 119871 is only spontaneous violated by 119881LNV in (28) andthe would be Majoron 119860
120594is gauge away eaten up by (1198700 +

119871implies the spontaneous
violation of119871 via (8) something that it is now allowed becausethe fermion sector for119871 is vector like and thus nonanomalous

But there remains the question of the quantum effectsA careful analysis shows that the conclusion in [46] relatedwith the quark mass matrices is true that is the inclusion ofall the one-loop diagrams with the proper Yukawa couplingsstill leaves the quark mass matrices with determinant equal

to zero So contrary to what is stated in [42 47] theone-loop diagrams are not able by themselves to providea consistent mass spectrum for the quarks in the contextof this economical model But it does not mean that thereis a remanent 119880(1) symmetry in the full Lagrangian as itis erroneously stated in [46] (in fact in [47] it is clearlyproved that such a 119880(1) symmetry does not exist at all) Thesolution to this puzzle and to the controversy raised between[46 47] lies in the two-loop quantum effects which providesa consistent quark mass spectrum via Babu type mechanisms[21] But this analysis lies outside the scope of this paper andit will be presented elsewhere
To conclude this section let us mention that the versionof this economical 3-3-1 model developed in the context ofthe model with right handed neutrinos can be extended toany one of the eight 3 family models presented in Section 4
7 Conclusions
The main motivation of our study was to investigate theneutrino mass spectrum in the framework of the local gaugestructure 119878119880(3)
119888otimes 119878119880(3)
119871otimes 119880(1)
119909
To summarize we have carried out an extensive analysisof the lepton number symmetry in the context of the bestknown versions of the 3-3-1 model It is interesting to remarkthat in one of these versions namely the so-called economicalmodel one explicitly finds the quite unusual situation of thegauging away of the would beMajoron providing in this waythe longitudinal polarization component to a now massivegauge field
This rare but quite unusual mechanism is related to thefact that the lepton number generator 119871 is connected with the1205828generator of 119878119880(3)
119871 as shown in (8)

2 The diagonalization of
the former mass matrix produces two Dirac massive spinorswith masses at the GUT scale and three Weyl massless statesthat we can associate with the detected solar and atmosphericoscillating neutrinos
So up to this point the model has the potential tobe consistent with the neutrino phenomenology But thequestion is if the three Weyl states remain massless or if theymay pick up small radiative masses in the context of themodel or a simple extension of it something out of the reachof the analysis presented here
51 General Analysis for 3 Families Analysis similar tothe previous one has been carried through for the neutralfermion sector of the eight anomaly-free lepton structuresenumerated in Section 4The results are presented in Table 2
According to this table only models B and D fulfill thenatural condition of having 3 tree-level zero mass neutrinoswhich may pick up nonzero masses via radiative correctionswith or without the addition of new ingredients Some otherstructures may become realistic if new fields are addedandor if some Yukawa coupling constants are fine tuned tovery small values andor if discreet symmetrieswhich forbidsYukawa terms are imposed and so forth
Let us see this in the following example
52 The 3-3-1 Model with Exotic Electrons To see what kindof new ingredients are needed in order to provide masses tothe neutral fields in these 3-3-1 models without exotic electriccharges let us briefly view the situation for model B whichwas introduced in the literature for the first time in [37] Theneutral fermion sector for this model has been studied insome detail in [38 39] but the approach here is simpler

119894) and other one with
electric charge minus13(119863) This model does not contain righthanded neutrino fields
The gauge boson and scalar sectors for this model areexactly the same ones to that for the model with right handedneutrinos [33] but the big differences are that now the leptonnumber 119871 is a good quantum number of the model and thegauge bosons do not carry lepton number at all neither theexotic quarksThe scalars (120578 120588 120594) introduced have also119871 = 0the lepton number cannot be broken spontaneously and asa consequence the neutrinos remain massless even with theinclusion of the radiative corrections
In what follows and in order to simplify matters andmake this model more predictable we consider only the setof two scalar triplets 120594 and 120588 instead of the set of threetriplets proposed in the original paper [37] or themuchmorecomplex structure introduced in [38] Also let us take theVEV to be ⟨120594⟩119879 = (0 V 119881) and ⟨120588⟩119879 = (V

Since ⟨120601⟩ = (0 0 0) the new scalar fields are not ableto break spontaneously the lepton number But the point isthat the lepton symmetry is now explicitly broken in theLagrangian by a term in the scalar potential of the form120582(120601sdot120594)(120588

sdot120594)which violates lepton number by two units andturns on the Zee radiative mechanism in the context of this3-3-1 model with exotic electrons As a matter of fact all theprevious ingredients allow us to draw the diagram in Figure 1in the context of the field structure presented so far
Although the scalar sector has three independent fields(120594 120588 120601) its VEV structure is simpler than the one proposedin the original paper [37]
Neutrino masses in the context of the model analyzed inthis section were studied for the first time in [41] The maindifference between that paper and this one is that in [41] andin order to implement the Zee-Babu mechanism [18 19 21]for generating neutrino mass terms a double charged Higgsscalar 119878119880(3)
119871singlet 119896++ sim (1 1 2) was used instead of our
120601 scalar triplet which is the new and main ingredient of ouranalysis So both papers address the same problem from twodifferent points of view
6 The Economical 3-3-1 Model
The model was introduced for the first time [40 42] and thequark and lepton content corresponds to the 3-3-1model withright handed neutrinos presented above but the scalar sectoris modified becoming minimal in the sense that only twoscalar triplets (with a modified VEV structure) are used inorder to break the symmetry They are

This model has been the subject of several recent studies[42ndash44] and it has the peculiarity that the lepton number 119871 isspontaneously broken due to the fact that 119871(1205940
2) = 2
Since the scalar sector is very simple now the model ishighly predictable As amatter of fact the full scalar potentialconsists only of the following six terms [40]

A simple calculation shows that both L and the leptonnumber 119871 are conserved by 119881(120594 120588) and also by the fullLagrangian except for some of the following Yukawa inter-actions which induce masses for the fermions

Since 119871 is explicitly broken in the context of this modelthe most outstanding result in our analysis is that thewould be pseudo Goldstone Majoron 119860

A variant of this model was considered in [45] where thefermion mass spectrum was studied with the inclusion of a1198852discrete symmetry which excludes the LNV interactions
in the Yukawa potential in (27) For this variant of the modelL is conserved through the entire Lagrangian the leptonnumber 119871 is only spontaneous violated by 119881LNV in (28) andthe would be Majoron 119860

But there remains the question of the quantum effectsA careful analysis shows that the conclusion in [46] relatedwith the quark mass matrices is true that is the inclusion ofall the one-loop diagrams with the proper Yukawa couplingsstill leaves the quark mass matrices with determinant equal

to zero So contrary to what is stated in [42 47] theone-loop diagrams are not able by themselves to providea consistent mass spectrum for the quarks in the contextof this economical model But it does not mean that thereis a remanent 119880(1) symmetry in the full Lagrangian as itis erroneously stated in [46] (in fact in [47] it is clearlyproved that such a 119880(1) symmetry does not exist at all) Thesolution to this puzzle and to the controversy raised between[46 47] lies in the two-loop quantum effects which providesa consistent quark mass spectrum via Babu type mechanisms[21] But this analysis lies outside the scope of this paper andit will be presented elsewhere
To conclude this section let us mention that the versionof this economical 3-3-1 model developed in the context ofthe model with right handed neutrinos can be extended toany one of the eight 3 family models presented in Section 4
7 Conclusions
The main motivation of our study was to investigate theneutrino mass spectrum in the framework of the local gaugestructure 119878119880(3)
119888otimes 119878119880(3)
119871otimes 119880(1)
119909
To summarize we have carried out an extensive analysisof the lepton number symmetry in the context of the bestknown versions of the 3-3-1 model It is interesting to remarkthat in one of these versions namely the so-called economicalmodel one explicitly finds the quite unusual situation of thegauging away of the would beMajoron providing in this waythe longitudinal polarization component to a now massivegauge field
This rare but quite unusual mechanism is related to thefact that the lepton number generator 119871 is connected with the1205828generator of 119878119880(3)
119871 as shown in (8)

2 The diagonalization of
the former mass matrix produces two Dirac massive spinorswith masses at the GUT scale and three Weyl massless statesthat we can associate with the detected solar and atmosphericoscillating neutrinos
So up to this point the model has the potential tobe consistent with the neutrino phenomenology But thequestion is if the three Weyl states remain massless or if theymay pick up small radiative masses in the context of themodel or a simple extension of it something out of the reachof the analysis presented here
51 General Analysis for 3 Families Analysis similar tothe previous one has been carried through for the neutralfermion sector of the eight anomaly-free lepton structuresenumerated in Section 4The results are presented in Table 2
According to this table only models B and D fulfill thenatural condition of having 3 tree-level zero mass neutrinoswhich may pick up nonzero masses via radiative correctionswith or without the addition of new ingredients Some otherstructures may become realistic if new fields are addedandor if some Yukawa coupling constants are fine tuned tovery small values andor if discreet symmetrieswhich forbidsYukawa terms are imposed and so forth
Let us see this in the following example
52 The 3-3-1 Model with Exotic Electrons To see what kindof new ingredients are needed in order to provide masses tothe neutral fields in these 3-3-1 models without exotic electriccharges let us briefly view the situation for model B whichwas introduced in the literature for the first time in [37] Theneutral fermion sector for this model has been studied insome detail in [38 39] but the approach here is simpler
The anomaly-free fermion structure for thismodel is [37]

where 119897 = 119890 120583 120591 is a lepton family index 119864minus119897stands for three
exotic electron fields 119894 = 1 2 for the first two quark families119886 = 1 2 3 is again the quark family index and there are twoexotic quarks with electric charge 23(119880
119894) and other one with
electric charge minus13(119863) This model does not contain righthanded neutrino fields
The gauge boson and scalar sectors for this model areexactly the same ones to that for the model with right handedneutrinos [33] but the big differences are that now the leptonnumber 119871 is a good quantum number of the model and thegauge bosons do not carry lepton number at all neither theexotic quarksThe scalars (120578 120588 120594) introduced have also119871 = 0the lepton number cannot be broken spontaneously and asa consequence the neutrinos remain massless even with theinclusion of the radiative corrections
In what follows and in order to simplify matters andmake this model more predictable we consider only the setof two scalar triplets 120594 and 120588 instead of the set of threetriplets proposed in the original paper [37] or themuchmorecomplex structure introduced in [38] Also let us take theVEV to be ⟨120594⟩119879 = (0 V 119881) and ⟨120588⟩119879 = (V
1 0 0) (as in the
Economical 3-3-1 model [40] which is going to be studiednext) The Yukawa couplings of the leptons to this scalars arenow

Since ⟨120601⟩ = (0 0 0) the new scalar fields are not ableto break spontaneously the lepton number But the point isthat the lepton symmetry is now explicitly broken in theLagrangian by a term in the scalar potential of the form120582(120601sdot120594)(120588
lowast
sdot120594)which violates lepton number by two units andturns on the Zee radiative mechanism in the context of this3-3-1 model with exotic electrons As a matter of fact all theprevious ingredients allow us to draw the diagram in Figure 1in the context of the field structure presented so far
Although the scalar sector has three independent fields(120594 120588 120601) its VEV structure is simpler than the one proposedin the original paper [37]
Neutrino masses in the context of the model analyzed inthis section were studied for the first time in [41] The maindifference between that paper and this one is that in [41] andin order to implement the Zee-Babu mechanism [18 19 21]for generating neutrino mass terms a double charged Higgsscalar 119878119880(3)
119871singlet 119896++ sim (1 1 2) was used instead of our
120601 scalar triplet which is the new and main ingredient of ouranalysis So both papers address the same problem from twodifferent points of view
6 The Economical 3-3-1 Model
The model was introduced for the first time [40 42] and thequark and lepton content corresponds to the 3-3-1model withright handed neutrinos presented above but the scalar sectoris modified becoming minimal in the sense that only twoscalar triplets (with a modified VEV structure) are used inorder to break the symmetry They are

This model has been the subject of several recent studies[42ndash44] and it has the peculiarity that the lepton number 119871 isspontaneously broken due to the fact that 119871(1205940
2) = 2
Since the scalar sector is very simple now the model ishighly predictable As amatter of fact the full scalar potentialconsists only of the following six terms [40]

Since 119871 is explicitly broken in the context of this modelthe most outstanding result in our analysis is that thewould be pseudo Goldstone Majoron 119860

A variant of this model was considered in [45] where thefermion mass spectrum was studied with the inclusion of a1198852discrete symmetry which excludes the LNV interactions
in the Yukawa potential in (27) For this variant of the modelL is conserved through the entire Lagrangian the leptonnumber 119871 is only spontaneous violated by 119881LNV in (28) andthe would be Majoron 119860

But there remains the question of the quantum effectsA careful analysis shows that the conclusion in [46] relatedwith the quark mass matrices is true that is the inclusion ofall the one-loop diagrams with the proper Yukawa couplingsstill leaves the quark mass matrices with determinant equal

to zero So contrary to what is stated in [42 47] theone-loop diagrams are not able by themselves to providea consistent mass spectrum for the quarks in the contextof this economical model But it does not mean that thereis a remanent 119880(1) symmetry in the full Lagrangian as itis erroneously stated in [46] (in fact in [47] it is clearlyproved that such a 119880(1) symmetry does not exist at all) Thesolution to this puzzle and to the controversy raised between[46 47] lies in the two-loop quantum effects which providesa consistent quark mass spectrum via Babu type mechanisms[21] But this analysis lies outside the scope of this paper andit will be presented elsewhere
To conclude this section let us mention that the versionof this economical 3-3-1 model developed in the context ofthe model with right handed neutrinos can be extended toany one of the eight 3 family models presented in Section 4
7 Conclusions
The main motivation of our study was to investigate theneutrino mass spectrum in the framework of the local gaugestructure 119878119880(3)
119888otimes 119878119880(3)
119871otimes 119880(1)

To summarize we have carried out an extensive analysisof the lepton number symmetry in the context of the bestknown versions of the 3-3-1 model It is interesting to remarkthat in one of these versions namely the so-called economicalmodel one explicitly finds the quite unusual situation of thegauging away of the would beMajoron providing in this waythe longitudinal polarization component to a now massivegauge field
This rare but quite unusual mechanism is related to thefact that the lepton number generator 119871 is connected with the1205828generator of 119878119880(3)
119871 as shown in (8)

exotic electron fields 119894 = 1 2 for the first two quark families119886 = 1 2 3 is again the quark family index and there are twoexotic quarks with electric charge 23(119880
119894) and other one with
electric charge minus13(119863) This model does not contain righthanded neutrino fields
The gauge boson and scalar sectors for this model areexactly the same ones to that for the model with right handedneutrinos [33] but the big differences are that now the leptonnumber 119871 is a good quantum number of the model and thegauge bosons do not carry lepton number at all neither theexotic quarksThe scalars (120578 120588 120594) introduced have also119871 = 0the lepton number cannot be broken spontaneously and asa consequence the neutrinos remain massless even with theinclusion of the radiative corrections
In what follows and in order to simplify matters andmake this model more predictable we consider only the setof two scalar triplets 120594 and 120588 instead of the set of threetriplets proposed in the original paper [37] or themuchmorecomplex structure introduced in [38] Also let us take theVEV to be ⟨120594⟩119879 = (0 V 119881) and ⟨120588⟩119879 = (V

Since ⟨120601⟩ = (0 0 0) the new scalar fields are not ableto break spontaneously the lepton number But the point isthat the lepton symmetry is now explicitly broken in theLagrangian by a term in the scalar potential of the form120582(120601sdot120594)(120588

Although the scalar sector has three independent fields(120594 120588 120601) its VEV structure is simpler than the one proposedin the original paper [37]
Neutrino masses in the context of the model analyzed inthis section were studied for the first time in [41] The maindifference between that paper and this one is that in [41] andin order to implement the Zee-Babu mechanism [18 19 21]for generating neutrino mass terms a double charged Higgsscalar 119878119880(3)
119871singlet 119896++ sim (1 1 2) was used instead of our
120601 scalar triplet which is the new and main ingredient of ouranalysis So both papers address the same problem from twodifferent points of view
6 The Economical 3-3-1 Model
The model was introduced for the first time [40 42] and thequark and lepton content corresponds to the 3-3-1model withright handed neutrinos presented above but the scalar sectoris modified becoming minimal in the sense that only twoscalar triplets (with a modified VEV structure) are used inorder to break the symmetry They are

This model has been the subject of several recent studies[42ndash44] and it has the peculiarity that the lepton number 119871 isspontaneously broken due to the fact that 119871(1205940
2) = 2
Since the scalar sector is very simple now the model ishighly predictable As amatter of fact the full scalar potentialconsists only of the following six terms [40]

A simple calculation shows that both L and the leptonnumber 119871 are conserved by 119881(120594 120588) and also by the fullLagrangian except for some of the following Yukawa inter-actions which induce masses for the fermions

Since 119871 is explicitly broken in the context of this modelthe most outstanding result in our analysis is that thewould be pseudo Goldstone Majoron 119860

A variant of this model was considered in [45] where thefermion mass spectrum was studied with the inclusion of a1198852discrete symmetry which excludes the LNV interactions
in the Yukawa potential in (27) For this variant of the modelL is conserved through the entire Lagrangian the leptonnumber 119871 is only spontaneous violated by 119881LNV in (28) andthe would be Majoron 119860

But there remains the question of the quantum effectsA careful analysis shows that the conclusion in [46] relatedwith the quark mass matrices is true that is the inclusion ofall the one-loop diagrams with the proper Yukawa couplingsstill leaves the quark mass matrices with determinant equal

to zero So contrary to what is stated in [42 47] theone-loop diagrams are not able by themselves to providea consistent mass spectrum for the quarks in the contextof this economical model But it does not mean that thereis a remanent 119880(1) symmetry in the full Lagrangian as itis erroneously stated in [46] (in fact in [47] it is clearlyproved that such a 119880(1) symmetry does not exist at all) Thesolution to this puzzle and to the controversy raised between[46 47] lies in the two-loop quantum effects which providesa consistent quark mass spectrum via Babu type mechanisms[21] But this analysis lies outside the scope of this paper andit will be presented elsewhere
To conclude this section let us mention that the versionof this economical 3-3-1 model developed in the context ofthe model with right handed neutrinos can be extended toany one of the eight 3 family models presented in Section 4
7 Conclusions
The main motivation of our study was to investigate theneutrino mass spectrum in the framework of the local gaugestructure 119878119880(3)
119888otimes 119878119880(3)
119871otimes 119880(1)
119909
To summarize we have carried out an extensive analysisof the lepton number symmetry in the context of the bestknown versions of the 3-3-1 model It is interesting to remarkthat in one of these versions namely the so-called economicalmodel one explicitly finds the quite unusual situation of thegauging away of the would beMajoron providing in this waythe longitudinal polarization component to a now massivegauge field
This rare but quite unusual mechanism is related to thefact that the lepton number generator 119871 is connected with the1205828generator of 119878119880(3)
119871 as shown in (8)

This model has been the subject of several recent studies[42ndash44] and it has the peculiarity that the lepton number 119871 isspontaneously broken due to the fact that 119871(1205940
2) = 2
Since the scalar sector is very simple now the model ishighly predictable As amatter of fact the full scalar potentialconsists only of the following six terms [40]
119881 (120594 120588) = 1205832

A simple calculation shows that both L and the leptonnumber 119871 are conserved by 119881(120594 120588) and also by the fullLagrangian except for some of the following Yukawa inter-actions which induce masses for the fermions

only candidate for a Majoron in this modelThe minimization of the scalar potential has been done

outline of the main results in [40] important for our presentdiscussion are as follows

120594
The other two CP even scalars become the SM Higgsboson and one extra Higgs boson with a heavy massof order 119881 respectively
(iii) In the charged scalar sector (120588plusmn2 120594plusmn

other two with 119871 = 0 eaten up by119882plusmn(iv) Two charged scalars remain as physical states
Counting degrees of freedom tell us that there are in 120594 and120588 twelve ones namely three CP even three CP odd and sixcharged ones Eight of them are eaten up by the eight gaugebosons 119882plusmn 119870plusmn 1198700 1198700 119885 and 1198851015840 Four scalars remain asphysical states one of them being the SM Higgs scalar
Since 119871 is explicitly broken in the context of this modelthe most outstanding result in our analysis is that thewould be pseudo Goldstone Majoron 119860

electrically neutral scalar with 119871 = 2 has been eaten up by(1198700

)radic2 the real part of the bi-lepton gauge boson Aclever way to avoid an unwanted Majoron
A variant of this model was considered in [45] where thefermion mass spectrum was studied with the inclusion of a1198852discrete symmetry which excludes the LNV interactions
in the Yukawa potential in (27) For this variant of the modelL is conserved through the entire Lagrangian the leptonnumber 119871 is only spontaneous violated by 119881LNV in (28) andthe would be Majoron 119860
120594is gauge away eaten up by (1198700 +
1198700
)radic2 Notice that being L a good quantum number thespontaneous violation of 119878119880(3)
119871implies the spontaneous
violation of119871 via (8) something that it is now allowed becausethe fermion sector for119871 is vector like and thus nonanomalous

But there remains the question of the quantum effectsA careful analysis shows that the conclusion in [46] relatedwith the quark mass matrices is true that is the inclusion ofall the one-loop diagrams with the proper Yukawa couplingsstill leaves the quark mass matrices with determinant equal

to zero So contrary to what is stated in [42 47] theone-loop diagrams are not able by themselves to providea consistent mass spectrum for the quarks in the contextof this economical model But it does not mean that thereis a remanent 119880(1) symmetry in the full Lagrangian as itis erroneously stated in [46] (in fact in [47] it is clearlyproved that such a 119880(1) symmetry does not exist at all) Thesolution to this puzzle and to the controversy raised between[46 47] lies in the two-loop quantum effects which providesa consistent quark mass spectrum via Babu type mechanisms[21] But this analysis lies outside the scope of this paper andit will be presented elsewhere
To conclude this section let us mention that the versionof this economical 3-3-1 model developed in the context ofthe model with right handed neutrinos can be extended toany one of the eight 3 family models presented in Section 4
7 Conclusions
The main motivation of our study was to investigate theneutrino mass spectrum in the framework of the local gaugestructure 119878119880(3)
119888otimes 119878119880(3)
119871otimes 119880(1)
119909
To summarize we have carried out an extensive analysisof the lepton number symmetry in the context of the bestknown versions of the 3-3-1 model It is interesting to remarkthat in one of these versions namely the so-called economicalmodel one explicitly finds the quite unusual situation of thegauging away of the would beMajoron providing in this waythe longitudinal polarization component to a now massivegauge field
This rare but quite unusual mechanism is related to thefact that the lepton number generator 119871 is connected with the1205828generator of 119878119880(3)
119871 as shown in (8)

to zero So contrary to what is stated in [42 47] theone-loop diagrams are not able by themselves to providea consistent mass spectrum for the quarks in the contextof this economical model But it does not mean that thereis a remanent 119880(1) symmetry in the full Lagrangian as itis erroneously stated in [46] (in fact in [47] it is clearlyproved that such a 119880(1) symmetry does not exist at all) Thesolution to this puzzle and to the controversy raised between[46 47] lies in the two-loop quantum effects which providesa consistent quark mass spectrum via Babu type mechanisms[21] But this analysis lies outside the scope of this paper andit will be presented elsewhere
To conclude this section let us mention that the versionof this economical 3-3-1 model developed in the context ofthe model with right handed neutrinos can be extended toany one of the eight 3 family models presented in Section 4
7 Conclusions
The main motivation of our study was to investigate theneutrino mass spectrum in the framework of the local gaugestructure 119878119880(3)
119888otimes 119878119880(3)
119871otimes 119880(1)
119909
To summarize we have carried out an extensive analysisof the lepton number symmetry in the context of the bestknown versions of the 3-3-1 model It is interesting to remarkthat in one of these versions namely the so-called economicalmodel one explicitly finds the quite unusual situation of thegauging away of the would beMajoron providing in this waythe longitudinal polarization component to a now massivegauge field
This rare but quite unusual mechanism is related to thefact that the lepton number generator 119871 is connected with the1205828generator of 119878119880(3)
119871 as shown in (8)
