Description

It has previously been shown that in left-right symmetric type I+II seesaw mechanism, an eight-fold degeneracy among the mass matrices of the heavy right handedneutrinos M_R exist. We discriminate among the degenerate solutions, using stability properties of the solutions and their ability to lead to successful baryogenesis via leptogenesis as criteria. Thus, we can partially lift the eight-fold degeracy. We find in particular that viable leptogenesis is generically possible for four out of the eight solutions.
