dc.descriptionWe discuss the necessity of a right-handed Weyl neutrino due to the vector-like phenomenon of the regularized Standard Model. It is shown that this right-handed neutrino is decoupled from low energies as a free particle, and Dirac neutrino masses are very small. We suggest gauge-invariant couplings between down quarks and charged leptons so that charged leptons acquire masses without extra Goldstone modes. By examining Schwinger-Dyson equations for lepton self-energy functions, we show that the neutrinos get their Dirac masses via explicit symmetry breakings that attribute to the mixing between neutrinos and charged leptons. An analysis of these Dyson equations gives the four relationships between inter-generation mixing angles and lepton masses.
