Geometry-free neutrino masses in curved spacetime

The seesaw-induced neutrino mass is discussed in a generic class of curved spacetime, including the flat and warped extra dimensions. For Majorana masses in the bulk and on the boundary, the exact forms of seesaw-induced masses are derived by using the Kaluza-Klein mode expansion and the lepton number violating correlator for bulk fermion. It is found that the neutrino mass is determined without the knowledge of wave functions and whole background geometry when the metric factor is fixed on the boundary, e.g. by solving the hierarchy problem.
