Abstract
We obtain a neutrino spectrum within a left-right symmetric framework by invoking a singular double seesaw mechanism. Higgs doublets are employed to break and three additional fermions, singlets under the left-right symmetric gauge group, are included. The introduction of a singularity into the singlet fermion Majorana mass matrix results in a light neutrino sector of three neutrinos containing predominantly , , separated from two neutrinos containing a small component. The resulting active-sterile mixing in the mixing matrix is specified once the mass eigenvalues and the submatrix corresponding to the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (PMNS) mixing matrix are known.
