    • A preliminary account of this work is given in P. Herczeg and R. N. Mohapatra, in The Vancouver Meeting, Particles and Fields '91, edited by D. Axen, D. Bryman, and M. Comyn (World Scientific, Singapore, 1992), Vol. 1, p. 572. The lower bounds on GM M bar and Gμ(e) we gave there are larger by about a factor of 3 than those given here. They were obtained by constraining m++ and m+ not only by the experimental value of the ρ1 parameter [see the text after Eq. (10)], but also by the vR-dependent theoretical bounds which follow from assuming B / R <= 104 in m02/ m++ 2= 1 / ( 1 + BR-1κ2vR-2) and m02/ m+2= 1 / ( 1 + 1/2 BR-1κ2vR-2). Although the latter bounds are reasonable theoretical constraints, we use now only the limits from the ρ1 parameter which are free from theoretical assumptions.

    • We note that if from the matrices U and V [defined after Eq. (4)] one is hierarchical, so will be the other, since the matrix K = U+V is known to be hierarchical.

    • For Ω h2 we have taken the upper bound in Ω h2<= 0.38 [Bludman (Ref. [6])]. For Ω h2= 1 our lower bounds for M ->M¯ and $μ+-> e+ν bareνmu would become smaller only by a factor of app 2. The cosmological bound holds in the form (3) provided that at the time of the decay the neutrinos are nonrelativistic and the Universe is matter dominated;

    • Inspection shows that the νμ-> νegamma lifetime from the contribution of the ΔL+- φ2+ loop (Babu and Mohapatra) can be short (possibly as short as app 4 times 104 sec for mνμ apeq 270 keV). However, radiative lifetimes short enough to satisfy the cosmological bound are excluded from mνμ >wig 100 eV by limits on radiative decays of neutrinos emitted by SN 1987A see

    • for mνμ the first term in Eq. (2) can therefore be neglected. An analysis of pertinent data yields vR>wig 1 TeV [, ] and, as we find [see Eq. (8)], mνμ >wig 35 keV. For values of m++ corresponding to our lower bounds on M ->M¯ for given $mνμ 's, the direct phenomenological bounds on | fee| and | fμμ | are not better than the above bounds.

    • If the mixing term is small relative to m̃φ2-&mtilde02, one has for Rφ- R apeq 1 (where Rphi is the Higgs potential parameter in m̃φ2apeq RφvR2) m02= R vR2- ( β prime )2κ2. In this case even for β prime = 1, ( vR)max would increase for mνμ = 270 keV and mνμ = 35 keV only by a factor of app 1.3 and app 4, respectively.
