A full parametrization of the 9 × 9 active-sterile flavor mixing matrix in the inverse or linear seesaw scenario of massive neutrinos

The inverse and linear seesaw scenarios are two typical extensions of the canonical seesaw mechanism, which contain much more sterile degrees of freedom but can naturally explain the smallness of three active neutrino masses at a sufficiently low energy scale (e.g., the TeV scale). To fully describe...
