The cascade seesaw scenario allows to implement a cancellation mechanism. We present one realization by the gauge group E_6 and two based on the discrete flavor symmetries T_7 and \Sigma(81). Higher-dimensional operators and the flavon potential are discussed.
As renormalization group (RG) effects can be important, we have investigated several models. The L_\mu-L_\tau symmetry in the standard seesaw model leads to quasi-degenerate neutrinos and thus to large RG corrections. Quantum corrections to the quark-lepton-complementarity relations are extensively discussed. In the MSSM, the RG effect is almost always positive. In the SM, however, there are sizable RG corrections due to the threshold effects which mainly lead to a rescaling of right-handed neutrino masses. The results are applied to the cancellation mechanism. The RG equations of the mixing parameters in the triplet seesaw are derived in terms of basis-independent quantities.
