Abstract
The specific transformation used to define the Majorana fermions in the conventional seesaw mechanism, and customarily identified as "charge conjugation", is not supported by a consistent unitary operator and thus it leads to mathematical (operatorial) ambiguities. It also fails as a classical transformation law in a Lorentz invariant field theory. To distinguish it from the standard charge conjugation symmetry, it has been named pseudo C-symmetry. The problematic aspects of pseudo-C transformation are circumvented in the seesaw mechanism if one uses Pauli-Guersey (or Bogoliubov-type) transformations to convert the class of Majorana neutrinos defined in terms of Weyl fields only by CP, to another class defined in terms of chiral fermions, with proper C, P and CP properties. Open problems regarding the nature of neutrino masses and Weinberg's dimension 5 operator will also be discussed.
