Abstract: The Standard Model (SM) with one right-handed neutrino per generation is revisited with presymmetry being the global U(1)BL symmetry of an electroweak theory of leptons and quarks with initially postulated symmetric fractional charges. The cancellation of gauge anomalies and the non-perturbative normalization of lepton charges proceed through the mixing of local and topological charges, the global BL measuring the induced charge associated with a unit of topological charge, and the mathematical replacement of the original fractional charges with the experimentally observed ones. The U(1)BL symmetry of the SM with Dirac neutrinos is seen as a residual presymmetry. High-scale and low-scale seesaw mechanisms proposed to explain the mass of neutrinos are examined from the perspective of presymmetry, be they of Majorana or pseudo-Dirac type. We find that the tiny mass splitting in pseudo-Dirac neutrinos and the mass of heavy neutrinos ride on the opposite ends of the seesaw. We show that pseudo-Dirac neutrinos contain extra sterile neutrinos with imprints of presymmetry and for heavy ones we get constraints favoring the low-scale linear seesaw over the inverse variant.
