| contents | The Casas-Ibarra (CI) parametrization of the Yukawa coupling matrix of Majorana neutrinos is generalized by considering the exact seesaw relation and including non-unitarity of the $3 \times 3$ Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (PMNS) flavor mixing matrix. With the help of a full $6 \times 6$ Euler-like block description of the flavor structure for the seesaw mechanism, we find that the orthogonal matrix $\mathbb{O}$ in the CI parametrization can be expressed as $\mathbb{O}^{}_{ij} = \sqrt{M^{}_j/m^{}_i} \hspace{0.05cm} F^{}_{ij}$ with $m^{}_i$ and $M^{}_j$ being the masses of light and heavy Majorana neutrinos and $F^{}_{ij}$ consisting of the PMNS and active-sterile flavor mixing parameters (for $i, j = 1, 2, 3$). Assuming a specific pattern of $\mathbb{O}$ is therefore equivalent to imposing some special conditions on the seesaw parameter space. |
