| contents | In this paper, we introduce the Wigner parametrization of unitary matrices and then apply it to the full description of canonical seesaw models, which extend the Standard Model with three right-handed neutrino singlets and account simultaneously for tiny Majorana neutrino masses and the baryon number asymmetry in the Universe. In the Wigner parametrization, the strong hierarchy between the electroweak scale $Λ^{}_{\rm EW} \approx 10^2~{\rm GeV}$ and the seesaw scale $Λ^{}_{\rm SS} \approx 10^{14}~{\rm GeV}$ is generally captured by three small rotation angles $\{\vartheta^{}_1, \vartheta^{}_2, \vartheta^{}_3\} \approx {\cal O}(Λ^{}_{\rm EW}/Λ^{}_{\rm SS})$, and all the remaining parameters reside in four $3\times 3$ unitary matrices. The connection between the Wigner parametrization and those in the literature is also established. |
