Abstract
We investigate the algebraic structure of the most general neutrino mass Ha miltonian and place the seesaw mechanism in an algebraic framework. We show that this Hamiltonian can be written in terms of the generators of an Sp(4 ) algebra. The Pauli-Gursey transformation is an SU(2) rotation which is em bedded in this Sp(4) group. This SU(2) also generates the seesaw mechanism.
