The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
The authors construct the low-energy theory by removing the heavy states in two different orders and find the same final Lagrangian, containing only Standard Model fields plus the Majoron. The key result is that a single vacuum expectation value sets the mass of the heavy mediator, the mass of the radial mode, and all Majoron couplings. Therefore the model does not predict the size of any individual observable, which depends on unknown couplings, but it does predict relations among observables.
Two relations stand out. In the fermionic Seesaw types, the invisible decay of the Higgs into two Majorons is locked to the universal suppression of all Higgs couplings, so measuring one fixes the other. In the leptonic sector, the Majoron coupling to charged leptons is fixed by the measured non-unitarity of the neutrino mixing matrix, and the decay muon to electron plus Majoron gives a bound on the lepton-number breaking scale around 6 TeV, comparable to the bound from the invisible Higgs width. Neutrinoless double beta decay with Majoron emission is, by contrast, suppressed by the tiny neutrino mass and offers no sensitivity. The framework is falsifiable through Higgs precision measurements and charged-lepton flavor violation.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
Because a single vacuum expectation value fixes the mediator masses, the radial mode and every Majoron coupling, these models predict relations among observables rather than their individual size, and it is these relations that are testable. The invisible Higgs width is locked to the universal suppression of the Higgs couplings, while the Majoron-lepton coupling is fixed by the measured non-unitarity of the leptonic mixing matrix, and the two independently give comparable lower bounds on the same lepton-number breaking scale, of order 1 to 10 TeV.
Load-bearing premise
The matching is performed at tree level. The paper's discriminators rely on the absence of certain operators at dimension 7, but the conclusions state that going to one loop would generate the operators that are absent here. If one-loop effects populate those entries, for example a Majoron-lepton operator of Type II or a J to gamma gamma coupling in Type I and II, the identification power claimed for the pattern of presences and absences would be reduced.

Referee Report
Summary. This paper constructs effective field theories for Type I, II, and III seesaw models extended by a complex scalar whose global U(1) charge is identified with lepton number, so that spontaneous symmetry breaking produces a Majoron. For each model the authors integrate out the radial mode and the seesaw mediator in both possible orders, obtaining seven intermediate EFTs and three low-energy JSMEFT Lagrangians, and they report agreement operator by operator. The main physics claim is that a single vacuum expectation value vφ fixes the mediator mass, the radial-mode mass and couplings, and every Majoron coupling, so that observables are predicted as correlations rather than as individual rates. The paper derives parameter-free relations such as Γ(h→JJ) = (1−κV)m_h³/(32πvφ²), a lepton-sector lock C_{JHL} = C_U/(2vφ), and a J→γγ coupling in Type III only, and uses these to translate bounds on the invisible Higgs width and on µ→eJ into independent lower bounds vφ ≳ O(1–10) TeV. It also argues that neutrinoless double beta decay with Majoron emission has no sensitivity in any of these models.
Significance. If the tree-level results are representative, this is a valuable systematic contribution: it provides a unified operator dictionary for Majoron seesaw models, a nontrivial cross-check of matching order independence, compact resummations such as Eqs. (2.25) and (2.64), and falsifiable correlations that go beyond generic ALP/EFT analyses. The negative statement about 0νββ with Majoron emission is a useful reallocation of experimental attention, and the two independent lower bounds on vφ from Higgs and muon data are concrete and testable. The paper is also unusually candid about its own limitations, which makes the assessment easier. The main significance, however, is conditional: the identifying power rests on the pattern of present and absent operators at tree level, and the manuscript explicitly concedes that one-loop effects generate the absent operators, so the central falsifiability claim needs either a loop-level control or a substantial reframing.
major comments (3)
- [§5 and Tab. 5] The central discriminators are based on operator absences and coefficient equalities that are derived at tree level, yet §5 concedes that 'going to one loop would generate the operators that are absent here.' In particular, Q_{JHL} is absent in Type II at tree level, J→γγ is absent in Types I and II, and the locks C_{JHL}=C_U/(2vφ) (Eq. (3.3)/(3.6)) and Γ(h→JJ)=(1−κV)m_h³/(32πvφ²) (Eq. (4.5)) are tree-level statements. Because no estimate is given of the size of the one-loop coefficients or of the running between M_N, m_ρ, and the weak scale, the claim that the framework is falsifiable through the pattern of presences and absences is not yet supported. The authors should either perform or estimate the one-loop matching, or explicitly restrict all falsifiability claims to a leading-order regime and explain why the missing entries remain numerically negligible there.
- [Abstract, §1, and §2.3.3] The abstract and introduction claim that a single vev fixes the mediator mass in all three seesaw realizations, but this is not true for the Type II bare-mass regime: in §2.3.3, M_Δ=µ_3 with µ_3 > v_φ, and the triplet mass is explicitly independent of lepton-number breaking. The body of the paper is careful in places (e.g., §4 refers to 'the β_2 part of M_Δ²'), but the unqualified abstract statement overgeneralizes and, more importantly, the 'relations among observables' claim for Type II in that regime has a different parameter dependence. The wording should be corrected so that the central correlation claims are stated only where the single-scale logic actually applies.
- [§1, §3.4] The paper asserts that it provides the 'complete set of effective operators up to dimension 7' and uses Tab. 5 as the basis for discriminating between seesaw types, but no proof or independent enumeration of the JSMEFT operator basis is given. Reference to existing νSMEFT bases is partial, and no Hilbert-series or equivalent completeness argument appears. Since the absence of an operator is load-bearing for the identification power, completeness of the basis is not a cosmetic issue. The authors should either provide a completeness argument or explicitly state that their list is complete only with respect to the assumed operator set and then assess how an omitted operator would affect the discriminators.
minor comments (3)
- [References [172, 173]] References [172] and [173] are incomplete: they lack collaboration names and arXiv identifiers or publication details, which will make them difficult to locate.
- [§3.4, Eq. (3.12)] The reduction of the Type III unitarity operator to the ratio C_Hl^(1):C_Hl^(3)=3:1 plus Q_eH is stated without derivation; a short appendix entry or an explicit Fierz identity chain would improve verifiability.
- [§4.2.1, Eq. (4.6)] The numerical lower bound v_φ > 6.3 TeV uses the current upper bound on BR_inv rather than a measurement of a non-zero width; the sentence should clarify that this is an exclusion bound on the parameter combination, not a determination of v_φ.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: the correlations are derived from a UV Lagrangian and explicit matching, with tree-level truncation as a stated limitation.
full rationale
No circularity found. The paper's central claims—that a single vev v_phi fixes the mediator masses, the radial-mode mass and couplings, and every Majoron coupling, producing testable relations among observables—follow from the explicit UV Lagrangians in Sec. 2 and from the tree-level matching performed in Secs. 2–3. The Wilson coefficients, including C_Hbox = -beta1^2/(8 lambda1 m_rho^2), C_JH = -beta1/(2 m_rho^2), and C_JHL = C_U/(2 v_phi), are computed from the model rather than fitted to the observables they later constrain. Relations such as Eq. (4.2), Eq. (4.5), Eq. (4.7), Eq. (3.12), and the non-unitarity lock are parameter-free algebraic consequences of the matching, so they are genuine correlations and not inputs renamed as predictions. The phenomenological bounds in Sec. 4 use external data (BR_inv, kappa_V, T, kappa_W, and non-unitarity upper bounds) as inputs, not as parameters chosen to reproduce the Majoron observables. The authors' self-citations, e.g., [145] for the Type II scalar-sector setup and [100,105] for HNL-ALP collider studies, provide context and prior model definitions, but the load-bearing derivation is performed in the paper itself and does not reduce to those citations. The one in-scope limitation is explicitly stated in Sec. 5: 'the matching has been performed at tree level. Going to one loop would generate the operators that are absent here and would allow a consistent treatment of the running between the matching scales.' This weakens the robustness of the presence/absence discriminators, but it is a stated approximation rather than a circular reduction of the predictions to their inputs. Therefore the appropriate score is 0.
Assumptions & free parameters
assumptions (4)
- domain assumption The global U(1) symmetry is exact and identified with lepton number and the Peccei-Quinn symmetry.
- domain assumption The portal couplings beta1, beta2 and beta5 are treated as small, so the minimization of the scalar potential decouples and the matching is performed at leading order in them.
- domain assumption The heavy seesaw fields and the radial mode are integrated out using tree-level EOM expansions; one-loop corrections are neglected.
- domain assumption v_phi is much larger than v_EW, so the electroweak vev can be neglected in the minimization along phi.

abstract
We revisit the traditional Type I, II and III Seesaw mechanisms in the presence of a complex scalar field charged under a global $U(1)$ symmetry that can be identified with lepton number and the Peccei-Quinn symmetry. After symmetry breaking, the radial mode becomes heavy while the angular mode appears as an axion-like particle, traditionally dubbed the Majoron. We construct the effective field theory obtained after integrating out the heavy states and analyse two matching orders: first removing the radial mode and then the Seesaw fields, and vice versa. Both procedures yield the same low-energy Lagrangian containing only Standard Model fields and the Majoron. Because a single vacuum expectation value fixes the mediator masses, the radial mode and every Majoron coupling, these models predict relations among observables rather than their individual size, and it is these relations that are testable. Indeed, the invisible Higgs width is locked to the universal suppression of the Higgs couplings, while the Majoron-lepton coupling is fixed by the measured non-unitarity of the leptonic mixing matrix, and the two independently give comparable lower bounds on the same lepton-number breaking scale, of order $1$-$10$ TeV. Neutrinoless double beta decay with Majoron emission, by contrast, has no sensitivity in this class of models. The framework is thus falsifiable even when the new states lie far beyond experimental reach.
