The seesaw mechanism in models with extra dimensions is shown to be generically consistent with a broad range of Majorana masses. The resulting democracy of scales implies that the seesaw mechanism can naturally explain the smallness of neutrino masses for an arbitrarily small right-handed neutrino mass. If the scales of the seesaw parameters are split, with two right-handed neutrinos at a high scale and one at a keV scale, one can explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe, as well as dark matter. The dark matter candidate, a sterile right-handed neutrino with mass of several keV, can account for the observed pulsar velocities and for the recent data from Chandra X-ray Observatory, which suggest the existence of a 5 keV sterile right-handed neutrino.

  1. Minimal Majoron Dark Matter from a Discrete $Z_N$ Gauge Symmetry

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Discrete Z_N-protected majoron dark matter excludes Z_5, leaves Z_7/Z_11/Z_13 viable, and predicts a 1–10 MeV Z_7 majoron testable by COSI through 511 keV and γγ lines.

  2. Neutrino Portal to Extra Dimensions: Unified Origin of Dark Radiation, Dark Matter, and Neutrino Decay

    hep-ph 2025-06 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A model with a bulk sterile neutrino and a Majoron claims to unify dark matter, dark radiation, and invisible neutrino decay, but its quoted parameter space is internally inconsistent.
