abstract

Some time ago it was claimed in "Spontaneous Breaking of Lepton Number and Cosmological Domain Wall Problem" (Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 151301 (2019)) that non perturbative instantons of the weak interaction $\text{SU}(2)_\text{W}$ lead to the formation of domain walls in Majoron models owing to the anomaly of the spontaneously broken global lepton number $L$ symmetry $\text{U}(1)_L$ with respect to $\text{SU}(2)_\text{W}$. We point out that it has long been known, that this effect can be completely rotated away unless there is a source of explicit $B+L$ breaking present, where $B$ denotes baryon number. We further estimate the tiny instanton induced Majoron mass from $B+L$ breaking and analyze the cosmological impact of such domain walls including possible finite temperature effects. In general this scenario does not lead to a cosmological catastrophe and we demonstrate that the tiny instanton induced mass can act as a bias term to collapse walls induced by a larger source of lepton number breaking. Alternatively this electroweak Majoron could act as dynamical dark energy.

  • The Majoron Cosmological Window: Dark Matter and Thermal Leptogenesis hep-ph · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · none · ref 36 · internal anchor

    The minimal majoron framework permits simultaneous majoron dark matter and thermal leptogenesis in a constrained cosmological window set by freeze-in production, warm dark matter bounds, and indirect detection limits.

  • A New Route to the Annihilation of Multi-Wall String Topological Configurations hep-ph · 2026-06-06 · unverdicted · none · ref 38 · internal anchor

    Small bare fermion masses generate a bias via radiative corrections that triggers annihilation of multi-wall cosmic string networks in gravitationally broken global U(1) models, illustrated in a majoron framework with right-handed neutrinos.
