The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The load-bearing structure is the minimal extended seesaw mass texture. The active neutrino mass is $m_\nu\simeq M_D M_R^{-1} M_S^{\rm T}(M_S M_R^{-1} M_S^{\rm T})^{-1} M_S(M_R^{-1})^{\rm T} M_D^{\rm T}-M_D M_R^{-1} M_D^{\rm T}$, the sterile mass is $m_s\simeq-M_S M_R^{-1} M_S^{\rm T}$, and the active–sterile mixing vector is $W=M_D M_R^{-1} M_S^{\rm T}(M_S M_R^{-1} M_S^{\rm T})^{-1}$; with a single singlet $S$ coupled only to $\nu_{R1}$ these reduce to one keV sterile state of mass $G^2/(\lambda_1 v)$ and mixing $W=(D_1/G,\,0,\,P/G)^{\rm T}$. Three numerical formulas then carry the phenomenology: the $0\nu\beta\beta$ effective mass $m_{3+1}^{\rm eff}=m_{3\nu}^{\rm eff}+m_4|\theta_S|^2$, the decay width $\Gamma_{S\to3\nu}=G_F^2 m_S^5 \sin^2\theta_S/(96\pi^3)$, and the relic abundance $\Omega_{\rm DM}h^2\simeq0.3(\sin^2 2\theta_{S\nu}/10^{-10})(m_S/100\ \mathrm{keV})^2$. The whole argument is the map from these formulas to closed contours in the $(m_S,\theta_S)$ plane.
What would settle it
Evaluate Eq. (21) at $\Omega_{\rm DM}h^2=0.119$ for $m_S=1,2,3$ keV to find the required $\sin^2\theta_S$, and compare it with the upper limit set by Eq. (18) under $\Gamma<10^{-28}\ \mathrm{s}^{-1}$; the normal-ordering dark-matter window survives only if the two ranges intersect. An independent check is to infer $\theta_S$ from the measured flux of the $E=3.55$ keV X-ray line, compute the relic abundance from Eq. (21), and compare it with the cosmologically measured dark-matter density.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The paper's central finding is a set of parameter windows in which one keV sterile neutrino simultaneously satisfies three constraints. Using the MES formula for the $0\nu\beta\beta$ effective mass, $m_{3+1}^{\rm eff}=m_{3\nu}^{\rm eff}+m_4|\theta_S|^2$, it shows that values of $m_4|\theta_S|^2$ above $10^{-4}$ keV would push the effective mass beyond the $0.01$ eV future reach; this yields the paper's upper bound on the active–sterile mixing element. For dark matter, it combines the three-neutrino decay width $\Gamma_{S\to 3\nu}$ with the non-resonant relic formula and imposes $\Gamma<10^{-28}\ \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ together with $\Omega_{\rm DM}h^2=0.119$, which in normal ordering leaves $m_S$ around $1\text{--}3$ keV as the allowed window; in inverted ordering the decay-width and relic windows do not overlap. For baryogenesis, the decay of the lightest right-handed neutrino with masses $R_1=10^{12}$ GeV, $R_2=10^{13}$ GeV, $R_3=5\times10^{13}$ GeV produces a baryon asymmetry in agreement with observation, with normal ordering again more efficient and the Dirac CP phase constrained to $\delta\approx2\text{--}4$. The paper therefore claims a correlation between a future $0\nu\beta\beta$ measurement, a sterile-neutrino dark-matter signal, and the measured baryon asymmetry, all within one $A_4$-based MES construction; it also states explicitly that the keV sterile neutrino as dark matter within MES is still on the verge of uncertainty.
Load-bearing premise
The load-bearing premise is that a tiny, time-independent active–sterile mixing angle $\theta_S<10^{-6}$ with non-resonant production (Eq. 21) generates the observed dark-matter relic abundance; if the mixing required for $\Omega_{\rm DM}h^2=0.119$ at $m_S\sim1\text{--}10$ keV exceeds the value allowed by the decay-width bound, the claimed $1\text{--}3$ keV dark-matter window collapses.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- If a future $0\nu\beta\beta$ experiment reaches $m_{\rm eff}\sim0.01$ eV and sees nothing, the model converts that null result into the bound $m_S|\theta_S|^2<10^{-4}\ \mathrm{keV}$ on the sterile sector.
- If the normal-ordering dark-matter window $m_S\approx1\text{--}3$ keV is real, the sterile neutrino is warm dark matter; Lyman-$\alpha$ bounds of $m_S\gtrsim1.8\text{--}3.3$ keV sit directly on this window, making the viability testable by structure-formation data.
- A confirmed baryon asymmetry from leptogenesis in this setup requires the Dirac CP phase $\delta\approx2\text{--}4$ in normal ordering, so long-baseline measurements of $\delta$ can confirm or exclude the model's parameter space.
- In inverted ordering, the decay-width and relic-abundance windows do not overlap, so a confirmed keV sterile dark matter with $m_S\gtrsim3$ keV would disfavor the inverted-hierarchy version of this MES model.
- The combination of $0\nu\beta\beta$ and sterile-mass constraints gives a target for future keV sterile searches: if $m_S|\theta_S|^2$ sits near $10^{-4}$ keV, the signal lies just below the next-generation $0\nu\beta\beta$ reach.
Reading between the lines
- The non-resonant production premise deserves the closest scrutiny: evaluating the paper's own Eq. (21) at $m_S=1\text{--}10$ keV requires $\theta_S\sim10^{-5}\text{--}10^{-4}$ to reach $\Omega_{\rm DM}h^2=0.119$, while the lifetime bound $\Gamma<10^{-28}\ \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ permits substantially smaller values; a full Boltzmann treatment including resonant production would determine whether a common
- The 3.55 keV X-ray line interpretation ($m_S\approx7.1$ keV) lies above the NH window found here, so if that line is sterile-neutrino decay, this particular MES model would need a different production mechanism or a modified texture.
- Promoting the static mixing angle to a temperature-dependent one and computing the sterile momentum distribution would turn the model's warm-dark-matter prediction into a quantitative prediction for structure-formation data.
- The predicted texture $W=(D_1/G,\,0,\,P/G)^{\rm T}$ is distinctive, so future flavor-specific sterile-mixing searches could test this $A_4$ assignment against generic 3+1 models.

Referee Report
Summary. The manuscript constructs an A4 x Z4 x Z3 flavor-symmetric minimal extended seesaw (MES) model with three hierarchical right-handed neutrinos and one keV-scale sterile singlet S. The model parameters D1, D2, P are matched to the 3-sigma ranges of the neutrino oscillation parameters for both normal and inverted mass ordering, and the paper then studies three observables: the 0νββ effective mass including the sterile contribution, the sterile-neutrino dark matter relic abundance and decay width, and the baryon asymmetry produced by thermal leptogenesis from the decay of the lightest right-handed neutrino. The paper reports an upper bound on active-sterile mixing from 0νββ, preferred sterile-neutrino mass ranges from dark matter considerations (NH: 1-3 keV; IH: a broader range), constrained Yukawa and CP-phase windows from baryogenesis, and correlations among meff, mS, delta, and YB.
Significance. If the simultaneous constraints were correctly derived, this would be a useful example of a flavor-symmetry-based MES model linking 0νββ, dark matter, and leptogenesis. The A4 construction is explicit, the numerical scans over CP phases are systematic, and the 0νββ and leptogenesis parts follow standard and mostly correct formalism. However, the dark matter analysis contains an internal numerical inconsistency that undermines the paper's headline claim of simultaneous viability; the reported sterile-neutrino mass ranges do not follow from the paper's own equations. Because that claim is the central result, the manuscript cannot be accepted in its present form.
major comments (3)
- [§3.2, Eq. (21)] The assumed static mixing angle theta_S < 10^-6 is incompatible with the relic-density target. Setting Omega_DM h^2 = 0.119 in Eq. (21) gives sin^2(2 theta_S) ≈ 3.97 x 10^-7 (100 keV/mS)^2, i.e., theta_S ≈ 3.2 x 10^-4 (1 keV/mS). For mS = 1-3 keV this is two to three orders of magnitude above the theta_S < 10^-6 assumption stated in Section 3.2, so the relic-abundance curves in Fig. 5 cannot be obtained with the mixing parameters the text says are being used.
- [§3.2, Eq. (18) and §4] The mixing angle required by Eq. (21) also violates the decay-width criterion. Inserting theta_S ≈ 3.2 x 10^-4 (1 keV/mS) into Eq. (18) gives Gamma_{S->3nu} ≈ 6.7 x 10^-27 s^-1 at mS = 1 keV and ≈ 1.7 x 10^-25 s^-1 at mS = 3 keV, both above the paper's stated Gamma < 10^-28 s^-1 limit in Section 4. The intersection of the relic-abundance and decay-width constraints occurs near mS ≈ 0.2 keV, below the (1-18.5) keV window quoted throughout the paper.
- [§3.2 and Fig. 5] Because of the two inconsistencies above, the Fig. 5 caption claim that 'mS around 1-3 keV is consistent with NH mode ... while satisfying both the decay width and relic abundance' does not follow from the paper's own equations. This simultaneous-satisfaction statement is the paper's central advertised result, so the dark-matter mass ranges and the subsequent correlations in Figs. 8-10 that rely on those ranges are unsupported.
minor comments (4)
- [Abstract and Introduction] There are repeated proofreading issues: 'it's influence' in the abstract should be 'its influence', and 'explicitly violets the lepton number' in Section 1 should be 'explicitly violates the lepton number'.
- [Section 3, text before Table 4] The sentence 'R1 =×10^12 GeV' is missing a numerical coefficient; it should presumably read R1 = 10^12 GeV or R1 = n x 10^12 GeV.
- [Figs. 2 and 3] The sterile contribution to the effective mass is denoted m4|theta_S|^2 in Eq. (17) but mS|theta_S|^2 in the Fig. 2 caption; please use one notation consistently and clarify whether m4 and mS are the same quantity.
- [Section 3.2, text near Eq. (20)] The sentence 'the mixing parameter, sin 2 2theta_S from eq. (20) got heavily suppressed' refers to a decay-width formula; the mixing combination sin^2(2 theta_S) appears in Eq. (20), but the sentence should be reworded to avoid implying Eq. (20) defines the mixing parameter.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: parameters are fitted to neutrino oscillation data and outputs are checked against external bounds.
full rationale
The model parameters D1, D2, P are solved from the observed neutrino mass-squared differences and mixing angles (Sec. 3), and the CP phases are scanned over their allowed ranges; the subsequent 0νββ, dark-matter, and leptogenesis quantities are evaluated from those inputs and compared with independent external limits (KamLAND-Zen/GERDA future sensitivity, ΩDMh2=0.119, YB=(8.7±0.06)e-11). No equation in the paper defines a prediction in terms of its target observable, and no fitted parameter is renamed as a prediction. The self-citation to the authors' prior work [66] supplies the MP matrix ansatz, but that matrix is explicitly written in Eq. (4) and used as a model-building input rather than as an external uniqueness theorem, so it is not load-bearing circularity. The hand-picked values R1,R2,R3 and the keV range for mS weaken the model's independence but do not make the outputs equivalent to inputs by construction. The Fig. 5 dark-matter mass-range claim appears internally inconsistent with the stated θS<10^-6 (Eq. (21) at 1-3 keV would require θS~10^-4), but that is a correctness/consistency concern, not a circular derivation; under the hard rules it does not raise the circularity score.

abstract
We explore the possibility of a single generation of $keV$ scale sterile neutrino ($m_S$) as a dark matter candidate within the minimal extended seesaw (MES) framework and it's influence in neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) study. Three hierarchical right-handed neutrinos were considered to explain neutrino mass. We also address baryogenesis via the mechanism of thermal leptogenesis considering the decay of the lightest RH neutrino to a lepton and Higgs doublet. A generic model based on $A_4\times Z_4\times Z_3$ flavor symmetry is constructed to explain both normal and inverted hierarchy mass pattern of neutrinos. Significant results on effective neutrino masses are observed in presence of sterile mass ($m_S$) and active-sterile mixing ($\theta_{S}$) in $0\nu\beta\beta$. Results from $0\nu\beta\beta$ give stringent upper bounds on the active-sterile mixing matrix element. To establish sterile neutrino as dark matter within this model, we checked decay width and relic abundance of the sterile neutrino, which restricted sterile mass ($m_S$) within some definite bounds. Constrained regions on the CP-phases and Yukawa couplings are obtained from $0\nu\beta\beta$ and baryogenesis results. Co-relations among these observable are also established and discussed within this framework.
