Neutrino masses, matter-antimatter asymmetry, dark matter, and supermassive black hole formation explained with Majorons

Abstract
The spontaneous breaking of a global lepton number symmetry can result in a (pseudo) Nambu-Goldstone boson known as the Majoron. We study a singlet Majoron model that couples to two Higgs doublets in which the lepton number current develops an electromagnetic anomaly, allowing the decay of Majorons into photons. We focus on Majorons at the eV scale with an enhanced anomaly and show that it serves as a dark matter candidate whose decay signals can be probed by space telescope observations. Furthermore, if the decay produces Lyman-Werner photons, heavy black hole seeds can be generated via the direct collapse mechanism and evolve into the active galactic nuclei we observe at high redshifts. Our framework thus simultaneously addresses the origin of neutrino masses, the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, the nature of dark matter, and the formation of high redshift supermassive black holes.
