This happens in the well-known {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}Majoron paradigm{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} for neutrino mass generation. We propose some realistic examples that allow spontaneous lepton number breaking to be safe from such domain walls.", optnote="WOS:000464756200002", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3985), last updated on Wed, 22 May 2019 10:38:10 +0000", issn="0031-9007", doi="10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.151301", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.11198", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.151301", language="English" }
