18. Other new physics beyond the standard model, e.g., R-parity violating supersymmetry, Majoron, doubly charged Higgs boson, can also cause neutrinoless double-beta decay (see, e.g. 13 and references therein). However, such models induce Majorana mass for neutrinos from radiative corrections as well.

22. The positive evidence for neutrino oscillation from the LSND experiment 17 does not fit into the standard three-generation framework. We ignore this evidence in this Rapid Communication.
23. The degenerate spectrum can further be either of normal or inverted hierarchy.
