Ruling out the inverted neutrino hierarchy with neutrinoless double beta decay experiments is possible if a limit on the effective mass below the minimal theoretically possible value is reached. We stress that this lower limit depends…

Relativistic corrections are investigated to the Gamow-Teller(GT) sum rule with respect to the difference between the $\beta_-$ and $\beta_+$ transition strengths in nuclei. Since the sum rule requires the complete set of the nuclear…
