We show that the dominant Gamow-Teller part, $M^{0\nu}_{GT}$, of the nuclear matrix element governing the neutrinoless $\beta\beta$ decay is related to the matrix element $M^{2\nu}_{cl}$ governing the allowed two-neutrino $\beta\beta$…
A formal relation between the GT part of the nuclear matrix elements $M^0\nu}_{GT}$ of $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay and the closure matrix elements $M^{2\nu}_{cl}$ of $2\nu\beta\beta$ decay is established. This relation is based on the integral…
