Resumo:A model is presented where a GeV axion-like-particle (ALP) is predicted in alarge portion of the parameter space due to the presence of explicit Peccei–Quinn (PQ) symmetry-breaking terms in an exotic leptonic sector. Thelatter provides a solution to the muon g − 2 anomaly, within the framework of the Linear Seesaw neutrino mechanism. The spectrum is extended by a complex scalar singlet only transforming under the PQ symmetry, which generates the ALP. Its couplings with fermions can continuously span overmany orders of magnitude, which constitutes a specific feature of this modelin contrast to generic ultraviolet constructions. Interestingly, these coupling sare suppressed by the ALP characteristic scale that can be as low as the TeVscale, which represents a novel feature of the model and opens up to several phenomenological consequences
