contents Neutrinoless double beta decay ($0νββ$) may receive sizable contributions from short-range physics beyond the Standard Model. We present a systematical classification of all tree-level ultraviolet completions of the dimension-11 short-range $0νββ$ decay operators, renormalizable scenarios with scalar and fermion mediators are considered. We identify eight distinct topologies and twenty-eight viable diagrams, from which all consistent UV completions are generated by imposing Standard Model gauge invariance. All these models involve a total of 61 new fields beyond the Standard Model and they typically feature fractionally charged fermions and exotic bosons such as dileptons, diquarks, and leptoquarks. We further study a representative model without colored mediators and analyze its implications for the $0νββ$ decay half-life and light neutrino masses. We find that current and future $0νββ$ decay experiments impose stringent constraints. Our systematic decomposition provides a general framework for exploring exotic short-range contributions to $0νββ$ decay in future experiments.
