Abstract In the context of $$SU(3)_C \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_\chi $$SU(3)C×SU(2)L×U(1)Y×U(1)χ, where $$U(1)_\chi $$U(1)χ comes from $$SO(10) \rightarrow SU(5) \times U(1)_\chi $$SO(10)→SU(5)×U(1)χ, supplemented by the non-Abelian discrete $$\Delta (27)$$Δ(27) symmetry for three lepton families, Dirac neutrino masses and their mixing are radiatively generated through dark matter. The gauge $$U(1)_\chi $$U(1)χ symmetry is broken spontaneously. The discrete $$\Delta (27)$$Δ(27) symmetry is broken softly and spontaneously. Together, they result in two residual symmetries, a global $$U(1)_L$$U(1)L lepton number and a dark symmetry, which may be $$Z_2$$Z2, $$Z_3$$Z3, or $$U(1)_D$$U(1)D depending on what scalar breaks $$U(1)_\chi $$U(1)χ. Cobimaximal neutrino mixing, i.e. $$\theta _{13} \ne 0$$θ13≠0, $$\theta _{23} = \pi /4$$θ23=π/4, and $$\delta _{CP} = \pm \pi /2$$δCP=±π/2, may also be obtained.

Abelian quiver gauge theories provide candidates for the conformality approach to physics beyond the standard model which possess novel cancellation mechanisms for quadratic divergences. A Z2 symmetry ( R parity) can be imposed and leads naturally to a dark matter candidate which is the Lightest Conformality Particle (LCP), a neutral spin-1 / 2 state with weak interaction annihilation cross-section, mass in the 100 GeV region and relic density of non-baryonic dark matter Ωdm which can be consistent with the observed value Ωdm≃0.24.

A model for the 17 keV Dirac neutrino is considered in the framework of the SU(2) × U(1) theory. No right-handed neutrinos are introduced. The Dirac mass for the neutrino arises from the Le+Lτ–Lμ invariant couplings of the left-handed neutrinos to an SU(2) triplet. An SU(2) singlet field is introduced to suppress the Majoron coupling to the Z. This makes the model consistent with the LEP results on the invisible Z width. The singlet vacuum expectation value ω is constrained to be ≤O(80 MeV) from cosmological considerations. For, ω≈80 MeV, the 17 keV neutrino is shown to provide the bulk of the dark matter.

Abstract We investigate the nightmare scenario of dark sectors that are made of non-abelian gauge theories with fermions, gravitationally coupled to the Standard Model (SM). While testing these scenarios is experimentally challenging, they are strongly motivated by the accidental stability of dark baryons and pions, that explain the cosmological stability of dark matter (DM). We study the production of these sectors which are minimally populated through gravitational freeze-in, leading to a dark sector temperature much lower than the SM, or through inflaton decay, or renormalizable interactions producing warmer DM. Despite having only gravitational couplings with the SM these scenarios turn out to be rather predictive depending roughly on three parameters: the dark sector temperature, the confinement scale and the dark pion mass. In particular, when the initial temperature is comparable to the SM one these scenarios are very constrained by structure formation, ∆Neff and limits on DM self-interactions. Dark sectors with same temperature or warmer than SM are typically excluded.
