Simple theory for scotogenic dark matter with residual matter-parity
Abstract
Dark matter stability can result from a residual matter-parity symmetry surviving spontaneous breaking of an extended gauge symmetry. We propose the simplest scotogenic dark matter completion of the original SVS theory [1], in which the "dark sector" particles as well as matter-parity find a natural theoretical origin within the model. We briefly comment on its main features.
