A singlet scalar assisted $N_{2}$ Leptogenesis and Pseudo-Scalar Dark Matter
Abstract
We study the Leptogenesis and Dark Matter in the presence of an extra singlet complex scalar field in an extended discrete symmetry. The vacuum expectation value of the new scalar spontaneously breaks the symmetry. A remnant CP-like symmetry stabilizes the imaginary part of the complex scalar field which can act as a pseudo-Goldstone DM. The real part of the complex scalar couples to RHN opens up new decay channels which can lead to a larger CP-violation in generating the lepton asymmetry. Thus the singlet complex scalar plays a crucial role in understanding the Leptogenesis and Dark Matter parameter space. This singlet complex scalar is also responsible for the First-Order Phase Transition (FOPT) which may provide observable stochastic Gravitational wave signatures. We discuss the possible correlations among these three phenomena.
