Automatic Peccei-Quinn symmetry

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-10-19 v1

Abstract

We present a dynamical (composite) axion model where the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry arises automatically as a consequence of chirality and gauge symmetry. The Standard Model is simply extended by a confining and chiral SU(5)SU(5) gauge symmetry. The PQ symmetry coincides with a BLB-L symmetry of the exotic sector. The theory is protected by construction from quantum gravitational corrections stemming from operators with mass dimension lower than nine.
