Dark matter reflection of particle symmetry

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-04-26 v2

Abstract

In the context of the relationship between physics of cosmological dark matter and symmetry of elementary particles a wide list of dark matter candidates is possible. New symmetries provide stability of different new particles and their combination can lead to a multicomponent dark matter. The pattern of symmetry breaking involves phase transitions in very early Universe, extending the list of candidates by topological defects and even primordial nonlinear structures.
