Abstract

We propose a novel leptogenesis scenario in the gauged U(1)LμLτU(1)_{L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}} model. Achieving successful leptogenesis in the U(1)LμLτU(1)_{L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}} symmetric phase is challenging due to the absence of a CP phase, caused by restriction from the gauge symmetry. To overcome this issue, we introduce an additional global symmetry, U(1)BLU(1)_{B-L}, and a scalar field Φ\Phi responsible for breaking this symmetry. Through the kinetic misalignment mechanism, the majoron field associated with U(1)BLU(1)_{B-L} symmetry breaking has a kinetic motion in the early universe. Subsequently, time-dependent majoron field background induces the background CP phase dynamically, leading to successful leptogenesis in the U(1)LμLτU(1)_{L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}} symmetric phase. Furthermore, majoron itself serves as a dark matter candidate in this scenario. As one of the phenomenological applications, we consider the model that can also explain the muon g2g-2 anomaly.
