Abstract

Choosing how gauge U(1)χU(1)_\chi breaks in the context of SO(10)SU(5)×U(1)χSO(10) \to SU(5) \times U(1)_\chi, Z4Z_4 lepton number may be obtained which maintains neutrinos as Dirac fermions. Choosing Δ(27)\Delta(27) as the family symmetry of leptons, tree-level Dirac neutrino masses may be forbidden. Choosing a specific set of self-interacting dark-matter particles, Dirac neutrino masses and mixing may then be generated in two loops. This framework allows the realization of cobimaximal neutrino mixing, i.e. θ130\theta_{13} \neq 0, θ23=π/4\theta_{23} = \pi/4, δCP=±π/2\delta_{CP} = \pm \pi/2, as well as the desirable feature that the light scalar mediator of dark-matter interactions decays only to neutrinos, thereby not disrupting the cosmic microwave background (CMB).
