Abstract

It has recently been pointed out that the underlying symmetry of dark matter may well be U(1)χU(1)_\chi (coming from SO(10)SU(5)×U(1)χSO(10) \to SU(5) \times U(1)_\chi) with the dark parity of any given particle determined by (1)Qχ+2j(-1)^{Q_\chi+2j}, where QχQ_\chi is its U(1)χU(1)_\chi charge and jj its spin angular momentum. Armed with this new insight, previous simple models of dark matter are reinterpreted, and a novel idea is proposed that light seesaw dark matter exists in analogy to light neutrinos and is produced by the rare decay of the standard-model Higgs boson.
